Nurse 3-D

Plot synopsis:
The film opens with Abby Russell at a night club where she explains to the audience via a narration that her "job" is to murder cheating men in order to "keep scum off of the streets"- a job that she thoroughly enjoys. She then murders a man by slicing through his femoral artery and then throwing him off the roof of the club.The following day Abby attends a ceremony where she watches Danni Rodgers, a nurse she had been mentoring, graduate. She then approaches her and meets Danni's mother and stepfather Larry Cook. Despite this joyful moment and all of her preparation, Danni is ill prepared for her first true day of nursing duty and is berated by Dr. Morris for her inability to respond quickly to an emergency situation. Abby views the situation with disgust, as she knows that Dr. Morris is a sadist that enjoys harassing new nurses.Abby is further irritated when Danni chooses to call her paramedic boyfriend Steve for support rather than approaching Abby herself. She's pleased when Danni's call to Steve ends badly due to a fight the couple had had previously that night over Danni's refusal to move in with him. She explains her actions to Abby by saying that she is unwilling to trust her stepfather enough to leave him alone with her mother. This distrust is later justified when Abby and Danni witness her stepfather having an affair while the two women are on their way to go drinking at a nightclub. Danni is upset at the encounter, which makes her more willing to drink later that night. However unbeknownst to her Abby spikes her drink with drugs, which enables Abby to get Danni to have sex with both her and random strangers.The next day Danni wakes to find herself in Abby's apartment and leaves despite Abby's entreaties for Danni to skip work and spend the day with her. After she leaves, Abby downloads several photos that she had taken from the previous night before leaving to see a psychiatrist, which is revealed to be Larry.Abby seduces Larry by saying that she's addicted to men, alluding to her past history with her father. He gives her his phone number to contact him anytime she wishes, which seems to confirm Abby's suspicions that Larry is a cheater. She later approaches him while he's leaving his office and convinces him to give her a ride, which enables her to murder him by paralyzing him in his car with vecuronium bromide and putting it in reverse, which causes him to get into a car accident.After hearing of her stepfather's death Danni seeks solace from Abby, only for Abby to grow angry when Danni says that she's going to move in with her boyfriend. Abby comments that she hopes that Larry's genitals were cut off in the car crash, only for Danni to reveal that she had never told Abby how her stepfather had died and quickly leave. This infuriates Abby, who decides that instead of seeking to help Danni, she will now hurt her. She accomplishes this by slowly convincing Detective John Rogan that Danni is mentally unstable and obsessed with Abby.The next day, Abby runs into Rachel Owens, a cheerful new human resources employee that remarks that Abby greatly resembles a girl she knew that was sent to a mental institution. Abby invites Rachel out for drinks and takes the opportunity to harass Danni by calling her via Skype and showing Danni a video of Abby injecting chemicals into Rachel. Danni tries to go to the police, only for Detective Rogan to dismiss her claims as evidence of her trying to hurt Abby because the other woman didn't return her affections. He uses the photographs Abby took as proof to this effect, which Steve sees as a result of Danni calling him to the police station for support. This prompts an argument between the two and Steve leaves in a fit of anger. Danni tries to approach Dr. Morris for help, only for him to use this as an opportunity to blackmail Abby into having sex with him. Abby initially pretends to agree to this arrangement but soon shows that it was only a way for her to get him alone so she could dismember and murder him. That same night Abby also knocks out Rachel and drags her away to her death.Meanwhile, Danni goes to the mental institution that Rachel had referred to, seeking answers about what is going on. There, she learns about Sarah Price, a little girl who killed her father after witnessing him not only having an affair but also severely beating her mother for coming to his office unannounced. Danni also discovers that Sarah was taken in by one of the nurses at the institution, a woman named Abigail Russell. Danni then realizes that that Abby is Sarah and has since taken the name of her caretaker. Danni then tries to call Rachel to warn her about Abby, only to find that Rachel's phone is in her car. She then receives a call from Abby, who implies that she will kill Steve in the same manner as Rachel.Danni rushes to the hospital, where she and Abby begin to get into a violent fistfight. The staff initially tries to intervene, only for Abby to set off on a killing spree and lock herself into a lab. Danni and Steve finally manage to get inside, only for Abby (who had hidden in one of the patients' beds) to stab Steve in the neck and run off.Abby rushes home to grab some essentials but is confronted by Detective Rogan, who tries to arrest her. Noticing that her neighbor Jared is viewing the situation, Abby pretends that Rogan is trying to rob her. Her neighbor then comes outside and hits the detective over the head with a bat, killing him instantly. Her neighbor is horrified to discover that Rogan is a cop, but Abby convinces him to hide the body, saying that Rogan was corrupt and that Jared would be treated badly since he is now a cop killer.In the final scene, Abby is shown to have assumed a new identity at another hospital... that of human resources employee Rachel Owens.

Review:
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.
the premise is simple enough: Abby (Paz De la Huerta) is a nurse by day and a seductive killer by night, targeting unfaithful men.
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.
