Maniac Nurses Find Ecstasy

Summary: this is piece of junk!
Review: After viewing this movie I swear that I would never watch another B movie. The special effects (if you can call special effects) are fake, and the women in there are ugly and unattractive. The plot is terrible and the acting is aweful. And the funniest thing is there's a narrator telling you the story, it's like if the actresses don't know how to talk, (in fact, the dialogues of the movie is one of the worst ever). I can't belief myself that i waste my money on this worthless trash. If i can destroy every copy of this movie i would!

Summary: Very, very strange
Review: Don't let the name fool you. Maniac Nurses is a tour de force to be reckoned with. Not since Citizen Kane has a movie been so able to touch the heart and warm the soul with motion picture art of the purest order. Featuring a variety of characters so intricately arrayed that even Jacques Shauff would be amazed, and a soundtrack that would bring John Williams to shame, this shapes up as a film that is a compelling and stirring look into the psychoses that effect our medical professionals, and the horrid world that they live in.

Not since the ancient tragedies of Greece has a love story pulled so heartily on one's emotions. Duels of lust and loss nearly brought this viewer to tears, and the sordid affairs of the movie's stars prove to be quite an intriguing matter indeed.

One is always likely to think that a novel is not easily made into a motion picture, but the undying devotion of director Harry M. Love and producer J.B. Casteleyn make this film the perfect rendition of the original manuscript written by award-winning author Leon Howard.

This film touches on a wide range of subject matter, from racial stereotypes to gang warfare to even suicidal drug abuse. I don't want to ruin the movie for you, so I won't reveal much more, but I will say that the movie ends in an unprecedented twist turn the likes of which never have and never will be seen again. To the brilliant people that helped this movie to be, I say, well done!

Summary: Only maniacs will watch
Review: I gave this movie 1 star, because there was no way to give it less. This is the kind of movie that gives gore/sex movies a bad name. What plot there is is a meandering morass of inscrutable events strung together by inertia. The sex is softer than the Pillsbury doughboy and less interesting. The women are attractive, but the characterizations shallow to non-existent. The display of emotional expressions ranges from slightly alert to stunned. The quality of transfer was not even very good. Personally, I'd rather have an old beta format version of "I Spit on Your Grave." Other than these few things, it was swell.

I guess it depends on your boundaries. For me, if you're thinking about this for the gore, you'll be disappointed. If you're thinking about this for the sex, you'll be disappointed. If you're trying to spend down to qualify for Medicaid, why not?

Maybe it's not fair, but I watched this within a few days of seeing "Cannibal Holocaust," so it may have seemed more tame than it really is.....naah. It just sucks. But if you need something to go with "Plan 9" on the bookcase, knock yourself out.

Review: I have never seen a more bizarre movie than this, and I am an underground film/cult collector. Man, the gore in this is incredible. The amount of sex is, well, way over the top. As for the plot, well, there's not much to it. There's what I think is considered to be a hospital, that appears to be in the middle of nowhere. Within the hospital are several girls who have been changed into blood thirsty maniacs. The main character, Sabrina, is the main mistress's big pick of the litter. In one particularly 'touching' scene, the dominatrix attempts to make a 'love-doll' for Sabrina, in which a body is completely mutilated. Interesting. Well, the plot doesn't get much more intricate then that, and if I told any more, I'd give away the ending. So, it's bizarre. And I'm not praising it, I don't think it's really all that great. But it does stick with you. Many of the scenes are hard to erase. So be prepared to be mystified, shocked, and bored, at parts. Don't buy this movie expecting much, at all.

Summary: Lots of T & A
Review: If you're looking for nudity, along with a bit of disgusting humor, then this is the movie for you. Lots of nudity, no sex, but all women.

