81. Nurse (2013)

February 8, 2014

The only thing I really knew about Nurse before I started watching it was that the lead actress, Paz de la Huerta, really annoys me. She had a short run on Boardwalk Empire as Steve Buscemi's mistress, and her voice almost made me stop watching the show. She was absolutely no less annoying in Nurse. She spoke with a slow, stupid voice that sounded like she was constantly on drugs. Despite that major hangup, I actually really liked Nurse. It was an over-the-top, modern grindhouse film with plenty of blood and nudity. When newcomer nurse Katrina Bowden (Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil) starts to feel like she is not cut out for being a nurse, de la Huerta takes her under her wing and tries to be her mentor. Bowden is a normal person, though, and she can see how crazy de la Huerta really is. Feeling rejected, de la Huerta starts spreading lies about Bowden and making her look like the crazy one, until a violent bloodbath at the end that made the movie pretty awesome. It was worth watching if you can get past that awful voice.
