Nasty Nurses

About This Movie

Nasty Nurses is quite the oddity from '83, isn’t it? This film dives into a day in the life of a ragtag group of hospital employees in Los Angeles, which is barely hanging on. The atmosphere drips with a mix of sleaze and dark humor, making it a rather unique time capsule. You’ve got that classic low-budget charm with practical effects that are – let’s say – not the most polished, but they add to its gritty aesthetic. The pacing feels a bit uneven, which, honestly, kind of suits the chaotic narrative. Performances are over-the-top in a way that’s entertaining, and the themes of desperation and sexuality really mesh with the impending doom of the hospital's closure. It’s a quirky piece of exploitation cinema for sure.

Nasty Nurses has had limited physical releases, making it somewhat harder to find in good condition. The film's cult status has led to a modest level of interest among collectors, particularly those who appreciate 80s exploitation cinema. Its rarity can vary depending on the format, with VHS copies being a bit more common compared to DVDs or Blu-rays, which are less frequently seen. Overall, it's a curious addition for those keen on obscure titles from the era.
