Synopsis

Thanks to an auto accident, a parasitic alien manages to get into a hospital. It quickly moves from the crash victim into a candy striper. Among the patients at the hospital are some rather short high school basketball players. It is through them that we watch the events unfold. The infected, or inhabited, candy striper becomes predatory. She goes after men for sex and after women to spread. Infected women develop an incredible sweet tooth and devour anything sweet they can find. The horror then spreads. As the horror takes over more of the hospital and the CDC locks it down, the basketball players and a few friends do everything they can to try and get out of the hospital. But soon it becomes evident that the problem has spread too far. Now if they manage to escape it will only be to delay the inevitable if they cannot halt the spread of aliens before they get out and take over the whole world.

LasKeepsItReal The movie starts with a teenage blind girl and her friend having a car accident, seemingly the blind girls friend dies and she is then taken to hospital. She has contracted an infection from some kind of alien seed. One of the candy stripers tries to help her stay alive but is also infected after they kiss. From then on the candy stripers are infecting each other, slaughtering people or trying to breed with several of the men in the hospital. They also like very sweet things but you will have to see to find out why! It is up to a group of high school students who become trapped within the hospital to try and put an end to the madness. This film does offer something most viewers would like to see:horror,nudity,gore and some comedy too. Don't expect to see a great film although for its budget i feel as though it worked well with a few likable characters, the way in which the candy stripers were killed was unusual and there is a scene where one of the main candy stripers transforms into an alien and shows her true self. Fairly predictable with a straight forward plot!My rating is 5 out of 10!
trashgang First of all, if you see this title then just don't pick it up if you think that you have found the 1978 version. This isn't really a remake but it takes place like the original one in a hospital. What we have here is a kind of SF horror flick but with a sauce of eroticism. Does it work, in some ways yes, there are some boobs in it, but it doesn't go any further (the 1978 was XXX). Is it frightening, no, it's one for the teenagers out there who's eyes will fall open by the boobs shown. We never see the monster, just some dildo kind one coming out of the girls mouth. The only out of space thing you will have is an alien's hand. The alien itself makes some kind of web but what we have is faces and people in those web, easy to see that the web was made of some snow spray for Christmas decoration. So it's in fact a bit cheesy and that's how you have to watch this flick. When killing the virus contained persons the effects used are very simple. It's low budget but somehow I kept entertained by it, would recommend it to teenagers.
Claudio Carvalho In a lonely road in Wucaipa, something attacks the driver of a car and her blind friend Tammy (Sarah Ball). They have a car accident; Tammy survives and is sent to the Wucaipa General Hospital. Meanwhile, a high school basketball team fights with the opponents in the square and the captain Matt (Brian Lloyd) with a broken leg, and his injured friends Joey (William Edwards Jr.) and Brian (Kevin Thomas Fee) are sent to the same hospital. Tammy is near death and asks the candy striper nurse Janine (Deanna Brooks) to kiss her. While kissing as a gesture of sympathy, an alien invades the mouth of Janine and infects her; she infects others nurses, clerks, doctors and patients, initiating an exponential virus outbreak in the hospital. Joey's sister Cherie (T. White) that has a crush on Matt stays with them in the hospital. When Joey is infected by a hot nurse during the night, he has webbing on the face and rush, and Matt asks Cherie to call his girlfriend Krystal (Nicole Rayburn) to help them to leave the hospital. But the place is under quarantine and the candy strippers need sugar to procreate a breed of alien.The B-movie "Candy Stripers" recalls those movies from the 50's, more specifically "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", but spiced with erotic scenes and really hot actresses, highlighting the playmate Deanna Brooks and the sexy good actress Nicole Rayburn of "Kisses and Caroms". The story is flawed, this low-budget movie is not the eighth wonder of the world and will not be nominated to the Oscar, but the IMDb User Rating is very unfair, maybe due to prejudice against the gorgeous and sexy playmates. I found "Candy Stripers" a very entertaining and funny film. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Hospital Macabro" ("Macabre Hospital")Note: On 16 August 2015, I saw this movie again.
Pet_Rock A blind girl (Sarah Ball) infected with an alien seed lies in a hospital bed, a candy striper (Deanna Brooks) watching her. "Give me a kiss" she asks and the candy striper, a little weirded out, gives this dying girl her last wish. While they kiss, an alien pops out her mouth and infects her as well. Now this candy striper infects the others (Monique Cooper, Eliza Swenson, Serria Tawan) and they go on a mission to either infect or kill the rest of the hospital, right as out heros (Brian Lloyd, William Edwards Jr., Kevin Thomas Fee, Nicole Rayburn, and Tori White) arrive.Okay, everyone here is pointing out the fact that Playboy bunnies are given starring roles in this movie. Sure, they're not so great at acting, but they surprise you with OK jobs and they do more than sex scenes (There's only 2).The special effects are pretty bad, even though I was satisfied with the aliens that pop out of the mouths and the last look at the alien in full form.It all has a sort of "Slither" type feel. Slither in a Hospital, if you will.A worthy entry to the "so bad it's good" pile!
