A crazed nurse who spends most of the running time in a state of undress, becomes obsessed with a beautiful female co-worker, and also lures cheating men to their gruesome deaths. Sounds good right? And I ask that without an once of condescension - it does sound good. But it's not. In fact it's awful and perfectly understandable why it collected dust on the shelf for over two years before being dumped in a handful of theaters and VOD. As forgettable as the film is, there would be nothing of value here if it wasn't for Paz de la Huerta. Her line readings are mind bogglingly insane and she's clearly drunk in more than a few scenes. There doesn't seem to be much going on between her ears, except for her synapses misfiring and she comes across like a complete imbecile and/or stroke victim. Whatever her problem is, drugs, booze, low IQ - she's hilarious. There's also voice-over narration throughout the film that is supposed to be Paz, but it's clearly a different actress's voice. It just adds to the absurd nature of this film. A behind the scenes documentary that shows all and tells all, would be far more entertaining than watching the final product. Paz de la Huerta gives a legendary performance of awful.
