Featured review
Nursie No-no
In this Misery rip-off, a young doctor involved in an automobile 'accident' somewhere near New Orleans is abducted by a sadistic nurse and her big brute of a son. Nursie runs a home for elderly women, but regularly abuses or even kills them if they step out of line. The poor guy is forced to eat drugged food and injected with syringes while being manacled to his bed. His only chance of escape seems to be through a shy young girl Nursie also keeps prisoner. But can he get the fudge outta there before this psychotic lady fulfils her aim of forced matrimony?
This boils down to one attempted escape after another, all being foiled by Nursie and her muscular goon of a lad, with the occasional death of an OAP and the sexual torture of our protagonist to liven things up. It's all very tongue in cheek and purposefully campy, but this repetitive formula gets real old by the end. I get the feeling this would have worked better as a 25 minute episode of The Twilight Zone than a full length feature film. Besides, if you've seen the aforementioned classic adaptation of Steven King's novel, why bother with this? It's cheap, it's cheesy, but it's not particularly worth your time.. and certainly is nothing compared to the Kathy Bates starrer. Don't bother. 3/10
