Our take
Night Nurse is an indie erotic thriller about a new nurse drawn into scam calls targeting residents of a luxury retirement community and her unsettling bond with a patient. Critics describe mind games, elder exploitation, and erotic tension without conventional sex scenes. No U.S. rating is listed; content suits mature viewers due to predatory themes and psychological discomfort
Story (may spoil tone)
