Movie: The Slasher Nurse (2025)

Release: February 8, 2025
Written by: David Kerr
Directed by: David Kerr
Starring: Felissa Rose, Amber Fulcher, Michael McGlynn, Regina Groth
Produced by: Slasher 15 Productions, Unusual Company

David Kerr and his company Slasher 15 Productions are the driving force behind this project. He’s no stranger to crowdfunding , having launched around fifteen campaigns so far on indiegogo. His latest project, Uncle Fred’s Monster Problem, shows he’s willing to lean into the obscure, which even reminded me of a friend’s movie, Hermit: Monster Killer (2016), by Ola Paulakoski.

It’s worth noting that The Slasher Nurse (2025) is actually a remake. Back in 2017, Curse of the Slasher Nurse was released, also as a Kickstarter project, followed by a sequel, Return of the Slasher Nurse (2019). As I understand it, David Kerr combined elements from both previous films into a stronger slasher experience. I haven’t seen the earlier movies, but from the trailers, sound and camera quality look a bit low, while this new version feels like a step up. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The story is set twenty years after a prank goes wrong. Grace and her friends head to a cabin for a getaway vacation, but someone is back for revenge and the killings are bloody with some very creative slasher-style moments. As the film went on, I found myself enjoying it more and more. Sitting down to write this review, I realized the movie had grown on me. Honestly, I could see myself giving it another viewing fairly soon.

Amber Fulcher, who plays the nurse, is especially noteworthy. She also produced the movie, performed stunts and more, just as she did on the previous Slasher Nurse films. 

There’s even a funny scene where one of the lead characters suddenly picks up a rifle kind of nowhere and my friends and I couldn’t stop laughing, that looked so funny.
It’s also worth mentioning that a short film called The Slasher Nurse: Farm House has been made by David, targeted for a Halloween release. It serves as a short sequel and expands the universe a bit further.

One of the fun things about projects like this is spotting who is famous. Many crowdfunding projects often bring in cult names to attract attention and this one doesn’t disappoint.
Felissa Rose shows up, best known from Sleepaway Camp (1983). 
Brian Bremer appears, recognizable from Pumpkinhead (1988). 
Jim Krut shows up, he’s that memorable helicopter zombie that really stood out in Dawn of the Dead (1978). 
Beverly Randolph, associated with Night of the Living Dead (1985). 
Gareth “Slasher Trash” Morgan, known for running the Slasher Trash fan community and his documentary work exploring the slasher genre. 
Diana Prince, aka Darcy the Mail Girl and Joe Bob Briggs’ sidekick, also appears as a lovely nurse in the beginning, hard to miss. 
On top of that, Bryan M. Dorn, producer of Blood Moon, makes an appearance. I just recently reviewed that movie here on the blog. --> https://tinyurl.com/y4rs6hc2

The Blu-ray I got is labeled as a limited edition. I’m not sure if it will be sold outside of Kickstarter, but I’d guess a non-limited version might appear later. This edition includes deleted scenes, bloopers and a Making Of feature + a small print, a nice bonus. When I popped this into my PC, I saw the Blu-ray was named Farm House? Interesting… Another nice thing was the envelope I got in the mail had the company logo all over it, that was sweet. 

 

I rate this 8/10
Mostly for the duck that stole the show.
