For quite a while now I have looked out for a copy of "Nursie" on DVD as I had heard quite a few good things about it. Well I finally found it, and no less on sale for 10 dollars, unfortunately 10 dollars still is a lot for a film like "Nursie". The back promises the film will be in the same vain as "Misery", well yeah, I guess you could say its like "Misery" except more awful. It's bland, tedious, and very difficult to finish this movie. The simplistic plot goes like this -"a man and his girlfriend go driving down to visit a friend on the brink of a hurricane, they get ran off the road, and the guy ends up trapped with a psycho lady...oh yeah and here's the spoiler***** after repeatedly almost escaping, then getting recaptured and then getting drugged, he eventually escapes. OH WOW. And by the way he almost escapes like three hundred times and gets caught in another predictable, lazy fashion. The script is lazy, the directing is extremely amateurish (he constantly tilts the camera because that obviously means that this is indeed a "horror/suspense" film). Everything about this film is bland, predictable and sluggish. It's simply not enjoyable. One good thing to say is the acting isn't half bad, aside from the pure crap dialogue the actors had to spew out they did quite well, nice to see C. Thomas Howell back in action and better then ever...he should probably just be in a good movie next time...not even GREAT just GOOD. I don't hold any bias against this film for being low budget, I do not judge on that, in fact horror films that are low budget generally appeal to me more. "F"
