Plot

edit

A group of lesbian nurses who lure unsuspecting male strangers back to their home to torture them.

Production

edit

Filming for Maniac Nurses took place in Hungary and was billed by Troma as the "first Hungarian-shot sexploitation film".[2] The company also billed it as a sequel to the 1976 exploitation film Bloodsucking Freaks, also distributed by Troma, but has no connection to it whatsoever.[citation needed]

Release

edit

Maniac Nurses was released to home video through Troma Entertainment.[3] The exact release date for the film differs; in his book Belgian Cinema René Michelems gives the year of release as 1991, while VideoHound lists it as 1994 and Mubi lists 1990.[4][5][6]

Reception

edit

In their book Psychotherapists on Film, John Flowers and Paul Frizler state that the film was "so bad that we were tempted to swear off movies forever."[7] Joe Bob Briggs recommended the film, calling it one of the strangest that he has ever seen.[8]
