‘Meet Sherri – for an evening of pleasure and terror’
Nurse Sherri is a 1978 American supernatural horror film directed by trash movie auteur Al Adamson (Brain of Blood; Horror of the Blood Monsters); Dracula vs. Frankenstein) from his own storyline.
The screenplay was by Michael Bockman and Greg Tittinger (both of whom were also editors) and it was produced by regular Adamson collaborator Sam Sherman (as ‘Mark Sherwood’) for his own Independent-International company.
The movie stars Geoffrey Land, Jill Jacobson (as Sherri), Marilyn Joi, Mary Kay Pass, Prentiss Moulden, Bill Roy, Erwin Fuller, J.C. Wells and Clay Foster.
In classic movie huckster manner, Nurse Sherri has also been released under a plethora of alternate titles, including The Possession of Nurse Sherri, Beyond the Living, Black Voodoo, Hands of Death, Hospital of Terror and Killer’s Curse.
Plot:
A nurse is possessed by an evil spirit, and proceeds to kill off the hospital’s patients…
Reviews:
“The performances was not as bad; it’s mostly the production values, which left a lot to be desired, such as the startlingly bad visual effects which accompany the actual possession, which looked more as if the print had been badly damaged in transit.” Trash City
“Make no mistake, Nurse Sherri is a bad movie. Really bad, in fact. So bad that if you’re a fan of no-budget schlock-fests with an extra helping of cheese, you may find a lot to like here. Adamson has created a film that is full of plot holes, laughable dialogue, awful padding, and horrible acting.” Horror Express
“… probably the most coherent of all of Sherman’s collaborations with the late director. It’s also one of the more compelling pieces of low budget schlock released at the time.” Monsters at Play

“Even though we, the audience, have known what is going on for most of the movie, it takes the other characters 45 mins to start getting a clue. Luckily, the movie starts strong and shows quite a bit of potential for having a good story. Unfortunately, it’s not to be as the next 40 minutes of the movie are nothing more than padding.” Horror and Sons
