Maniac Nurses
(1990)
Horror/Action/Comedy
Bizzare, often perverse yarn about nurses in a metropolitan hospital who seduce then murder male patients
The first sign that there is a genius at work in the making of this motion picture is the long (some might say far too long, but I'll not hear of it) sequence where the narrator explains why the Maniac Nurses, even though they came from white trash origins, were even worse than everyday run of the mill white trash because they had lost their enthusiasm for life's pleasures. This narration plays over footage of the nurses shooting up and half-heartedly watching another nurse performing a rather lethargic striptease for their benefit. Although I can't prove it conclusively, I believe the footage of the striptease is looped and just plays the same sequence of moves over and over again. The looped footage and the over the top pseudo-sociological narration are perhaps the greatest synthesis of sound and image ever perfected in the art of film-making.
Also there is the baby born with an Elvis tattoo. Its not a birthmark, its a tattoo. And he didn't have it tattooed onto his skin, he was born with it. Once you get past your initial resistance you can see the genius inherent in this plot point.
And if I remember right the first baby born with an Elvis tattoo died inexplicably, but then another one was born with an Elvis tattoo as well. Fortunately the second baby born with an Elvis tattoo managed to live long enough to have some impact on the movie's plot.
Other than those flashes of genius, this is a real stink-bomb. Not even a good T&A exploitation or gruesome violence exploitation flick. Just some cheap footage shot by neophytes that Troma studios bought for a song and then probably threw a few hours and a few hundred bucks into adding narration too. (Just a guess on my part, this is not the kind of film to inspire exhaustive research.)
