Nude Celebs: Lisa Huynh -

What director Gilles Marchand was trying for in this 2003 French horror/thriller was a classy film about unspeakable acts. What he got was considerably less, but still an interesting if somewhat predictable and slow-moving film. Copious nudity didn't hurt, either, although elements of the plot are downright nasty.

Beautiful young nursing student Isabelle (are nursing students ever ugly in the movies? :-) meets Dr. Philipp when she starts experiencing dizziness. He's helpful but standoffish, and calls her Bambi because of her shaky legs. She fells strangely attracted to him, but he makes it obvious he isn't interested, calling her a slut. As things progress, young women recovering from surgery mysteriously "disappear" soon after surgery, apparently leaving on their own without being discharged.

To add to the hospital's problems, patients are waking up in the middle of surgery as if the anesthetic had been diluted, yet tests on the anesthetic used shows no apparent problem. On top of this, now nurses who are in charge of recovering surgery patients start disappearing, and Isabelle begins to suspect that Dr. Philipe is involved.

While I can't give more details without spoiling the whole movie, suffice to say it's a pretty decent thriller despite some dragging, and I stayed fairly interested throughout the film's 2 hours and 6 minutes.
