Nightmare Nurse (2015)

So much average

Awesome Movie

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Somewhere in Los Angeles, professional chef Sarah Butler (as Brooke Harmon) gets a promotion. A happy cook, Ms. Butler has just moved in with handsome boyfriend Steven Good (as Lance Boston). An Internet web designer, Mr. Good proposed marriage to Butler. She decided the couple should live together for around three years, before making it legal. That seems reasonable, for our characters. After celebrating her work promotion, they have a tragic accident while driving home. For reasons unclear, a strange man walks into ongoing traffic and is hit by Good. Butler is fine, but Good has a broken leg. He needs a full-time nurse to help him take his medication and go to the bathroom. In walks attractive Lindsay Hartley (as Chloe Spade)..."Nightmare Nurse" is your average "Lifetime" TV movie. The obvious weakness is a story with plot points that should have been clearer. Jake Helgren's story is implausible, as is necessary for the genre, but you'll see things happening that require further explanation. Most obviously, characters appear in places too unexpectedly...Relatively new to this sort of movie, director Craig Moss is outstanding. His early hospital scenes capture the mood and characters very well. The shot of Good with his leg raised way up was great. Having the hapless couple wake up in Verdugo Hills Hospital with nurses "Barb" and "Paul" set the stage for a "Nightmare Nurse" adventure. Coming to consciousness with "Barb" and "Paul" in that hospital would make me squeamish. VHH nurses don't look like Traci Lords and Michael Finn. Still, considering the story, they are well cast. The folks who make TV movies should send the director a multi-picture contract, as Mr. Moss keeps the characters engaging with limited sets and budget. Moss should also consider holding out for bigger pictures.***** Nightmare Nurse (3/5/2016) Craig Moss ~ Sarah Butler, Steven Good, Lindsay Hartley, Traci Lords

Hard to believe any of this. Young Couple have accidentally, killed someone in a car, go to hospital, she's okay, he fractured leg cannot walk and needs a nurse to care for him while girlfriend works. Seems nursie is wacko and wants boyfriend for herself. Feud with couple and she is fired. Boyfriend is just an idiot and without a clue to life and whatever. Seems all the women around him protecting him fighting over him and generally being a nuisance. And boyfriend just lays there helpless. So helpless he can't even take his own meds. Give me a break. It's his leg not his arms, hands, etc. Even the ending is not a surprise as I knew it in the beginning. In the ending boyfriend lies on sofa while all the women are fighting over him. Duh. He can hobble to the door to let people in but can't move when they are having at it around him. Girls, he's not worth it. Move on to a man. This is a boy without any balls.

As far as lifetime thrillers go this one is slightly above average which means it's worth one watch. The cast is pleasant to look at, the story is mostly kept believable with one not too outrageous twist. A couple are involved in a car accident that kills a man who walked out in front of them. An attractive nurse is sent to look after the driver of the car who has a broken leg at home but she has her own agenda.Lindsay Hartley plays the nurse and she plays it suitably unhinged when required. Her face can be quite scary. Sarah Butler and Steven Good are the couple. Her character is a bit irritating.Worth one watch.

Where do I even begin with this movie?Perhaps I should start with the grammar--who ends a sentence with 'for'? What did she do this for? What did he act like that for? Really?! That right there should have tipped me off that this was going to be a BAD Lifetime movie. :(The medical jargon--whoever wrote the script clearly copy & pasted anything medical from a quick google search.For Brooke to be so awesome that she was promoted to sous-chef, we never actually saw her cook a thing! Heck, she didn't even stir a pot! And the chef was quite the diva--completely over the top!Also, what kind of nurse (RN, LPN, whatever) is a nanny? Lance was in his right mind and able to administer his own meds. What he needed was home health physical therapy, not a licensed nurse to do his laundry, cook his meals, and obviously overdose him on meds.The entire movie moved entirely too slowly for the ending to be so rushed that Barb was revealed in the last five minutes as the true villain. I do not suggest this movie to anyone.
