Here, he combines <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=69330\"><em>The Exorcist<\/em> (1973)<\/a> with soft-core titillation, and the result isn&#8217;t quite as dreadful as one might expect. The acting, sets, and script (while rambling) are all passable, and while the early &#8220;possession&#8221; passage is humorously cartoonish, later effects (with Roy continuing to haunt and taunt those he&#8217;s left behind) are mildly effective. None of this is meant to recommend the film, but rather to say &#8212; it could have been even worse.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reasonably done special effects near the end<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Nurse-Sherri-Still.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Nurse-Sherri-Still-1024x739.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"462\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-44190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Nurse-Sherri-Still-1024x739.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Nurse-Sherri-Still-128x92.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Nurse-Sherri-Still-300x217.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Nurse-Sherri-Still-768x554.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo. Listed as Trash in the back of Peary&#8217;s book. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0076478\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.horrorexpress.com\/moviereview\/nurse-sherri\">Horror Express Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thespinningimage.co.uk\/cultfilms\/displaycultfilm.asp?reviewid=10575&#038;aff=13\">Spinning Image Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m performing a miracle &#8211; how dare you suggest fraud?&#8221; Synopsis: When a nurse (Jill Jacobson) becomes possessed by the evil spirit of a dying mystic cult leader (Bill Roy), it&#8217;s up to her fellow nurses (Marilyn Joi and Katherine Pass) to help save her.
