I've never heard of The Nurse before watching it tonight, in which it has a similar feel to The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. The movie stars Lisa Zane (Billy Zane's older sister) as Laura Harriman, a nurse who wants revenge!
Her
father had recently murdered her mother and brother. Then he took his
own life, all because he was accused of embezzling money. Bob Martin is
the man who turned him over to the police and after hearing about the
deaths, he has a stroke which leaves him paralyzed.
Laura wants
revenge for her family's deaths, so she kills Bob's live-in-nurse and
she becomes his new nurse. Since he is paralyzed, he can't inform his
wife or children about who the nurse really is. One by one, Laura plans
on killing each family member while Bob watches helplessly.
The
movie was released to direct-to-video (aka VHS) in the late 90s and
thanks for Echo Bridge Home Entertainment for releasing it to DVD, I
bought the movie in an eight movie bundle. I didn't know what to expect
when I saw Lisa Zane's name in the opening credits as I never cared for
her in Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare,
but she gave a good performance as a psycho nurse. The movie is less
horror and more like a made-for-TV thriller, except it has a few f-bombs
in it. The Nurse isn't really scary, but I was entertained for 90
minutes!