Summary: Another case where the title is better than the movie.
Review: The previous (OBVIOUSLY tongue in cheek.) 5 star review from "Terrance and Phillip" should serve to warn viewers of the potential harm that prolonged exposure to intestinal gas can do to one's brain cells. That said, this could possibly be the target audience the makers (Or maybe "hacks" would be more apt, given the subject matter) of MANIAC NURSES FIND ECSTASY had in mind.
Also known as BLOODSUCKING FREAKS 2, this Troma release bears no similarity to the "classic" gorefest that became the #2 cult film of all time (behind ROCKY HORROR). However, any movie that opens with a dedication to former adult movie queen Traci Lords can't be a complete write-off.
Written, Produced and Directed by Leon Paul De Bruyn, hiding behind the twin psueudonyms of Leon P. Howard and Harry M. Love; MANIAC NURSES FIND ECSTASY features a linking narrative introducing a slum known as Women's Hell USA, in which the viewer is welcomed to come on "a journey into sickness and sex and violence". The three compulsory main ingredients for any half decent schlockfest.
Women's Hell is run by the sadistic clinical director Ilsa (Haini Brown). Her payroll includes a bevy of busty beauties with an insatiable lust for blood, sex and violence of the most sadistic kind. One early such anecdote features the nurses chasing down a hapless couple in their ambulance/ makeshift morgue; blowing off the guy's head with a shotgun in classic DAWN OF THE DEAD fashion; then kidnapping his girlfriend and taking her back to the clinic for a quick bondage session and a literal roasting in the sauna.
Another of the nurses, Sabrina (Susanna Mackay) a sultry blond; happens to be obsessed with comic books featuring Nazis and serial killers such as Ed Gein: who; as anyone who knows anything about horror movies will know, was the inspiration for TCM's Leatherface. Of course, all this pulp horror feeds her insatiable appetite for pure unadulterated sadism- especially in a memorably dumb sequence where the culprits' names flash below the screen; which given the aforementioned target audience may actually have been quite a clever idea.
Also of note is an extended mumbo-jumbo narrative arrangement featuring a '70s style hypnosis device and topless dancing. Sure, bare breasts always fare well in this genre, but I was left wondering what the point was.
Basically if you want to spend over an hour watching a group of sexy, psychotic neo-Nazi lesbians massacring people and "exploring perversity to its limits" as the narrator puts it; MANIAC NURSES ought to be your kind of movie. A special highlight is the blackly funny scene where a guy gets his foot severed with razor wire (You have to see it for yourself). And beyond this roiling sea of bubbling blood and bouncy boobies comes a bravura finale (that is, if your stomach's still up to it) where sultry vixen Sabrina goes on a casual rampage clad in sexy lingerie; which takes a good 10 minutes for her to complete- but I'd imagine climbing two flights of stairs while wearing heels wouldn't be the most comfortable way of doing it. What's wrong with good ol' unsexy tennis shoes?
But what I found most amusing is the fact that ODE TO JOY plays during the end credits! MANIAC NURSES isn't quite up there with Troma classics like TOXIC AVENGER and BLOODSUCKING FREAKS; but its still far superior to some of their lesser efforts like SURF NAZIS MUST DIE and FEMME FONTAINE. Taken purely as a braindead trash movie, MANIAC NURSES is still worth the time of Troma devotees and curious BLOODSUCKING FREAKS fans; though it's lacking the visceral impact and warped comic genius of Joel Reed's cult classic.

Summary: So bad it's hilarious
Review: This movie is a bad one, make no mistake about it, but bad in such a way that it seems exceptionally funny. This is the kind of movie that you invite friends over to watch, to have a few beers with, and to gather around and take turns making jokes about, laughing at the movie every chance you get.

This is a cult movie in this respect, make no mistake about it. Like most such movies, it is not for everyone's taste. However, if you want to watch something that you can laugh at freely this is the perfect movie for you.

Among the highlights are a paper-thin plot, terrible acting by all concerned, a corny sounding narrator, plenty of skin, and a lot of gratuitous violence. In other words, this is very nearly the perfect movie for me. It is also almost perfect as silly entertainment. I recommend this to all.

Summary: Maniac Nurses Invade Your TV!!!
Review: This movie takes alot of flack. In my opinion, anyone who would trash this flick has no right watching a movie entitled "Maniac Nurses Find Ecstacy" in the first place...I mean, what do you expect???

This is not high art by any stretch, this is trash cinema at its worst, and it is all the better for it! There is copious amounts of nudity, gore, incest, lesbianism, women with guns, bad acting, atrocious dubbing, a paper thin plot, SM, and no point whatsoever! It is everything I had hoped this movie would be!

It is...Maniac Nurses Find Ecstacy!!!

If you are a fan of truly bad cinema, this is the movie for you! There is no way that this movie was ever meant to be taken seriously, and it really has to be seen to be believed...I couldn't stop laughing!

The DVD has very few extras, with only a handful of trailers and a few of the typical Troma adds. But it is the movie that counts. Depending on you tastes, Maniac Nurses is either a 0/5, or a perfect 5...you can see what side of the arena I'm on!

Love it or hate it, there is really nothing else quite like it.

Summary: Substitutes Sex, Blood and Gore for a tale of Morality.
Review: Though the Unbelievable Bad Dubbing of the Dialogue, Coupled with the Horrendous Acting, Scripting, (I have Serious doubts they even Used a Script) Editing and Direction, will give you the Biggest Laughs of your Adult Lives, this is Still a Below average Troma Entry. (Boy, That's saying something)

The Story sounded to Die for. Crazy Homicidal nurses who crave nothing but Sex and Violence, it sounds too Good to be True, and it is. The Film I had in my head after reading the films cover is a Lot Better then the one we actually Get. Don't get me wrong, I still laughed..., but my Expectations were Raised and not met.

The Narration is nothing short of Hysterical, the Dubbing, the Editing... My god, I know I've already Mentioned it all, but.. Man. Troma Fans will be on the Floor with Laughter, the Uninitiated will be in Total Disbelief. The All Female Cast deserve Congratulations for their Looks and they deserve Heckling for their Abilities.

The Troma team have always Prided themselves on their lack of Subtlety and Morals. This film has no Subtlety, but it Does have Morals, and this is it's Major Undoing. Us Wacko's who spend our Hard earned money Hiring and Purchasing these films don't hire and purchase them for their Plots, and we Certainly don't watch them in the hope for a Moral Lecturing. Shame on Troma for Wasting such a Tantalising Set up.

Some of the more Recent Troma releases have seemed to be Forcing themselves to be Bad Movies, which feels false. "Maniac Nurses find Ecstasy" doesn't need to force Anything, the Badness comes through on it's own.

This is one for those Die Hard Troma fans only, for the Uninitiated, or the Curious.. Hire "Tromeo and Juliet", it has Everything a Great Troma pic Needs.
