The Night Nurse

About This Movie

So, 'The Night Nurse' is a bit of a twisted take on the typical nursing home setting. You have this wheelchair-bound character, Tallulah, who brings a real sense of vulnerability to the film. The atmosphere is dark and claustrophobic, really leaning into that feeling of isolation that mirrors her own situation. The pacing? It builds tension slowly, which feels intentional, allowing us to dwell in Tallulah's fears before the vampire nurse shows up, and when she does, it’s a mix of unsettling and gruesome, with some solid practical effects that stand out in modern horror. The whole idea of preying on the elderly is just chilling, and the performances really help sell the dread. It's a unique spin on the vampire genre, for sure.
