      Audience Member this was garbage. not even good garbage. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Desperately tries to get into the "so bad it's good" category, but comes up hopelessly short even of that mark. Savannah Smith Boucher as the eponymous Nursie does act C Thomas Howell off the screen through. But then so do the sets. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member A doctor is kidnapped and held prisoner by the woman who runs a nursing home for elderly ladies. Comparisons with Kathy Bates in "Misery" are inevitable, and "Nursie" falls short by comparison. It's quite a well assembled little package, but there are too many clichés - consider the intellectually challenged muscle - and too many simplistic elements in the narrative. It's difficult to feel much sympathy for the doctor - he's too ineffectual, fails to make much of an effort to escape. And Nursie doesn't come close to the dynamic presence and horrifying rational Kathy Bates portrays so convincingly. The story is predictable, the characters obvious, the plot never quite convincing - there are always too many questions playing at the back of your mind, too many 'but surely ...', 'why didn't ...', and so on. What you get is a run of the mill drama with little which can be described as 'horror'. Well enough made, entertaining in places, but lukewarm. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member the main actress is plain scary --- loved her over-acting! otherwise nothing to write home abt. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member An excellent theme, yet obviously an unfortunate similarity to Stephen King's Misery. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Except from The Hitcher, did C. Thomas Howell make one decent movie?