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.
Paz De La Huerta plays Abby Russell a nurse by day and man killer by night literally.
We were laughing and howling at the screen many times.The film is sharp looking and filmed very well, as far as 3D goes, some of the CGI could have been a bit better but the in your face effects sprinkled in the film do their part mainly when it comes to the gore.I've read many reviews from those that didn't like the film and thought Paz De La Huerta's acting left a lot to be desired.
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 anywayAbby 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.
It has lots of shots of Paz looking sexy in an inappropriately short nurse's outfit and shoes that flout all health and safety recommendations but it's the sass and humour of this film that make it stand out.
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.
Controversy about Nurse 3D and I get the point why so many people hate this movie but me as an exploitation geek and horror geek looked behind it all and only then you can enjoy this voyeuristic 3D flick.
It's not going to win prices but the acting was rather good, it's just a no-brainer to watch while necking some brewskies and a packet of crisps and if you can't get enough of Paz De La Huerta must pick up Enter The Void (2009) where she has the main lead and was controversial due the almost explicit sex scene's, directed by Gaspar Noe famous of Irreversible (2002).Gore 1/5 Nudity 2/5 Effects 3/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 0/5.
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.
I found the movie to be a pretty fun guilty pleasure; it just needed a better heroine.The film revolves around Abby Russell (Huerta), a nurse who thinks it's her duty to rid the world of cheating men.
At the same time Danni slowly learns what Abby does at night.As just a trashy B horror flick this movie is about as good as it gets; it's gory and full of explicit sex and nudity (mostly featuring Huerta).
We learn that Abby has an even darker past and Danni learns it too.Nurse 3D offers something different among horror movies.
You do care both about Abby and Danni, played by the lovely Katrina Bowden and in a way you don't want to movie to take the turn it does.
If Huerta and Bowden weren't lovely enough we also get an adorable performance by the cute Melanie Scrofano.Nurse 3D offers everything you want to see in a horror movie..
For anyone who likes their movies excessively trashy, this slick and frequently sick offering will more than likely fit the bill.De La Huerta plays sexy, psychotic, bisexual nurse Abby Russell, who helps save lives during the day, but takes them in her spare time, using her sex appeal to lure adulterous men to their deaths.
When Danni spurns Abby's sexual advances (after having already been tricked into bed by the manipulative bitch), and begins to suspect the nutty nurse of murdering her stepfather, things go from bad to worse, Abby going on a frenzied killing spree in the hospitalDirected by Douglas Aarniokoski, frequent assistant director to Robert Rodriguez, Nurse 3-D is unpretentious, gory, and very sexy silliness with a deliciously dark streak of humour running throughout.
When I saw the trailer for this I could tell it was going to be s**t don't get me wrong but I was hoping for sort of campy fun but I found I spent much of my time thinking dear oh f***king dear.I feel they had a quite fun idea here but just couldn't pull it together,like others have commented the acting was just garbage especially from the lead actress who bless her looked like a man in drag from certain angles and that all I kept thinking and of course how terrible her acting was,and why the whole I'm wearing a bra and no knickers thing?!
Not so much when you look at the quality of cinematography, editing, stuff like that, but mostly because of the plot, the writing and the acting, which was weirdly porn-y and just uncomfortable, especially when it comes to Paz de la Huerta, who played the nurse Abby Russell.
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.
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.
The film desperately wants to be an Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS, but never takes the risks to go there.Nurse 3D is a pass for horror fans and even those who just want to see some naked women should stick with Paz in her other work, like Boardwalk Empire.
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....
2.Playing the role too Hammy, the dialogue sounded like she was either drunk or bored.The final act of the movie seemed rushed and botched, the HR Lady what happened to her ?The Shower scene as mentioned in the Boards, why are they still wearing their under garments, if there is a no Nudity clause then don't film the scene at all.Shame really good concept poorly executed..
"Nurse" lures in the audience with a synopsis stating "By day, Abby Russell is a dedicated nurse, but by night, she lures cheating men to their brutal deaths and exposes them for who they really are." And while that does sound interesting and for a movie that could have some kind of twisted appeal, then "Nurse" failed to deliver on most aspects.First of all, the casting of Paz de la Huerta as Abby was so off the target.
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 oldI 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.
The only unbelievable thing in the whole movie is that the main victim is worried about her boyfriend seeing pictures of her having sex with the other hot nurse she works with,(like that would be a bad thing) If you're a real horror fan you cant go wrong here..
Reminiscent of American Psycho and what could have been a more fitting sequel than American Psycho 2 it's well shot by director Doug Aarniokoski with wit and campy coolness as Abby (Paz de la Huerta) murders cheating men and obsesses over co-worker Danni played with finesse by Katrina Bowden.
The effects are great, there's a high body count and plenty of gruesome fun to enjoy.Yes there's naked flesh on display but this should not to be labelled as a gratuitous lurid exploitation flick and although the title is somewhat misleading, Nurse is ridiculously compulsive, horrific and sexy from start to finish with a memorable crazy central character played excellently.
