Rise of the Ghosts, Evil Nurse Shreds Coeds

From Canada we have a horror film devoid of humor, wit, or anything else that will provide a diversion to the ominousness and darkness that is thrown at us.  The film was made by Sv Bell, who was one of my first Twitter (now X) buddies.  In 2013 when I joined the medium to post reviews, he was my first moviemaker follower. He has been gone from the medium ever since, but I found one of his films!  Today we take a look at the grim "Rise of the Ghosts" from 2007.

Many years ago an evil nurse (Melantha Blackthorne) murdered a whole bunch of girls at an all girls school.  She tortured them, cut them up, made them do lewd sex acts on one another, and kept their souls. Sure, a metaphor for so-called higher education here in the States, today. Sarah (Christine Ghawi) is a babe who's sister Veronica (Alison Louder) was murdered by the nurse. Now Sarah wants to break into the school and free all the souls which are still in captive in the basement. To do this she relies on four friends, all useless, except for Jared (Robert Araujo)...who is a hunk. She and Jared, joined by bestie Liz (Kimberley Dawn Hugman) and her pal Jessica (Magenta Baribeau) go seek the assistance of paranormal idiot Ethan (Joseph Taylor). Ethan is an expert on the old school and the evil nurse who dwells there.  More important, he has a hot sister, Carol (Suzi Lorraine) who will join them.

Okay, do the names of these stars sound like stripper names? The newly formed gang follow the inept Ethan into the house and are immediately preyed upon by ghosts of the murdered girls, which are under the control of the nurse. The nurse appears and she is evil.  Her fingers are pointy syringes filled with something. Sarah and Veronica's backstory is revealed and it is relevant, you'll see.  One by one the ghosts get the team members. Sadly, the demise of Carol is extra gory...ick.  Veronica as a ghost is able to give Sarah a hint on what she needs to do.  Not being at all bright, Sarah is slow on the uptake.  More gory carnage results.

Will Sarah emerge from the haunted and condemned school building...alive?  Will someone give Ethan the best selling book Paranormal Investigations for Dummies?  Will Sarah be able to free the captured souls of the coeds, or will she become one of them?  Grim, and gory, all the way, see "Rise of the Ghosts," and check out more of Sv Bell's films.
