Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

GL84 After being sent to a local hospital, a high-school basketball player and his teammates find that the staff is actually a race of aliens disguised as sexy nurses looking to score more bodies for their conquest plans and forces them to band together to escape alive.This one wasn't all that bad and did have some solid points. One of the more enjoyable aspects of this one is the fact that it really plays out the fantasy aspect of the aliens. The sensuality of their physical appearances, their uniforms and the general air of sultriness that comes from the prospect of them being disguised as nurses really works here, and the fact that this allows for the great scenes of them seducing everyone in order to turn them. With these scenes constituting the majority of the first half here where it's all about the hidden identity of the aliens and their behavior towards the group not only lets this get plenty of sleazy thrills out of the prospect of getting the nurses to seduce and turn them, and once things take a far more morbid turn when they discover the true nature of them it becomes far more enjoyable as this turns into a series of great action-packed set-pieces that are rather enjoyable. The attacks with the nurses coming after the group as they attempt to leave the hospital, make for quite a fine series of chases, the constant turns deep into the hospital where they find the corridors leading into the basement where all the previous victims are stored in a cocoon-like setup which offers plenty of chilling images showing the bodies all tied up and laying down the big barricades in the boiler room to finally stop them all gives this the kind of great action in the final half. Even the fun attack where the nurses go on the offensive in the lobby ripping everyone to pieces including all the patients and guards which is quite the enjoyable time as that really brings out the great blood and gore nicely. These here are the film's positives which are more than enough to overcome the few flaws here. The biggest issue is the fact that there's no reason for the aliens to be there at the hospital since there's nothing given about the small-town hospital being needed or what they're actually trying to do, and the fact that there's little actual screen time for the alien. It has a rather confusing nature in the first half as well since there's little in the way in which they take over the hospital without them knowing what's going on, as this manages to really seem quite illogical how they managed to accomplish this without anyone knowing as they finally discover the threat halfway through finally forcing them into action at that point to keep the secret. Along with some shoddy CGI that pops up, these here are what hold it back.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and some sexual scenes.

Uriah43 Two young women are driving on a highway at night and come across an overturned vehicle. They get out of the car to take a closer look. Realizing that something is dreadfully wrong, they get scared and drive away quickly. Unfortunately, one of the girls, "Tammy" (Sarah McGuire) has been embedded with an alien life-form and she kills the driver, "Sue" (Monique Cooper) while it is still in motion. Tammy is then taken to a hospital in a small town called Wucaipa where she embeds the alien life-form into a local candy striper named "Janine" (Deanna Brooks) before dying. At around the same time three high school basketball players, "Matt" (Brian Lloyd), "Brian" (Kevin Thomas Fee) and "Joey" (William Edwards Jr.) are injured in a game and are taken to this same hospital for treatment. Accompanying them is the sister of one of the players, "Cherie" (Torie White) and Matt's girlfriend, "Krystal" (Nicole Rayburn). From then on it becomes a struggle for life and death for all concerned. At any rate, as others have already mentioned this is not a great movie. The acting is below average, and the plot is totally predictable. Still, it has plenty of decent action and some attractive women which adds some scenery, if nothing else. That said, even though everything has pretty much been done before and this movie doesn't really go over any new ground, it was still an okay movie. Not great, but okay. And while it certainly could have been better, I've definitely seen a lot worse.

Vomitron_G If "Decoys" was "Species" for horny teenagers, then "Candy Stripers" is "Decoys" for... Heck, I don't know. All I know is, I was kind of deeply disappointed with this one. The only thing it delivers, is some naked boobies from some extremely delicious babes, and some girl/girl kissing (which could be described as 'not your average kinda tongue-action'). Things that the movie fails to deliver: Good acting, tension, surprise-twists, great effects, good cinematography, and above all... a plot! Oh well, I've seen worse. Might be fun if you're in a very undemanding mood (in which I was when I saw it, so I don't regret the watch).

cyclone259 I knew from the DVD box art that I was in for a roller-coaster of pure, unadulterated abysmal acting and terrible special effects, but the promise of bare skin held my interest (somewhat).It's true, you take what you get with these 'films' and since I didn't hear any Oscar nods for 'Candy Stripers' I figured that this made-for-video horror fest was worth at least the $1.98 I paid to rent it. Do you ever wish you had your $1.98 back? The DVD promising voluptuous beauties panned out to an extent, but for all the nudity the former Playmates involved in this venture had done in their previous line of work, the 'adult activity' was lukewarm at best. It's not like anyone renting this thing didn't see the obvious tie-ins with sex, etc. and were instead renting it for the star power backing this project. Renters of this film asked for the nudity, gore and violence and instead were introduced with a flaccid production and really limp acting and storyline. I don't know why producers feel that because they have no budget that everything must suffer.SPOILERS AHEAD... SAVE YOUR $1.98 on a half gallon of gas...So what's the plot? OK... Aliens come to earth and infest 'beautiful' young candy striper's (hence the title) at a small hospital with the intent on breeding with every man in site in a plot to take over the earth. Anyway, the candy striper's have some kind of parasitic worm that breeds inside them and then they orally pass it along to other females (sounds promising? it's not). The whole hospital becomes infected and is quarantined with an 'unknown' virus. Did I mention that there's some dumb teenage jocks involved? In the end the infected females are killed by insulin injections because it seems like they have an overwhelming lust for not only breeding with the locals, they also LOVE sugar. One of the heroines of the film is diabetic and discovers that when she 'accidentally' injected one of the infected females that attacked her the people responsible for the post-production add-ons tack on some very, very cheap wave lens effects to the aliens and then they die. The heroes of the movie blow up the hospital in order to destroy the aliens and all those infected, but of course the ending is left wide-open for a sequel.I'm pretty sure there are much better "I'm here to breed with your men to take over the planet" plot lines out there... oh yeah... Species I, II and III.
