"Maniac nurses...find ecstasy!"
18 May 2015
"Maniac Nurses" is really a fever dream rather than a movie. It's one of those flicks you just have no control over, you have no idea what's going on and every new scene just makes you more confused and frustrated. Whatever plot they have is clearly ad-libbed by the annoying narrator, who tries to make scenes of bored women sitting on couches deeply philosophical. He has uhm, mixed success. Without the narrator this movie would be a lot more fascinating, because he's the only voice that seems to be coming from this planet. Once he shuts up for two seconds the movie almost becomes a pleasant hallucination. The cinematography is butt-ugly, the colors are all washed out, the production values aren't even good enough for 70s porn, none of the actors has a single other credit: it's exploitation at its trippiest, it meanders from random death to random death with no idea what a beginning, middle or end looks like. To beef up the running time every scene goes on about ten times longer than it needs to, but this movie is so slow, tedious and repetitive than it's almost hypnotic. So what I am to do, recommend it? I can't, I hated this movie. And perhaps I'll hate it again when I rewatch it. "Maniac Nurses" has a bizarre effect on me.
