Wonderfully offbeat film!

not horrible nor great

disgusting, overrated, pointless

A Disappointing Continuation

After being sent to a local hospital, a high-school basketball player and his teammates find that the staff is actually a race of aliens disguised as sexy nurses looking to score more bodies for their conquest plans and forces them to band together to escape alive.This one wasn't all that bad and did have some solid points. One of the more enjoyable aspects of this one is the fact that it really plays out the fantasy aspect of the aliens. The sensuality of their physical appearances, their uniforms and the general air of sultriness that comes from the prospect of them being disguised as nurses really works here, and the fact that this allows for the great scenes of them seducing everyone in order to turn them. With these scenes constituting the majority of the first half here where it's all about the hidden identity of the aliens and their behavior towards the group not only lets this get plenty of sleazy thrills out of the prospect of getting the nurses to seduce and turn them, and once things take a far more morbid turn when they discover the true nature of them it becomes far more enjoyable as this turns into a series of great action-packed set-pieces that are rather enjoyable. The attacks with the nurses coming after the group as they attempt to leave the hospital, make for quite a fine series of chases, the constant turns deep into the hospital where they find the corridors leading into the basement where all the previous victims are stored in a cocoon-like setup which offers plenty of chilling images showing the bodies all tied up and laying down the big barricades in the boiler room to finally stop them all gives this the kind of great action in the final half. Even the fun attack where the nurses go on the offensive in the lobby ripping everyone to pieces including all the patients and guards which is quite the enjoyable time as that really brings out the great blood and gore nicely. These here are the film's positives which are more than enough to overcome the few flaws here. The biggest issue is the fact that there's no reason for the aliens to be there at the hospital since there's nothing given about the small-town hospital being needed or what they're actually trying to do, and the fact that there's little actual screen time for the alien. It has a rather confusing nature in the first half as well since there's little in the way in which they take over the hospital without them knowing what's going on, as this manages to really seem quite illogical how they managed to accomplish this without anyone knowing as they finally discover the threat halfway through finally forcing them into action at that point to keep the secret. Along with some shoddy CGI that pops up, these here are what hold it back.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and some sexual scenes.

Candy Stripers is just plain horrible, and not in a scary way, even by B-movie or Z-movie standards. In case you were curious, the title refers to the female hospital volunteers in the US that wore white uniforms with red stripes. With a title like that, you would expect some stripping and nudity, there's not much of it here on display except a couple of quick breast shots, nothing really past the half-way point. It feels and plays like a cheap TV show with an extremely low budget, kind of a B-movie Goosebumps for teens. It takes place mostly in a hospital slowly being "overrun" by sexually aggressive women possessed by slugs. I actually make it sound better than it is.The writing is lame, the dialogue is cliché, and it doesn't even have those wonderfully corny one-liners you usually get in that type of movie. The acting is laughable and doesn't even reach TV soap quality, which would have been nice here actually. Worse, you have 2 of the main guys, supposedly teenagers, that are balding. The special effects are pathetic, and not even funny pathetic, just cheap-looking and bad (especially the distortion CGI effect when the "creatures" die). The suspense and enjoyment are non-existent, and the movie felt twice as long as it actually is. And this is from someone who usually enjoys those kind of movies as long as there's some cleverness, enthusiasm and talent behind it. This review is already too long for such a piece of manure. Don't get suckered by the cover art. Don't expect good titillation, gore or fun. Don't pay for it, don't even watch it for free. If you already did, then you now understand what I meant. You want something good in the same vein, rent Lesbian Vampire Killers instead.

First of all, if you see this title then just don't pick it up if you think that you have found the 1978 version. This isn't really a remake but it takes place like the original one in a hospital. What we have here is a kind of SF horror flick but with a sauce of eroticism. Does it work, in some ways yes, there are some boobs in it, but it doesn't go any further (the 1978 was XXX). Is it frightening, no, it's one for the teenagers out there who's eyes will fall open by the boobs shown. We never see the monster, just some dildo kind one coming out of the girls mouth. The only out of space thing you will have is an alien's hand. The alien itself makes some kind of web but what we have is faces and people in those web, easy to see that the web was made of some snow spray for Christmas decoration. So it's in fact a bit cheesy and that's how you have to watch this flick. When killing the virus contained persons the effects used are very simple. It's low budget but somehow I kept entertained by it, would recommend it to teenagers.

Firstly, let us state that we were promised strong, if not gratuitous, sex scenes. We were sorely disappointed. We got mediocre breasticle action - if that - from women who should, by definition, be professional hookers.Secondly, we call attention to the anomaly of the blonde cheerleader's unusually erect nipples - particularly watch out for those babies in the second half of the film...They practically wink at you from her green halter-neck.Thirdly, what is Naomi Campbell doing trying to act? A fourth point is that the orange blood used in many killings isn't fooling anyone.Finally, this movie is built on the flimsy premise that hospital staff go around snogging patients on their death beds simply because they ask for a kiss. Had they been able to control their urges, this movie would never have come to fruition - and we'd all be better for it.P.S. Tell the fat matron to find another day job!
