Comments: Contrary to what the title may lead you to believe, this is not porn. Sick Nurses is another Asian horror film that features those creepy-looking ghosts. Considering that I do not watch too many of these J-horror types, I enjoyed the film. Sick Nurses centers around a doctor and a bevy of attractive nurses that sell corpses. He is dating one of the nurses, but ends up having an affair with her sister. The nurse proceeds to flip shit and threatens to expose the corpse-selling business, so the other nurses tie her down and naturally stab the shit out of her until she's dead. This, of course, leaves the door open for the nurse to return as a ghost and wreak havoc on the others. Sick Nurses was a tad confusing at first, but the film eventually explains itself, despite its lack of dialogue. There's also a few twists that I wasn't expecting, which made me enjoy the film even more. Asian horror is always interesting, as it's usually way more fucked up than anything the U.S. produces (at least commercially). Sick Nurses fits nicely in with other Asian gore films, and is worth a watch if this is your thing.
