The horror movie that keeps you in suspense is the horror movie that's worth watching and watching again as this ones a keeper. Its the usual theme of Control in this case the owner of the retirement home which just happens to be where a real doctor finds himself being taken after an accident.When he mentions the word Social Services to the owner because he thinks some of the rules are being bent then that's enough to keep him there as a prisoner. The idea really of keeping him there is so he can sign death certificates etc to make the goings on there seem normal-and there's plenty of deaths once the patients have been robbed of everything. Its not unlike real life-today there's plenty of abuse in retirement homes

For quite a while now I have looked out for a copy of "Nursie" on DVD as I had heard quite a few good things about it. Well I finally found it, and no less on sale for 10 dollars, unfortunately 10 dollars still is a lot for a film like "Nursie". The back promises the film will be in the same vain as "Misery", well yeah, I guess you could say its like "Misery" except more awful. It's bland, tedious, and very difficult to finish this movie. The simplistic plot goes like this -"a man and his girlfriend go driving down to visit a friend on the brink of a hurricane, they get ran off the road, and the guy ends up trapped with a psycho lady...oh yeah and here's the spoiler***** after repeatedly almost escaping, then getting recaptured and then getting drugged, he eventually escapes. OH WOW. And by the way he almost escapes like three hundred times and gets caught in another predictable, lazy fashion. The script is lazy, the directing is extremely amateurish (he constantly tilts the camera because that obviously means that this is indeed a "horror/suspense" film). Everything about this film is bland, predictable and sluggish. It's simply not enjoyable. One good thing to say is the acting isn't half bad, aside from the pure crap dialogue the actors had to spew out they did quite well, nice to see C. Thomas Howell back in action and better then ever...he should probably just be in a good movie next time...not even GREAT just GOOD. I don't hold any bias against this film for being low budget, I do not judge on that, in fact horror films that are low budget generally appeal to me more. "F"

Saw Nursie at the strand theater. The poster said it won the Best Horror award at the NOME film festival and i can see why. It's wild. Don't know why others compare it to misery. It's not like King invented the hostage premise. This is what indie filmmaking is all about. Unpredictable, scary, but sometimes it cracked me up too. You never knew what was coming. A real 'kick'.

Incredible camera work and direction. It's worth seeing just for the camera tricks. I still can't figure out how they did some of that stuff and I've been in the industry for 22 years. C. Thomas Howell is back... with a vengeance.
