Just watched this. An odd film; a mix of film noir narrative overlay, slasher, sexploitation and a moral message. Paz de la Huerta as the 'nurse' is super sexy and undressed for about 30% of the movie. Having watched her in Boardwalk Empire and this, I can't decide whether she can't act at all, is a one trick pony or held back by typecasting. Here she plays an entirely competent serial killer so cold she'd make Henry and Otis squirm. Pretty high production values for what I would say was a film on a tight budget and the gore is plentiful and at times enjoyably gratuitous. Definitely not a keeper but fun for a Saturday night on the sofa with a bowl of popcorn. 6/10

Tongue-In-Cheek, Among Other Places, this Sexy Slasher Movie is Big on Nudity, Lacy Things, and a Back Story of a Female Serial Killer's Childhood Trauma Roots. Playing the Pouting Lead is Pouting Paz de la Huerta with Her Trademark Lips and Eagerness to Disrobe.

The Movie is a Bloody B-Movie that Looks Slick and Sick, with Some Goofy Humor that Works and Some Suspense Piled On. The Thing goes Way Over the Top in the Final Act and the Red Stuff Drenches the Screen with One Typical Slasher Movie Killing After Another.

It Manages to Drain All Empathy for the Nurse with a Killing Spree that No Longer has Any Triggered Psychosis and just Lapses into a Non Discriminate Death March, Mostly to Throw in as Much 3D as Possible before it Ends.

Overall, Worth a Watch for Horror and Slasher Fans and Those that Like a Parade of Sexy Shots and Scenes with Attractive People Wetted Up for the Camera.

Late Night Adult Pay TV has Made that Type of Stuff so Common One Wonders What the Filmmakers Hoped to Achieve by Including it in an Otherwise Fair Attempt at Black Comedy Mixed with Horror that can Work So Well.

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

A crazed nurse who spends most of the running time in a state of undress, becomes obsessed with a beautiful female co-worker, and also lures cheating men to their gruesome deaths. Sounds good right? And I ask that without an once of condescension - it does sound good. But it's not. In fact it's awful and perfectly understandable why it collected dust on the shelf for over two years before being dumped in a handful of theaters and VOD. As forgettable as the film is, there would be nothing of value here if it wasn't for Paz de la Huerta. Her line readings are mind bogglingly insane and she's clearly drunk in more than a few scenes. There doesn't seem to be much going on between her ears, except for her synapses misfiring and she comes across like a complete imbecile and/or stroke victim. Whatever her problem is, drugs, booze, low IQ - she's hilarious. There's also voice-over narration throughout the film that is supposed to be Paz, but it's clearly a different actress's voice. It just adds to the absurd nature of this film. A behind the scenes documentary that shows all and tells all, would be far more entertaining than watching the final product. Paz de la Huerta gives a legendary performance of awful.

One of the worst things I have seen in a long time! The only saving grace was Katrina Bowden. I don't think I've ever said this but there was just way to much nudity, that even felt wrong typing, but it's all the movie is. It's like they knew they had a stinker so they threw in a bunch of T&A and hoped no one would notice how bad it was. Well, I noticed and I want a refund.

Paz De La Huerta CAN NOT act. It was like watching someone run their fingernails across a chalkboard. Yes, it was that bad. Save yourself some money, more importantly, save yourselves the hour and a half of your life that you'll never get back. Stay away, stay very far away.....

In New York, Abby Russell (Paz de la Huerta) is a nurse of the All Saints Memorial Hospital and a serial-killer of unfaithful husband after hours. When the rookie Danni (Katrina Bowden) is hired to work in the hospital, Abby is into Danni but she has a boyfriend and does not suspect of the intentions of her friend. Abby believes that if she kills Danni's stepfather, Dr. Larry Cook (Martin Donovan), she will live with her. But soon Danni suspects that Abby has murdered her stepfather and moves apart from her. When the new HR manager arrives at the hospital, she is impressed with the resemblance of Abby with a woman named Sarah Price. Danni investigates Sarah and discloses dark secrets from the past of Abby.

