It is ridiculously lurid trash from start to finish and anyone trying to argue otherwise is as crazy as its central character. However, while its aim may be low throughout, it at least comes close to consistently hitting its targets. Read full review

Voyeurs, at least, will relish the opportunity to ogle, in 3D no less, the frequently unclothed star as well as the equally gorgeous Bowden, who spends much of the proceedings clad only in sexy underwear. Read full review

Co-writer/director Douglas Aarniokoski has a nasty little neo-noir thriller tucked into Nurse 3D, but he buries it in his all-chocolate-all-the-time conceptual sloppiness. Read full review

Nurse 3D isn’t nearly as fun as a movie about a homicidal, sex-obsessed, clothing-averse health care provider ought to be. Read full review

Co-writer and director David Aarniokoski's clunky, crude blotch of prurience and bloodletting is too self-satisfied with its wink-wink naughtiness to be either fun-dumb or scary-sexy. Read full review

Rather than capture truly pained souls tangled in exuberant horror tropes, the filmmakers settle for retrograde anguish and warmed-over artistry. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. liked this one much more than I thought I would. Why would I watch it if I didn't think id like it so much? I always feel compelled to watch any new horror movie with any degree of hype. This one received a lot of attention leading up to its release and initial reviews were mixed. I thought they did a great job. The sexy nurse character has been referenced in film for ever and its surprising that it took until 2014 for a movie based on the character to surface and I think they did a great job. I believe they have created a character who could one day join the ranks of other horror icons. Paz de la Huerta is a different kind of actress and it takes a minute to get used to her style but after you do it makes her that more memorable. Its cool that she was in the movie Enter The Void which was one of the weirdest trips ive ever seen. She is obviously comfortable with nudity and the movie is sexy to the point of exploitation. They don't just settle for exploitation though (which would have been fine), instead they decide to make a pretty straight faced plot that has a few plot twists and a structure that has more depth than other movies of this type normally have. It seems very well written and has the cast to pull it off. Finally there is also a high gore factor which for me earns it mega bonus points and Huerta's nurse character is crazy as hell. I wouldn't be surprised if they find a way to make a sequel and turn this into a franchise. Nurse 3d hits on all marks and is hopefully the start to a welcomed addition to the horror genre!… Expand

It's the most ridiculous, trashy, suspenseful, sexy, horrific modern grindhouse film that's been made in possibly the last 30 years aside from grindhouse of course. It centers around a young, psychotic woman whose punishing bad men through her skills as a nurse. She sets her sight on a new nurse at the hospital where she works and becomes a bit obsessed. It all leads up to a magnificent splatterfest at their job. The movie is smart in the sense of knowing what it is and completely delivering. Paz Vega is just perfect in the lead she's so weird and it just works. Kathleen Turner, Niecy Nash, Corbin Bleu, Katrina Bowden, Judd Nelson and Boris Kodjoe also star. Sadly the movie never got the theatrical release it deserved. It's still criminally underseen and deserves a cult following so if you haven't seen it and high gloss, gory, elevated camp appeals to you, rectify that asap.

The air and breath in which Huerta moves within as this complicated character is at times a disconnect between her portrayal and the believability of the character. Yet Huerta seems so committed to the character that she manages to draw you into the story. Her infatuation with fellow nurse Danni, played by Bowden is instantaneous so you become thrust into this twisted tangle of love, affection, and destruction right from the get-go. All provided through the viewpoint of nurse Abby Russell. The way "Nurse 3D" flows has that weird, casual anti-heroine feel that "Barbwire" presented. A very Euro feel at times seeming to be influenced by modern giallo and French noir. The actors prove their commitment to the characters but at times the emotional connection flat- lines in the film. There is an overture of camp in the film but more mature and indirect than most films in this same subgenre.

Everything about "Nurse 3D" moves to an odd beat but it shows a fun, comfortable and fully committed direction to entertain and push sexploitation. An aspect of horror that even today seems to be shunned by mainstream cinema. Kudos to the team behind this film for moving forward in sketchy territory. This isn't a film for every horror fan because the camp is just atmospheric and never direct or the focal point. The fetish enticement is strong and at times presents almost unrealistic situations but even those moments are somewhat entertaining. I enjoyed "Nurse 3D" for the unusual approach the director took, the cinematography is beautiful and the body count is noteworthy. Plus the nudity is a fun visual companion to the hot, character's situational drama. Much like "Barbwire" and even Aarniokoski's television work, "Nurse 3D" is obvious in what it offers, (in this case it is fetish-sex- death-obsession), with talented, off-beat vision that is creative and entertaining without demanding the audience to be affected by traditional pomp and circumstance. At first I felt that I wasn't going to be able to get into the film but by the middle of the film I was invested and pleased with "Nurse 3D". It has a large cult status awaiting it in it's future.… Expand

Nurse 3D λοιπόν ή αλλιώς του μουνιού το πανηγύρι! Νομίζω ότι αυτή είναι η κατάλληλη πρόταση για να χαρακτηρίσει κάποιος την αποθεωτική στάση του σκηνοθέτη Douglas Aarniokoski(The Day) στο σεξαπίλ των πρωταγωνιστριών του Paz de la Huerta και Katrina Bowden. Η μεν Paz de la Huerta καθ' όλη τη διάρκεια της ταινίας παρουσιάζεται είτε γυμνή είτε ημίγυμνη ενώ η Katrina Bowden μας προσφέρει δύο με τρεις πολύ καλές γυμνές εμφανίσεις. Όσοι καταφέρουν και ξεκολλήσουν το μυαλό τους από την ομολογουμένως υπερβολική δόση γυμνού θα παρακολουθήσουν μία ταινία με δανεισμένες horror ιδέες από άλλα φιλμ που στο σύνολο τους μας γνωρίζουν έναν πρωτοεμφανιζόμενο serial killer που ίσως μας απασχολήσει ξανά και στο μέλλον. Η Paz de la Huerta στο ρόλο της ψυχωτικής νοσοκόμας δεν τα πάει άσχημα ενώ η Katrina Bowden στο ρόλο του θύματος ομολογώ ότι λίγο με απογοήτευσε καθώς την περίμενα πιο πειστική.… Expand

The movie actually started out really good for me, it has a kinda cheap&trashy feel but it worked for most of the time. But as many bad movies do, it really messed up the ending.

I'm only angry, because this movie would have been so much better with a properly tied up ending, it's just a huge wasted potential now.… Expand

This movie was possibly the worst I've ever seen. I could only finish it out of spite. The main actress is on par with Tommy Wiseau. So much of the plot relied on no one existing except for those on screen and some of the worst logic.
