Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

insomniac_rod I caught this movie by mistake and I regret watching it. I expected plenty of sleaze. You know, with a title like "Maniac Nurses" you can imagine sexy women in nurse outfits (short skirts for example) getting to torture innocent victims in old fashion soft core with a touch of hard core. Did I get what I expected? Absolutely not! This is an atrocious effort of exploitation or hard core. It's almost as terrible as "Fraternity Demon".The plot is sleazy and made me think I would get some decent erotic horror. Mistake! The film is so bad filmed it hurts. The gore is terrible and you can only expect to watch an uncomfortable cat-fight that ends up with a stabbing. The torture situations are lame and make you lose interest on it. I wonder if the sex scenes were hardcore because most of them are ridiculously cut. Avoid this one. It's one of Troma's finest mistakes.

slake09 Maniac Nurses, or Maniac Nurses Find Ecstasy, isn't the worst movie ever, despite what other reviewers have said. I've seen the worst movie ever and this isn't even close.Instead, it's an incoherent mess of a plot featuring scantily clad nurses killing people for no apparent reason. Note that the nurses are generally dressed in skimpy costumes, there isn't enough nudity in the film to catapult it to genuine sleaze status. There isn't enough campy kitsch to make it into a so-bad-it's-good movie. There isn't enough bad humor to make it into any kind of comedy, and there isn't enough of anything else to make it very watchable.It's not awful; it's just plain bad, with the only redeeming quality at all being the skimpy costumes. They've maximized on that with the title and the box cover, but it's just not enough.

pleasendlost Watched this with my wife one night, she doesn't normally like trash type horror movies. It's a little bit trashy, a little bit gruesome, a little bit sexy, but doesn't go full on for any of these things.Lots of girls in sexy nurse outfits, stockings on display, someone gets mutilated on an operating table, there's a "hunt" in the woods, the usual stuff.It's not as bad as people are making out, I mean what do you expect with a title like that? Obviously influenced by the Ilsa movies, also euro porn, it's worth watching if it's on, but I wouldn't pay much money for it! Oh, and Ilsa's daughter is seriously hot!

rob2661 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.Even if I did the best acid in the world for three weeks straight, I never would come up with this stuff in a million years.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.)
