Nurse 3D is one of the few true, straight up, modern exploitation flicks I've seen. I know the remake of I Spit on your Grave and Machete are around but the first of those is a truly unsettling film (more like torture porn) which I couldn't actually see through to the end, and the second felt more like a horror comedy than exploitation to me. Death Proof is probably the only other one that jumps to mind, but again, its too Tarantino-esque to compare to the 60's, 70's and 80's style of these films that were prevalent.
Nurse 3D is a true modern take on the genre. It is there for clear and explicit reasons and is destined to be enjoyed by a very specific target audience, and it does it well enough to recommend to people in that target domain. I guess I'm more the target audience for something like this than most with my enjoyment of horror flicks, but instead of my usual openly biased reviews I thought I would take a step out and try to review it as someone who just watched it for what it is.
Paz De La Heurta is pretty much the perfect leading lady for this type of film. She is buxom, happy to be naked, and convinces as a twisted psychopath. The good news is she has enough charisma that you can buy in to her crazy antics and is able to carry the film from beginning to end, something these films often lack. The movie definitely allows her to be the primarily exploited female character for the male audience, however, because she is also the protagonist (anti-protagonist?) its a bit different from most other exploitation flicks. Instead of having mean, scary men do horrifying things to women it is instead a naked, murdering, crazed sex fiend of a nurse doing horrible things to men.
In addition to doing these horrible things to men, she is also completely in love with and trying to seduce the token blonde hot girl. The lengths to which the main character goes to, to seduce and then destroy token hot girl is as to be expected, and nothing unusual for this type of movie. The gore is unfortunately a bit amateurish looking and over the top, with the scenes composed in odd ways, so they don't hold as much impact as they would if directed by another person.
Overall this is not a good film that just anyone should go out and see, but for what it is, it does it well and has enough of a difference to be worth checking out if you are into the genre. If the idea of a promiscuous, murderous Paz De La Heurta, killing men while wearing a bra but no knickers, seducing a woman and parading around in a nurses outfit appeals to you, then you will enjoy the movie for what it is. If you cant believe a movie like that exists ... don't watch it.
SCORE: 4/10
