Sick Nurses is a story about a neglected hospital and 7 young nurses and a doctor who work there. It turns out the nurses and doctor are selling body parts of their dead patients on the black market. Soon one of the nurses threatens to blow the whistle and ends up murdered. The ghost of the woman then comes back and uses the nurses and doctors obsessions and fears to murder them with to exact revenge. The ghost is also forcing them to kill eachother to get revenge for her murder. The ghost can cause hallucinations, also manipulate their will.

What I really loved about this movie is the way it was directed. The use of colors is exquisite. The way a bar bell floats in the air, the way the fan winds blow, the way the rain drips on the windows, and the way a clock pours blood will strike you as something new. Very creative, It is beautifully directed.

This received lower ratings on some websites, Why? I don't know. It's a lot better than most of the Asian horror movies out today.

There were some very strange killings in this. Very inventive and unlike anything you most likely have ever seen.

Would I call it scary? Not really. Would I call it unique? Yes. It's a unique ghost story with inventive killings and haunts. Entertaining, Good looking actors, Great Use of Colors and a spooky yet slightly disturbing ghost story. Recommended.

This was a decent Thai horror flick, I'll be honest I haven't been really that impressed with any of the latest Thai horror films that I've seen in the past mainly because they were usually quite bad or because they just couldn't manage to create the bleak and dark atmosphere of dread that's prevalent in Japanese and Korean horror films, and they usually end up having hackneyed plots or pointless meanderings. This film actually wasn't that bad and it had a decent budget, and not to mention it has plenty of hot babes in tight nurse uniforms and the gore scenes were great but I felt like the plot wasn't going anywhere and it seemed abit too predictable. The film was set in a strange hospital that doesn't seem to specialize in patients, where a group of young (and hot!) nurses who along with a young doctor they all lust for, have been selling organs from the recently dead for fun and profit. One of the nurses is going to marry the doctor but when she finds out that he's having an affair with her sister, all hell breaks loose and the nurse ends up getting killed by her colleagues. It's ten minutes to midnight and all the nurses are getting ready to go home. But the vengeful spirit of the dead nurse has other plans. Yeah the film has alot of cliches and the acting was pretty bad but it was still halfway decent and it did provide some nice eye candy, one scene where one of the nurses gets strangled by long pieces of hair was ripped off from Exte which in my opinion was a better Asian horror flick than this. There were some nice gore scenes including a decapitation by handbag? and one of the twins forced to hack up her sister in a bath tub (nice!) and another scene where a bulimic nurse is forced to eat broken pieces of glass which results in the removal of her lower jaw with her tongue wagging before falling out, and eaten by a cat in the room(..followed by a flying dead fetus hurling into her mouth!). The film might have lots of blood and gore but it still felt like there was something missing. I don't know, I still thought it was average but I guess that some parts were enjoyable to a certain level, watch it for the blood and guts and attractive Asian women but don't bother finding a good storyline.

I so rarely give one or five stars, but this movie really earned it. I struggled to finish it. The plot is reasonable enough. A nurse is murdered by a doctor and other nurses after threatening to reveal they were selling body parts from the deceased. When her own body parts are not claimed, she begins exacting revenge from those who killed her. Unfortunately, the tale is poorly executed, rambling from one unconnected scene to the next, with several hauntings leaving you to believe a nurse is dead, when her final moments are actually shown a half hour later. There are a few gory moments, but they often lack context or appear hurried. There is a feeling that the movie is a collection of random scenes, edited later to fit the plot. The cast of Asian nurses is an attractive one, but they present themselves like eye candy in a campy low budget American flick. The ghost, if you will, reminds one of the standard creepy Asian girl, with dark hair partially covering one eye, moving creepily. Unfortunately, this one is covered with dark grease paint, and has a habit of posing like a soap opera star waiting for the cheating boyfriend. This is particularly interesting because the ghost in the early part of the film is more vague and indistinct than what she becomes later in the second half. Just another example of a film that lacks any real coherence. It's as if it were directed by several different people, or at the very least, a few different personalities. There is a bit of a twist at the end, but it is by no means an adequate payoff for what you must suffer through to get there.

I borrowed this from a friend of mine that loves these types of foreign horror movies. Sick Nurses was okay. It had some decent visuals and a creepy atmosphere and vibrant primary colors during the more "insane" parts of this movie. Some scenes were a little confusing. In a run-down hospital, Dr. Tar is running a scheme to sell dead bodies on the black market. When Tamara finds out, they kill her as well. One week later, all the nurses responsible for her death are being haunted and killed in gruesome ways. If you like foreign horror films, you might like SICK NURSES!!!

This movie was wonderful it delivered exactly what it promises. Honestly if you're looking for a movie with crazy special effects and mainstream story line go to your local theater. Sick nurses was clever violent and frightening, the only downside is that it lacked subtitles and was voiced over, therefore losing the acting talents emphasis and personality but the voice over actors aren't terrible so its really inconsequential.

Somehow, with the title Sick Nurses, you're led to believe that it's some kind of soft-core porn. Even with the cover art, it's still titillating. It's anything but. It is a well-crafted horror movie, with a good bit of humor thrown in. It is the story of several nurses who are all enamored of one doctor (go figure!). He seems to make promises to each and every one. The one nurse he's supposed to be betrothed to is murdered because she caught him with her sister, and threatened to expose their side business of selling dead bodies. The rest of the film encompasses her revenge as she seeks out each and every nurse involved with her death, saving her pregnant sister and ex-fiance for last. The lead-up to the surprise ending is built around flashbacks the doctor indulges in as he continues to contemplate his upcoming nuptials. Just think Crying Game.

I first found this movie while working at a video chain and loved it, and have wanted it for my own ever since. The plot was surprisingly deeper than I'd originally expected, and the twist will make you blink. The nurses are all very pretty, very vain, and each a little disturbed in her own way. The way the victim plays on each of their vanities was clever, if a bit obvious. Plenty of very fake blood and a few scenes that will make the empathetic wince, i.e. twins Orn and Am's mutual hacking and Yim's bloody end in the sample lab. Can be played in Thai or English, with English and Spanish subtitles. Dialogue is credible and easy to follow in either language.

Sick Nurses doesn't look to be accomplishing anything more than producing an eye-catching, bloody, fun bit of horror. The ghost is fairly standard asian fare (except in black face as opposed to the classic white), but the gore and blood get pushed up a notch and the eye candy factor is impressive enough to separate Sick Nurses from the average asian scare. It reminded me of Infection and Autopsy (non-asian) in setting: a fairly abandoned hospital, bereft of any presence other than the half-dozen or so main characters. It's hard to take too seriously or suspend much disbelief, yet the kills are fairly innovative and suitably gruesome in parts, and I was entertained from start to finish. I'll give it 3 1/2 stars.

So I went to the flea market and found this movie on a table with others assorted movies. I though hey for $2 this might be good. Well I'm happy to say it was worth it in a way. It was just your average ghost story. Nurses kill other nurse because she is going to rat them out about the human body smuggling ring, said dead nurse comes back on 7th day to get revenge, hilarity ensues, big plot twist. It just ends up being weird at some points like this one scene with "hair zombies". Yes I said it, hair zombies, and the nurse fights them off with a pregnancy test stick. Oh it's a load of fun. Then comes the plot twist and then the funniest thing I've seen in a horror movie 6 seconds before the credits roll. If you want to see it, get it.

It's got the TnA, the gore and the really weird twist at the end you never see coming, so it gets 3 stars. But in my opinion there are far better movies from Thailand (mainly Shutter and Alone).