"Nurse" is a horror movie with one of the awfullest lead actresses that I have ever seen. Paz de la Huerta seems to have speech problem and is neither beautiful nor sexy or funny and her nudity is depressing. Douglas Aarniokoski directs the movie with heavy hand and scenes that should be funny to relief the tension do not work. Last but not the least, the story is terrible. My vote is three.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

Quite possibly the most poorly written female lead character of all time. I selected this movie hoping it would be similar to American Mary. Unlike the amazing depth of character given to Mary, this lead was a horrible noir wannabe ripped right out of a low budget video game and placed in a world amongst otherwise adequate actors and actresses. She just didn't fit and every word she said was frustrating because we were supposed to believe the other characters accepted it as normal, or worse, sexy. I couldn't decide if it was the acting of the actress that was terrible or if she was doing the best she could with what is by far the laziest dialog ever written. It's like the director's idea of a bad girl is a girl who talks slowly and whispers at all times for absolutely no reason. There were no elements of surprise in the entire film as the character was so one dimensional that you could guess exactly how she would react to a situation and be absolutely correct to the point where it was ridiculous. Her first world problems back story makes her hard to empathize with. One final thought, why did they choose that particular actress? The character is supposed to be this sexy freak that men lose their minds over but every shot of her face is cringe worthy. I normally wouldn't judge based on looks but her character is supposed to be irresistible and everything about her, from her pout face to her god awful whisper voice is just terrible.

I loved this movie. It's over the top in all the best ways. It's incredibly bloody and the finale was everything I hoped it'd be. Paz was great and Katrina Bowden gave one of her best performances here. Definitely a leave your brain at the door and have fun kind of movie.

I couldn't watch this movie to the end. I got about 20 minutes in and decided I might re-read a book instead of watching bad movies on Netflix.

The first thing I noticed is Paz de la Huerta who plays the main character Abby Russell. Probably the worst acting I have ever seen. I have seen better acting in commercials and soap operas. Her voice was the most irritating. Not helped at all by the terrible script. I had no idea who she was but I looked her up thinking it must be her first movie, but apparently she has 48 credits. She has no emotion, resting bitch face and bad delivery of lines and body language. I can say she was likely hired because of her body and willingness to appear naked in the film.

Katrina Bowden who plays a nurse Danni, has much better acting skills and would have made a much better lead.

Okay so the movie - the part I watched anyway

Abby Russell is a nurse that 'disguises' herself as a slut and goes out to bars and clubs wearing barely anything and waits for married men to hit on her. Of course a married man does. She 'ALWAYS' gives them a chance to change their mind. He doesn't and then the movie starts.

We then discover she is more interested in woman than men. We find this out during a scene at a nightclub that was the most nauseating to watch. The lights flashed across the screen, if I had epilepsy I would have had a fit. Then we see her prance around naked at her house and walked unnaturally as if she was strutting on a runway. (You know she is a bad actress, when she can't even walk naturally).

Then I turned the TV off.

Look, if grindhouse isn't your thing, that's cool. I hate ballet. I would review every ballet I see as the most boring experience one could have in a theater. But as one of the best representatives of the genre given us in a long while, Nurse delivers just the right dose.

Is Paz de la Huerta going to win any Academy awards any time soon? Hell no she's not, but this isn't a movie in which you are expected to suspend disbelief any more than being on a roller coaster is trying to make you feel like you're driving on the freeway. This is over the top mayhem with hearty helpings of sex, gore and dark humor. For me her acting (and perhaps especially her voice over work) elevated the movie beyond what it would have been with a "good" actress. Frankly I'm not even sure much acting was required, as those familiar with Paz's real- life adventures might agree.

The rest of the cast is decent with Katrina Bowden bringing the requisite wide-eyed innocence about to be shattered, and Judd Nelson doing his best creepy shaggy mustache. But Paz and the smart, brisk writing are what breathes life into Nurse. And the gratuitous T&A certainly didn't hurt my enjoyment either.

Even so, if grindhouse is your ballet, you probably want to skip this.

Nurse (2013) is a movie I recently watched on HBOMAX. The storyline follows a nurse by day and serial killer by night. She lures cheating men into sexual encounters and then they're never seen again. When she falls for one of the new nurses who join the staff she will need to manage her obsession and her hobby.

This movie is directed by Douglas Aarniokoski (Highlander: End Game) and stars Paz de la Huerta (Enter the Void), Katrina Bowden (Tucker and Dale vs Evil), Judd Nelson (Breakfast Club), Kathleen Turner (Serial Mom), Niecy Nash (Reno 911), Corbin Bleu (Galaxy Quest) and Boris Kodjoe (Resident Evil Afterlife).

The storyline for this is what I wanted Promising Young Woman to be. I loved the main character and her narration that displayed her wild perspectives throughout the movie. The kills and use of blood in this is very good. There's plenty of nudity throughout the movie, nothing left to the imagination. The acting is very solid and everyone fit their characters well. They did make hospitals seem like a frat house a little with everyone dating and sleeping with each other. The storyline unfolds well and there's a good twist at the end.

Overall this movie is underrated and I'm not sure why the reviews are so bad. I would score this a 7/10 and recommend seeing it once.

