BA_Harrison I've been known to enjoy awful films, but even I have my limits: Maniac Nurses Find Ecstasy (released by Lloyd Kaufman's Troma studio, home of many a z-grade crap-fest), is a heavily cut, re-edited and dubbed Belgian porno flick that is so atrocious that even copious amounts of nudity from a bevy of beautiful, lingerie-clad women and the occasional bit of bargain-basement gore cannot stop it from ranking as one of the worst films I have seen.Once they had finished hacking the XXX action from their original acquisition, the guys at Troma obviously realised that the collection of disparate scenes they were left with didn't make an awful lot of sense. Rather than cutting their losses and binning the mess, they improvised, adding a narration track that appears to have been conceived on the fly (the story about a private clinic run by sadistic women is utter garbage), and using some stock footage to pad out the running time.When I watch a film featuring exploding heads, severed feet, a man impaled on a gnome, a self-flagellating monk ridden like a horse by a hot brunette, machine gun-toting babes in suspenders, a baby born with an Elvis tattoo (!), and a scorching blonde sadist who likes violent comic books (that look like like they've been drawn by a ten-year-old) AND I'm still struggling to stay awake, then I know I've discovered a genuine stinker.

Soucriant I caught "Maniac Nurses Find Ecstasy" on the Horror Channel a couple of weeks back. Now i've seen my fair share of bad movies in my time, some fall into the "so bad it's good" category. "Maniac Nurses" however, falls into the "bad bad bad" category. And somehow manages to scrape inside the barrel, the outside and under it.I have to be honest, i didn't really know what was going on. The director and the characters make virtually no attempt to explain anything. But from what i could gather; Isla, her daughter Sabrina, their accomplice Greta and two other "nurses" reside at a clinic in a forest. Because clinics are often situated in forests as we know. When not indulging in lesbian activities, the nurses walk around in little clothing and "torture" males who manage to find the clinic.These "torture" scenes, are extremely unconvincing and laughable. As is the gore, acting, camera work and storyline. But make no mistake. By laughable, i don't mean in a; "Oh, that's funny" way. More of a; "Oh my God. How could something so terrible be released?!" way.The only thing in "Maniac Nurses" that can possibly be considered arousing, is the nurses who aren't bad looking, and the various outfits they sport during the film. That is the only halfway decent thing about this film. Bar a semi-amusing scene where a guy gets whipped by the nurses, while wearing the most bored expression ever, and making shallow sighs. But even this managed to become monotonous as the camera focused on his face the whole time, and the whip-athon went on for a lot longer than was necessary.I really can't think what anyone would get from this abomination. Except a possible few laughs, confusion and boredom. There isn't anything that i think would keep slasher/sleaze/porn fans occupied, save the nurses. But believe me, if you want to see some nurses, just take a trip to your local clinic. It will be a lot less painful than watching "Maniac Nurses."

Coventry People familiar with the Troma-repertoire know they should never except masterpieces (or even "good" films), yet this piece of junk is worse than all their other incompetent productions put together! "Maniac Nurses (find ecstasy)" is an unendurably sick fantasy that obviously sprung from the perverted mind of some untalented weirdoes and Troma decided to distribute it as a horror/exploitation film. The initial ineptness-chuckles this movie cause quickly turn into tedious obstacles and, eventually, you have to struggle very hard in order not to throw the DVD far out the window. The...um... 'story' revolves on a group of deranged women who entrench themselves in some sort of heavily guarded private-hospital (God knows why). They fill their days by whipping each other, walk around in sexy lingerie and – occasionally – they play sleazy variants of the "most dangerous game" with unfortunate campers. The things that went horribly wrong in this production are too numerous to mention, and I guarantee that you'll never ever come across a movie more retarded than this one.MST3K-fans would orgasm over watching this flick: the narration is hilarious (seriously, what the hell is this guy talking about all the time?), the editing is a joke and the dialogues sound like they were written by an army of illiterate monkeys. The only aspect mildly admirable about it is that the creators obviously knew their sleaze-classics. The über-nurses are named Ilsa and Greta (after the infamous 70's exploitation franchise) and there sometimes are (unintentional?) references towards classic WIP-movies. "Maniac Nurses" also contains loads of graphic gore and tons of blood and I'm sure that, if it would have been filmed more professionally, it could had become one of the grossest and most offensive films ever. Instead of this, it only looks ludicrous and pathetic. It has to be said, though: the girls all have pretty faces and ravishing bodies. They probably all secretly hoped that this production would be their spring-board to ultimate Hollywood success. Awfully sorry girls...you're not even talented enough to make it in the porn business.However, one element of "Maniac Nurses" is downright brilliant and I can't resist mentioning it (spoiler): at a certain point in the film, they refer to a child supposedly born with an Elvis-tattoo on its little chest! Priceless!!

anthonycwhittle The full title for this film is Maniac Nurses Find Ecstasy and yes do they ever. This film actually started out as a porn flick back in 1990 and now we have only other pantomimed versions available. Although not as graphic as other reviewers have mentioned but none the less quite gory. Not a bad film overall but I would reccommend to watch Bloodsucking Freaks instead. Oh did I forgot to mention that this is the sequel to Bloodsucking Freaks. Check it out.