The vision that director Douglas Aarniokoski showed in his previous film, The Day, is completely absent here.The movie is primarily hampered by a lifeless and detached performance from Paz de la Huerta as Nurse Abby, who approaches her character like she was high on pills.
It is awful and absolutely no substance to the story, through out the whole movie i was wondering why Katrina Bowden wasn't cast as the main character, Paz De la Huerta acting is not your calling my dear.
There is the requisite cop who suspects the wrong person, the boyfriend of Danni who will turn 360 degrees in opinions towards the chaos occurring around them, and there is a doctor (Judd Nelson) whose only purpose seems to be to allow Abby to up her body count.Yet, for reasons that I cannot quite put to words, Nurse 3D was a watchable horror film that goes through the motions but does so with a style and pace that keeps things moving along even if this is a path that we have taken many times before in better films.
"Nobody will ever understand you like I do." Abby Russell (de la Huerta) is one of the best nurses in her hospital.
Nurse (2013)* 1/2 (out of 4)Nurse Abby Russell (Paz de la Huerta) loves her job taking care of the sick and helpless but at night she likes to lure married men into her deadly trap.
Well, to be honest, the film actually plays very much like a grindhouse film from the 70s because this here is pretty bad, has a very thin plot and makes up for that by offering up a lot of nudity and gore.
You know what guys this film does not deserve the hate its getting its actually quite hilarious its a mixture of horror,soft core & comedy on top of that it takes it self so serious we all remember dexter TV series i have collected all seasons of that show its awesome this film is just like that where its a female protagonist kills men who cheat & commit adultery specially the climax will remind of the show this nurse should marry Dexter Morgan they would make a great couple & fantastic team.The Plot:Abby Russel is a nurse who works at a hospital in new york but she is also a seductive assassin who kills men that cheats on their wives girlfriends or do bad things.The Cast:almost everyone did a good job but this film is about Paz De La Huerta she gave her best many people hate this actress but she gets bad scripts this is the reason shes not more famous the lady got the looks and has a very underrated personality.The acting in this film is weird the lead actress Paz speaks in a funny & sarcastic manner the story is weird and the surprise is that the villain wins in the movie.I don't know about the 3D version of the film its not needed a regular version is just fine to see it is what it is i enjoyed this film with no expectations and it worked the movie holds enough humor & gore till the end to keep you glued to the screen.Overall Nurse 3-D 2013 is a good fun film if you like sexy women do try this one you will not be disappointed just beware of the critics they lie.My Rating is 7/10:Recommended..
But mainly it was Paz de la Huerta who was the baddest nurse I've seen in a horror movie.
You can that the film has gone for the feel of eighties exploitation movies like Angel, Savage Streets, and Ms. 45, but whereas those films had a shocking, almost unwatchable narrative in places, this thinks that the added dimension and extra gore will make up for its shortcomings..........it only enhances them.So by day, the titular character stalks her work colleagues,who wear the most ridiculous nurses uniforms I've ever seen, and by night, goes out of her way to right the wrongs of adulterous men.It's terrible in every sense, acting is woeful, Nelson, Donovan, and Turner should be ashamed of themselves, and it's truly offensive to almost every culture, sexuality, or anything with a beating heart to be honest.Terrible, offensive poison..
Seen this movie in 2013 and it is good I'm writing about it in 2015 because strong female leads are the thing now and there popping up so much it's gonna get to the point that it becomes annoying.But thats the Hollywood formula I guess and sadly for me the reason to skip a lot of blockbusters and hope that originality will be maintained by in depended movie makers still getting funding to do their thing.Almost felt like this movie was made for me and I loved every little cliché it broke.The actress may not be the prettiest out there but by the way she uses seduction becomes very desirable non the less.The way people rated this was extreme on both sides,so either very positive or very negative but it makes me wander if the negative reviews would change because of the situation we find ourselves now in(with strong female leads flooding the box-office)Some guy here stated that it would be different if you switched the story to a male lead but in all honesty (and thats my theory)a girl can seduce a guy easily, while it is way more difficult for a guy to seduce a girl.Even more honest I over rated this because I really feel the rating is way to low and should be at least a six for the production value alone.I think the biggest flaw for this is that they made it 3-D while there really ain't a need for that and it was not a movie for that format.The director was good on this because he let "Paz"shine and in another movie she played in(I forgot which one) she was just awful.Truthfully this was an 8 for me and I hope more people will see it after reading this review.I recommend it to any one who wants to see a different but ultimately great horror movie.Added bonus was to see Judd Nelson in a good role again.Enjoy the "bleep"out of this..
On the one end, Paz De la Huerta does have talent, but you wouldn't be able to tell from her acting in this movie, which is one note in every scene.
She looks about the same in almost every scene, like she has anger issues and she is just waiting for that one person to set her off - and even then, its not impressive.The plot and story line are pretty good, and the other actors show more range of emotion than Paz does throughout the entire film.
For it being a horror movie, it felt more like watching soft core porn most of the time.