I have learned that there's one step beyond cliché that's even worse. It's something like cliché with maximum lack of taste, mixed with fantasies of a disturbed teenage boy.

I have learned that I can survive 84 minutes of zero originality, terrible characters, and horrendous acting.

I have learned that a movie can be so bad that you don't really care about the nudity anymore because even that can't save it.

I have learned that a boring blonde bimbo can actually be the best part of a movie. (Not saying 'good', mind you.)

I have learned that the worst actress on the set by far can get the lead role. (I think that was the most unbearable part.)

I have learned that there are other movies than Harry Potter that can be rated 1/10.

This movie taught me so much. Highly recommended if you're a masochist.

Oh man, Nurse 3D is baaad. The acting is atrocious, really atrocious. And that woman in the lead role? I don't know anything about her, but apart from when she's half naked (which she is a lot) she actually looks like a drag queen haha. I'm only saying this because everyone kept saying how gorgeous she is - but not for me, and if you see the film you'll agree that they seemed to be trying to drive the entire movie on her (apparently great) looks, but she can't act to save her life, and has a face like a busted sofa lol. The first half is just a bunch of tits, ass and titillation, which ain't what I want to see in (what seemed to be) a horror flick. There's a bit of CGI gore towards the end but it fails to lift the dud from the gutter. The movie stinks like a fart in the bath. Avoid, unless you really are desperate to see the lead character naked. I want my friggin money back.

Paz De La Huerta (the lead actress) is known for her drunken, sexual acts in public. In this she wasn't actually acting at all and yet it was still unbelievably bad. Not sure if she was trying to sound like Marilyn Munroe or what, but she just sounded like she'd downed a bottle of booze before each take.

Plot revolves around the idea that every man is a sleaze bag, attracted to massive, fake looking pouts and over the top slutty behaviour.

Supporting characters are one dimensional, stupid and unethical within their professions.

Plenty more that bothers me about this, but oddly the thing that bothers me the most......... nurses wearing white platform shoes, stockings, garter belt and tight mini dresses on the job. It may as well have been a porn for those who get off on gore.

being a nurse myself i was super excited when i heard about this upcoming movie. finally got to see it and i was disappointed. it was boring, it had no story line, the acting is horrific.

the special effects where low grade, the storyline was all miss-match, and at the end you think to yourself...." Ummmm, okay. what was the point of this? and why did i just waste 1hr 30mins of my life, even though sitting through this movie felt longer then that"

I really wanted this to be good. its just a let down from the get go, i am unsure as to where this so called $10,000,000 budget went for this movie?? I've seen better low budget movies. I'm sure there are many other people out there excited about seeing this movie. Maybe stick to thinking how good it is, instead of seeing it and destroying that thought process...

Nurse isn't a Masterpiece for sure, but it isn't the worst movie ever. With Nurse you will have an epiphany : Paz DE la Huerta is certainly the worst actress ever. She can't talk properly, she can't make you interested in any psychological aspect of the character. You just don't believe. She is the living proof that not everyone can act, and she's doing it perfectly. And because of her, what could have been good in the movie is totally ruined. What a waste of money for producers and of time for me. It is just seems like the role was already assigned to her even before the script has been written. I'm quite sure that someone didn't know that making movie with professionals was a must in this industry. It is a pity.

The only good thing about this film is that it is short. The lead actress is absolutely awful. She was neither convincing as a a nurse or a psychopath or sexy as either one, which was kinda the point of the whole film. I imagine some people will be drawn to this film by the promise of sexiness and gore, but Nurse 3D fails massively on both points. I knew this film would be terrible after 5 minutes, I toughed it out only because it was short and I didn't have enough time to watch something else before The Walking Dead comes on. If you start watching this film and after 5 minutes you think it's terrible, do yourself a favour and stop watching it.

Nurses are sometimes displayed as sexy stereotypes. This movie added also some psychopathic/egocentric characteristics to this stereotype and thereby created a much more nuanced character then the far more often seen sexy dumb blonde.

This movie ain't exactly porn or horror, but has most in common with exploitation movies, whereby nudity and violence is used to get more attention for movies. The nudity in this movie however is very functional for the character development of the sexy Abigail. The power of sexual attractiveness is very well displayed in this movie.

The storyline and acting were far more sophisticated then I had expected after having read a review about this movie. This movie also scores from a cinematographic point of view: there are many colorful scenes with a good feel for balance and symmetry.

Great movie!

In the midst of the t, a and gore the bad wig worn by the lead character grabs all attention. To be fair the wig is not guilty of the horrible acting endemic to the entire cast.

