Hell Nurse is a 2022 1970s style grindhouse exploitation film written and directed by Bobby Blood. [1]
Plot
Darla Perkins is a young nursing student moonlighting as a caretaker for Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair in the small mountain town of Red Oak, Washington. Terry Wellborne, Wayne Starkey, and Stacy Dale are career criminals on the run, having just committed an armed robbery and murder in town. Desperate to avoid the police roadblocks and trapped in the town, the fugitives venture up the mountain looking for a hideout.
The killers break into the Sinclair home and murder the elderly couple. Darla Perkins is raped, shot, and mistaken for dead. The killers then stack the three bodies in a closet while they party for several days awaiting clearance of the roadblocks. After three days, the killers vacate the home. Darla Perkins, who has spent 72 hours with the decaying corpses of her patients, escapes and is committed to a mental institution for 2 years.
Upon her release, Darla returns to nursing in the new town of Woody Pines, Oregon. She suffers more abuse from the nursing staff at the hospital, who are not convinced that she is deserving of her position. One day during a visit to town, Darla encounters Terry Wellborne, Wayne Starkey, and Stacy Dale, who do not see her. Darla sells her soul to the Devil in return for the deliverance of the rapists/killers. A few nights later, the killers arrive at the hospital, having committed another robbery and killing. This time the leader, Terry Wellborne, was shot during the robbery. Darla takes control of the hospital and commences to execute her revenge on the three fugitives. [2]

Easter Eggs
According to IMDb there are numerous homages to other films hidden inside Hell Nurse. Some are obvious such as filming locations and story tie-ins with Halloween (1978) and Phantasm (1979), with others being much more obscure. During guest appearances on the Horror Flicks & Guitar Picks Podcast and Another Goddamn Horror Podcast,[4] Writer/Director Bobby Blood stated that although Hell Nurse has "absolutely no comedic intent," there are "practically unlimited" Easter Eggs and homages to the film Repo Man (1984) which he cites as his favorite movie of all time despite it not being a Horror Film.[5]
