anxietyresister 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

alicespiral The horror movie that keeps you in suspense is the horror movie that's worth watching and watching again as this ones a keeper. Its the usual theme of Control in this case the owner of the retirement home which just happens to be where a real doctor finds himself being taken after an accident.When he mentions the word Social Services to the owner because he thinks some of the rules are being bent then that's enough to keep him there as a prisoner. The idea really of keeping him there is so he can sign death certificates etc to make the goings on there seem normal-and there's plenty of deaths once the patients have been robbed of everything. Its not unlike real life-today there's plenty of abuse in retirement homes

slc-6 I saw Nursie at the premier in Shreveport. It is a movie that keeps you spell bound. It is very exciting and one is holding baited breath waiting for what is coming next. Savannah was the best as Ada in the movie; no one could have been better. Thomas C. Howell (Zack) worked his magic as the captured Doctor. Frieda Jane was great as the abused daughter of Ada. I liked the movie, because of the great directing and all the actorswere great. The music was well done and adds to the script. The picture quality was excellent. A great movie, wonderful actors, directors and writers.

danielle-33 Wow. I just finished screening the film and I really can't believe some of the things I just saw. Whoever wrote this film must have a really warped mind because the subject matter is just so perverse. Stephen King look out because here comes Maxine Jordan!!!
