BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Woodyanders Three libidinous and predatory aliens take on the enticing forms of a trio of candy stripers at a hospital in a small California town. The gals are looking for guys to use as breeders in order to produce more of their nefarious species and take over our planet. It's up to a handful of resourceful teenagers to thwart the lovely, but lethal ladies before it's too late. Director/co-writer Kate Robbins whips up an entertaining schlockoid straight-to-video romps that hits all the necessary pleasingly trashy bases: there's a decent smattering of tasty gratuitous female nudity, groovy bits of over-the-top gore, a few pretty hot and fairly raunchy sex scenes, a steady pace, tacky (not so) special effects, and some neat offbeat touches (the evil extraterrestrial babes pig out on sugary sweets and can be killed with insulin!). This movie starts out a bit slow, but picks up energy and becomes more increasingly daft in its gloriously ridiculous second half. The cheerfully pulpy Grade B sensibility at work throughout further adds to the infectiously inane fun. The acceptable acting from the competent rates as another plus, with especially solid work from Brian Lloyd as likable nice guy basketball player Matt, Tori White as spunky diabetic Cherie, Nicole Rayburn as snotty cheerleader Krystal, William Edwards Jr. as the infected Joey, and Kevin Thomas Fee as macho meathead Brian. The ravishing Deanna Brooks, the luscious Serria Tawan, and the yummy Eliza Swenson are all quite sexy and delectable as the titular deadly, yet desirable outer space foxes. Geoffrey Schaef's crisp cinematography makes funky occasional use of strenuous slow motion. Patrick Brocca's spirited shuddery score hits the shivery spot. A deliciously cheesy hoot and a half.

Claudio Carvalho In a lonely road in Wucaipa, something attacks the driver of a car and her blind friend Tammy (Sarah Ball). They have a car accident; Tammy survives and is sent to the Wucaipa General Hospital. Meanwhile, a high school basketball team fights with the opponents in the square and the captain Matt (Brian Lloyd) with a broken leg, and his injured friends Joey (William Edwards Jr.) and Brian (Kevin Thomas Fee) are sent to the same hospital. Tammy is near death and asks the candy striper nurse Janine (Deanna Brooks) to kiss her. While kissing as a gesture of sympathy, an alien invades the mouth of Janine and infects her; she infects others nurses, clerks, doctors and patients, initiating an exponential virus outbreak in the hospital. Joey's sister Cherie (T. White) that has a crush on Matt stays with them in the hospital. When Joey is infected by a hot nurse during the night, he has webbing on the face and rush, and Matt asks Cherie to call his girlfriend Krystal (Nicole Rayburn) to help them to leave the hospital. But the place is under quarantine and the candy strippers need sugar to procreate a breed of alien.The B-movie "Candy Stripers" recalls those movies from the 50's, more specifically "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", but spiced with erotic scenes and really hot actresses, highlighting the playmate Deanna Brooks and the sexy good actress Nicole Rayburn of "Kisses and Caroms". The story is flawed, this low-budget movie is not the eighth wonder of the world and will not be nominated to the Oscar, but the IMDb User Rating is very unfair, maybe due to prejudice against the gorgeous and sexy playmates. I found "Candy Stripers" a very entertaining and funny film. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Hospital Macabro" ("Macabre Hospital")Note: On 16 August 2015, I saw this movie again.

elliotdowning 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!

Crazyfarts When the Candy Stripers in a small town Hospital are taken over by voracious aliens, they become killing machines hell bent on breeding... playboy playmates Deanna Brooks and Serria Tawan star in this campy-horror feature.Injured in an out-of-town college basketball game Matt and his team-mates end up in the local hospital. He suffers a broken leg and is placed in traction making him unable to move. Really weird things are happening... the sweet young Candy Stripers are seducing all the men in the hospital, then wrapping them in a hideous web-like substance. Matt realizes he and his friends must escape but after the hospital is put under quarantine they're trapped! Heading for the basement they find a terrifying scene... an alien makeshift maternity ward! Yet another small DTV release desperately seeking attention. Candy Stripers is a borderline film as far as entertainment is concerned, it really is leaning on the edge waiting to be shoved into the zone of regret. The fact that it was a combination of playmates and aliens in a film, the temptation and curiosity was too much for me to pass up. Especially with the voluptuous DVD cover art that the movie possesses.So to explain this movie, you just need to follow a fairly laid out pattern. Sex scene, sex scene, gore scene, sex scene, gore scene, gore scene, almost a sex scene... wait yes, we get a sex scene, more gore etc. Really, that's pretty much it. Not really a bad thing but it's also not favoring the movie as far as the premise is concerned. As the movie started, I told my wife "It'll probably have a sex scene every five minutes." Lo' and behold... it was like that.There are some fairly decent gore moments in the film, not surprising but pulled off quite successfully and does not have an over-abundance of poor CGI effects. There is some CG imagery, even though it's not great it's still tolerable especially when comparing to a lot of the other recent direct-to-video horror flicks. It passes the effects test just barely, a fun watch for the gore indeed.The thing that holds Candy Stripers down is its plot and actors. Neither are worth the time of the day. The plot is tiring, overdone and has no substance. The opening scene is actually one of the worst scenes in the movie and is NOT a good first impression for the viewer, keep watching though... it gradually gets better but loses steam near the end. The two actors in the scene seemed to just be reading their lines and not showing any "real" emotion what-so-ever. Also the fact that they were driving a car that didn't look like it was moving and when it was moving it made them look like they never even passed their driving test.A good one-time viewing but only for gore fans. If you're looking for anything more than unnecessary sex scenes and gore/violence, you're not going to enjoy this much at all.
