To me, this movie is perfection.

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Somewhere in Los Angeles, professional chef Sarah Butler (as Brooke Harmon) gets a promotion. A happy cook, Ms. Butler has just moved in with handsome boyfriend Steven Good (as Lance Boston). An Internet web designer, Mr. Good proposed marriage to Butler. She decided the couple should live together for around three years, before making it legal. That seems reasonable, for our characters. After celebrating her work promotion, they have a tragic accident while driving home. For reasons unclear, a strange man walks into ongoing traffic and is hit by Good. Butler is fine, but Good has a broken leg. He needs a full-time nurse to help him take his medication and go to the bathroom. In walks attractive Lindsay Hartley (as Chloe Spade)..."Nightmare Nurse" is your average "Lifetime" TV movie. The obvious weakness is a story with plot points that should have been clearer. Jake Helgren's story is implausible, as is necessary for the genre, but you'll see things happening that require further explanation. Most obviously, characters appear in places too unexpectedly...Relatively new to this sort of movie, director Craig Moss is outstanding. His early hospital scenes capture the mood and characters very well. The shot of Good with his leg raised way up was great. Having the hapless couple wake up in Verdugo Hills Hospital with nurses "Barb" and "Paul" set the stage for a "Nightmare Nurse" adventure. Coming to consciousness with "Barb" and "Paul" in that hospital would make me squeamish. VHH nurses don't look like Traci Lords and Michael Finn. Still, considering the story, they are well cast. The folks who make TV movies should send the director a multi-picture contract, as Mr. Moss keeps the characters engaging with limited sets and budget. Moss should also consider holding out for bigger pictures.***** Nightmare Nurse (3/5/2016) Craig Moss ~ Sarah Butler, Steven Good, Lindsay Hartley, Traci Lords

Hard to believe any of this. Young Couple have accidentally, killed someone in a car, go to hospital, she's okay, he fractured leg cannot walk and needs a nurse to care for him while girlfriend works. Seems nursie is wacko and wants boyfriend for herself. Feud with couple and she is fired. Boyfriend is just an idiot and without a clue to life and whatever. Seems all the women around him protecting him fighting over him and generally being a nuisance. And boyfriend just lays there helpless. So helpless he can't even take his own meds. Give me a break. It's his leg not his arms, hands, etc. Even the ending is not a surprise as I knew it in the beginning. In the ending boyfriend lies on sofa while all the women are fighting over him. Duh. He can hobble to the door to let people in but can't move when they are having at it around him. Girls, he's not worth it. Move on to a man. This is a boy without any balls.

As far as lifetime thrillers go this one is slightly above average which means it's worth one watch. The cast is pleasant to look at, the story is mostly kept believable with one not too outrageous twist. A couple are involved in a car accident that kills a man who walked out in front of them. An attractive nurse is sent to look after the driver of the car who has a broken leg at home but she has her own agenda.Lindsay Hartley plays the nurse and she plays it suitably unhinged when required. Her face can be quite scary. Sarah Butler and Steven Good are the couple. Her character is a bit irritating.Worth one watch.

The film starts off well when a young couple are involved in an accident which kills a pedestrian. Though they are vindicated, their lives shall never be the same and the irony here is that it's the nursing profession that put them in grave danger.A young nurse is assigned to help our guy recuperate and at once she puts the moves on the guy and when he spurns her, she becomes more violent and takes others as victims along the way.As the film proceeds, we are shocked by the fact that this nurse, with mental issues, has been used by another to perpetrate all that is going on. This may have weakened the film since the duped nurse did much of the dirty work while being led on by someone else. This may become hard to fathom.
