OH GAAAWD, I NEED A DOCTOR. Seriously. My head needs to be examined because I still can't believe how the HELL did I let myself get talked into watching "Sick Nurses" (or "Suay Lak Sai" in Thai).
The movie itself opened last month, but judging by the trashy trailer, I decided to give it a miss. But when a friend bought the DVD and invited me to watch, I thought "hey why not at least it's FREE".
It turned out to be a FREE MASSACRE of my brain cells.
The story is: six curvaceous nurses (wearing impossibly sexy costumes out of porn movies - costumes real nurses wouldn't be caught DEAD in - no pun intended) were one by one killed in very "creative" ways by a vengeful spirit.
If that hasn't made you scratch your head yet, wait, there's more...
- These va-va-voom nurses were working in a creepy, deserted hospital.
- All nurses had serious personal obsessions that led directly to their deaths.
- The hospital actually sold dead bodies and human organs.
- The head doctor of the hospital turned out to be a sadistic, misanthropic GAY man.
Now, don't get me wrong. Some horror films are SO bad, SO violent and SO gross that they're actually funny (like "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre") - it's like, they're SO bad that they're good.
BUT unfortunately, "Sick Nurses" is just bad, violent and gross - and sooooo... NOT in a good way.
Just look at the movie's catchphrase -
** Don't miss their sexy deaths! **
(Aaaaarrgghh... makes me wanna commit 'seppuku' with a fork). This movie will rub so many people the wrong way because:
- the nurses were nothing more than just vain, hateful (and yes, sexy) characters waiting to be slaughtered in outrageous ways
- the extreme violence doesn't have a POINT except just to shock people (one nurse who was obsessed with designer bags got her head sewed into a bag)
- the MAIN bad character (the brain! the real source of this messy bloodbath!) turned out to be a GAY man (how homophobic can you get?)
If it weren't for free, I woulda asked for my money back.
In short, "Sick Nurses" is JUST PLAIN SICK.
