Info

Thanks to an auto accident, a parasitic alien manages to get into a hospital. It quickly moves from the crash victim into a candy striper. Among the patients at the hospital are some rather short high school basketball players. It is through them that we watch the events unfold. The infected, or inhabited, candy striper becomes predatory. She goes after men for sex and after women to spread. Infected women develop an incredible sweet tooth and devour anything sweet they can find. The horror then spreads. As the horror takes over more of the hospital and the CDC locks it down, the basketball players and a few friends do everything they can to try and get out of the hospital. But soon it becomes evident that the problem has spread too far. Now if they manage to escape it will only be to delay the inevitable if they cannot halt the spread of aliens before they get out and take over the whole world.

Candy Stripers Audience Reviews

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
CHUDtheBUD An Alien parasite takes over Candy Stripers and Nurses in a Hospital increasing their sex drive (and cravings for sugar), then using the screwed males as cocooned hosts for their unborn slimy babies. It's up to a few high school friends to save the day, however, only the sweetest girl of the bunch who happens to have diabetes seems to know how to stop this erotic but deadly alien Invasion. Glossy Z-film that reminded me of Decoys minus silly humor. Not saying Candy Stripers is without goofy moments but sadly it ain't necessarily the better movie either. Not bad enough to dismiss, not good enough to praise. It won't hurt to rent and watch once - unless you can find better movies with a similar theme.
goshouse Of course this film is a load of nonsense, and it's not difficult to pick holes in it. But therein lies the appeal of films such as this. Other reviewers have pointed out many of the implausibilities and the liberal use of stereotypes. But it has a plot (of sorts!) and visually it's pretty good, with relatively few obvious continuity errors. And, above all, it's great fun - and the Candy Stripers are undoubtedly very easy on the eye.By the way, was I the only one who actually wanted the Candy Stripers to win?! There was, naturally, scope left in the ending for a follow-up. I'd love to see a sequel - 'Revenge of the Candy Stripers'!
elliotdowning Firstly, let us state that we were promised strong, if not gratuitous, sex scenes. We were sorely disappointed. We got mediocre breasticle action - if that - from women who should, by definition, be professional hookers.Secondly, we call attention to the anomaly of the blonde cheerleader's unusually erect nipples - particularly watch out for those babies in the second half of the film...They practically wink at you from her green halter-neck.Thirdly, what is Naomi Campbell doing trying to act? A fourth point is that the orange blood used in many killings isn't fooling anyone.Finally, this movie is built on the flimsy premise that hospital staff go around snogging patients on their death beds simply because they ask for a kiss. Had they been able to control their urges, this movie would never have come to fruition - and we'd all be better for it.P.S. Tell the fat matron to find another day job!
charlene_boyle To start off with i'm not a huge fan of these types of horror movies so it didn't have a huge appeal from the start. It was however a decent movie to watch if you like these body invading types of movies. I do feel that they could have figured out a better way to make the "alien" moves from body to body. I'm assuming they were trying to go as disgusting as possible. Some of the scenes in the film didn't make a whole lot of sense. You have to basically overlook the huge gaps in the storyline if you want to enjoy it. If of course your interested in watching a movie containing 90% "hot" women bearing their breasts then this is the movie for you, it does not lack in that department. I however am not one to look for that in a film so it held no appeal for me in that regard, so I had to stick with the sketchy storyline. Overall it was worth watching if your a hard core horror movie watcher, but certainly not a top pick when you have a selection of horror movies to choose from.
