Film Review – Nurse

In the opening five minutes of “Nurse,” a promise is made by director Douglas Aarniokoski (“The Day”) that the next 70 minutes of the feature will be devoted to an atmosphere of sleaziness so thick and colorfully B-movie, it will be impossible to resist. The promise isn’t kept. As mischievous as “Nurse” is, winding through extended displays of nudity and violence, it’s also surprisingly uneventful, only coming alive when it has ghoulish behavior to detail. Actually, for all the ugliness this effort commits to, it’s surprisingly tasteful, electing to mount a tale of obsession over a more enticing plot concerning a gradual psychological unraveling fueling a twisted vision of heroism. “Nurse” is gruesome, but it’s never nasty.
