Review: Sick Nurses (Thailand, 2007)

Sick Nurses (สวยลากไส้) is a Thai Horror film about a rundown, shabby looking hospital in Bangkok. Tahwaan, who happens to be a lady-boy, was to marry Dr. Tar, until discovering that the good old doctor had gotten one of the other nurses pregnant, feeling betrayed he/she/’IT’ threatens to go to the police and inform them of the body-selling scam that’s been taking place, in order to save themselves, the other nurses kill her off. Tahwaan, returns to haunt them, killing them one by one, in the goriest ways possible.

I sometimes got confused watching this movie, not because of the storyline or anything, but the way it came across felt like a porno at times. It’s probably the most sex-charged horror film I’ve ever seen … yet there’s no sex! Soft-porn-Horror! Despite this the film is quite good, it doesn’t hang about, wasting time with a “plot”; the action is prominent from the get-go.

You get the idea that the film is not to be taken too seriously, but yet it does have some strange and unexpected twists towards the end and there’s some intriguing camera work throughout the film.

So, the film’s nothing spectacular, but if you like pretty girls in nurse outfits getting slaughtered, you should definitely watch it... and who doesn't like that?
