Nurse 3-D (2014)

Better Late Then Never

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Nurse,in some places,like Blu Ray,3D is a 2013 horror film that I've never seen before and when I heard about it,I had to watch it. The film follows actress Paz De La Huerta as Gabby,a nurse who's clean,free,gentle and nice personality lures men in to the night where she kills them,and runs away and when a new nurse,played by Katrina Bowden,has a sexual encounter with her,she begins to suspect shes the cause of all the crimes in the city and also,the causer of her stepfather's death. Going in to this film,I did'int expect much and what did I get..what I expected. Nurse 3D could be possibly one of the most boring horror films ever made,it had no reason to be played and Paz De La Huerta was one of the most awful performances I've ever seen,she takes like one minute to finish a whole sentence,Katrina Bowden though did give a fresh performance,the best part of the whole film was probably the big showdown at the end,I wont spoil but it was very very awesome and cool. Nurse,though,is a boring film that I advise you not to see and maybe just check out the ending on YouTube

When word about this film came out, I was pretty excited. The movie poster was extremely provocative, and created an interest in the movie for me. The fact that Paz De la Huerta (From HBO's Boardwalk Empire), plays the lead character was a plus.And then, you watch it, and it's a hit and miss kind of feeling from start to finish. On the one end, Paz De la Huerta does have talent, but you wouldn't be able to tell from her acting in this movie, which is one note in every scene. She looks about the same in almost every scene, like she has anger issues and she is just waiting for that one person to set her off - and even then, its not impressive.The plot and story line are pretty good, and the other actors show more range of emotion than Paz does throughout the entire film. The narration that Paz's character, Abby Russell provides to us, feels like she went on a bender, and then takes a moment from said bender to talk about her murderous escapades. I kept thinking that she was slightly drunk at times.The Cinematography is good, and the special effects are OK. I could've done without the CGI in the movie (There's a few in certain scenes). Story wise, I really do like this film, but it needed way more polish. It's OK to watch every now and then, and it would've been a more memorable movie overall, if the acting for the main character had more emotion.It's really not that bad. Lackluster at best. I recommending watching it at least once, and then go from there.

I so wanted to enjoy this. It could have made for a great detective storyline with them being so popular on TV these days.Yes, there are beautiful girls and plenty of boobs and stocking tops on show for those boys going through puberty to enjoy but the blood scenes might prove a bit daunting for a 13 year oldI suppose it can be classed as a black comedy horror that even Ray Bradbury could not have thought of.I can't remember seeing another film where a woman is wearing a bra but no knickers.The film could have been a whole lot more but there is a moral to the story which will give disaffected husbands nightmares.I appreciate that these are modern times and the PC gang are out in full force; so many films and TV shows these days make men out to be weak and feeble and women so strong and dominant (ok, so there are men that like that sort of thing)but surely some sort of parity is needed.On the plus side, the end is not what you would normally predict to happen but I am sure there is no-one demanding a sequel anyway.The film is a bit short but more than adequate enough to pleasure the desires of many of it's viewers.This could have been a sensational detective drama. it just didn't work as a black comedy.

Nurse (2013)* 1/2 (out of 4)Nurse Abby Russell (Paz de la Huerta) loves her job taking care of the sick and helpless but at night she likes to lure married men into her deadly trap. You see, this nurse loves to kill married men who cheat on their wives. Back at the hospital she begins training a new nurse (Katrina Bowden) and soon a deadly attraction begins.NURSE tries very hard to be a throwback to the 1970s grindhouse pictures but it falls well short on a number of levels. Well, to be honest, the film actually plays very much like a grindhouse film from the 70s because this here is pretty bad, has a very thin plot and makes up for that by offering up a lot of nudity and gore. It seems people think if they make a movie campy that they're doing it right but in my opinion campy films, that actually work, were done by people trying to make a serious movie but failed and the end result turned into camp.The problem with NURSE is that it's way too goofy to be taken serious as a horror movie and the goofy moments just aren't all that funny in order for it to work as a spoof. The problem with NURSE is that the story is downright stupid and never really makes too much sense. I mean, she kills married men for a reason, which I get but the screenplay then gets all caught up in this deadly relationship with the other nurse. All of this just leads to a bunch of dumb scenes that really don't add up to much. Another problem is that the humor just isn't all that funny and it really comes across as silly and stupid and especially the stuff with Niecy Nash.Both de la Huerta and Bowden don't add much performance wise but I thought de la Huerta was at least charming in her own ways. Judd Nelson also appears briefly and we get some nice supporting performances but these certainly don't save the movie. NURSE features quite a bit of nudity but it's pretty much topped by the non-nudity of Bowden appearing in full shower shots where she's wearing panties or shorts....in the shower? Either way, NURSE tries hard but falls well short of being a good movie.
