Candy Stripers Trailers

Thanks to an auto accident, a parasitic alien manages to get into a hospital. It quickly moves from the crash victim into a candy striper. Among the patients at the hospital are some rather short high school basketball players. It is through them that we watch the events unfold. The infected, or inhabited, candy striper becomes predatory. She goes after men for sex and after women to spread. Infected women develop an incredible sweet tooth and devour anything sweet they can find. The horror then spreads. As the horror takes over more of the hospital and the CDC locks it down, the basketball players and a few friends do everything they can to try and get out of the hospital. But soon it becomes evident that the problem has spread too far. Now if they manage to escape it will only be to delay the inevitable if they cannot halt the spread of aliens before they get out and take over the whole world.

Reviews
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
kosmasp I actually thought it was two "p"s in the title and it would've been like the Strippers vs. Zombies comedy thing. And while it's about nurses (well the title that is), it does try to delve into the horror comedy territory that I thought it would. It does also contain a lot of nudity if that is anything that helps you enjoy a movie.Acting wise there are a lot of issues at hand. The viewer knows always what the movie or the actors are trying to communicate, even though they fail many times at actually delivering convincingly. It's also very predictable to say the least. But it can be a fun movie for teenagers, if they haven't seen this a 100 times before already (not talking about the nudity in this case) ...
LasKeepsItReal The movie starts with a teenage blind girl and her friend having a car accident, seemingly the blind girls friend dies and she is then taken to hospital. She has contracted an infection from some kind of alien seed. One of the candy stripers tries to help her stay alive but is also infected after they kiss. From then on the candy stripers are infecting each other, slaughtering people or trying to breed with several of the men in the hospital. They also like very sweet things but you will have to see to find out why! It is up to a group of high school students who become trapped within the hospital to try and put an end to the madness. This film does offer something most viewers would like to see:horror,nudity,gore and some comedy too. Don't expect to see a great film although for its budget i feel as though it worked well with a few likable characters, the way in which the candy stripers were killed was unusual and there is a scene where one of the main candy stripers transforms into an alien and shows her true self. Fairly predictable with a straight forward plot!My rating is 5 out of 10!
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.
charlene_boyle To start off with i'm not a huge fan of these types of horror movies so it didn't have a huge appeal from the start. It was however a decent movie to watch if you like these body invading types of movies. I do feel that they could have figured out a better way to make the "alien" moves from body to body. I'm assuming they were trying to go as disgusting as possible. Some of the scenes in the film didn't make a whole lot of sense. You have to basically overlook the huge gaps in the storyline if you want to enjoy it. If of course your interested in watching a movie containing 90% "hot" women bearing their breasts then this is the movie for you, it does not lack in that department. I however am not one to look for that in a film so it held no appeal for me in that regard, so I had to stick with the sketchy storyline. Overall it was worth watching if your a hard core horror movie watcher, but certainly not a top pick when you have a selection of horror movies to choose from.