Let's just make thing one thing clear. Horror films are suppose to be purely entertaining and you shouldn't expect some Oscar acting. Paz is not the best actress, but neither was she down right horrible as some are claiming. I feel Huerta's acting was pretty amusing it's obvious it was meant to be over the top cheese and humorous.

As for the film goes yes there's not much originality behind the story, but what horror film is now a days? I personally enjoyed this film due to the ridiculously funny dialogue and watching Paz be a crazy obsessive murdering bitch. There was enough blood to satisfy me and yes there's tons of nudity, but hardly any graphic sex scenes so I don't get why some are calling this soft core porn.

The ending climax was pretty great in my opinion because it was filled with constant bloody deaths and a big cat fight that kept me thrilled. I believe this film is worth checking out for any horror fan. It was a fun erotic horror thriller and it defiantly entertained the hell out of me.

I recently saw this movie and felt compelled to write a review.

I'd read some of the other reviews before viewing, and had two reactions. First, this movie is a good deal better than I was led to expect from the reviews. Second, the negative reviewers were simply wrong on key points.

The plot is simple enough. A woman with "father" issues is sick of men who take sexual advantage of women in work places, and ruin families by thinking with their penis, and decides to take matters into her own hands (no pun intended). By day she is a dedicated nurse, by night she trolls for guys who she feels deserve death because of their sexual conduct. And she takes advantage of her medical knowledge to pull off her kills.

She accomplishes her task by scantily dressing like a total slut, and throwing herself at whoever looks interested. And this is a woman with extremely good looks and a smoldering sensuality.

The use of medical knowledge makes just barely (no pun intended) believable the ability of a skinny girl to pull off killing the guys she ends up alone with. And the tinge of unfairness in her judging men from their reaction to her "entrapment" is immediately offset by the slightly tongue in cheek treatment of this plot by the lead actress. Thus my several no puns intended really were.

I know this is just my opinion, but Paz de la Huerta is drop dead gorgeous in this movie. Even her casual movements seem specifically choreographed to be sultry and provocative. And to spice things up even more, she has some brief nude scenes with all of her parts uncovered, and she comes on to another woman whom she wishes to befriend. I think she plays this part magnificently. She definitely has the body and voice for it, and her approach is just shy of serious, in the same manner as Sean Connery's treatment of his 007 portrayals.

Its not all T&A though, as the real world soon intrudes on her activities, and some unqualifiedly serious stuff does happen, and there is definitely a gore element. Overall, tinge of comedy aside, this movie is more suspense than drama.

Secondary characters are also well played by Katrina Bowden, Judd Nelson, and a brief appearance by an almost unrecognizable Kathleen Turner.

This movie was a fun watch. I'm not sure the average straight woman would enjoy it as much, but it is what it is. Serious subject, over the top reaction, and really fine views to rivet your attention.

It took me long enough to watch this movie and after all i shouldn't have watched it at all. Plot was fine, i knew what I was going to see but...Paz De La Huerta. GOD. A rock can act better than her. She was supposedly the hot nurse and all, I'll skip the fact that she's ugly AF , and looks like a transgender, that's a personal opinion, but her acting is awful. I mean did they cast her for this role? Who was she competing against for it? Why is she talking like that? She acts like she's drunk or has mental issues. That's the real issue here, another actress could have saved it a bit. Just like Katrina Bowden did, and that's what the 2nd star is for.

I watch a lot of movies, both good and bad. Heck, I even like what many would consider a bad movie... I strongly disliked this poor excuse for a movie. I am not going to bother discussing the story other than it deals with a psychopath that kills cheating men. Enough said about that. My question is who chose these actors (actresses? Not 100% sure about the political correctness of the term anymore)? It's obvious that next to no one in an important role (I am using the word important very loosely here), can act. Also, the writer couldn't write. Gawd this is an awful movie... Also, don't be fooled by the poster - It's the only sexy part of the movie - The lead actress looks like they took the face off a Tiki and put it on a nice body...

i must say that this movie is the worst screenplay i have ever seen. it is saying that a woman is capable of do anything she wants because men are out of their mind. it is not real. it is not helping or useful. it describe every men as a pet. i feel like i waste my time and my day. i wish i never ever see such a movie again. i blame myself for choosing this movie. oh my God. i am telling every one to avoid this movie because its not worth it to watch even for a second. its made me angry. why on earth should anyone make this kind of movie with terribly wrong ideas underlying? the whole movie and its story is wrong. someone needs to make the writer to understand it. i am never gonna see a movie from this director and writer and actress again.

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 old

I 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.
