Oscar winners Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne star in the Netflix psychological thriller The Good Nurse which is based on a true story.
Set in 2002 in a hospital in New Jersey, The Good Nurse unravels the story of ICU nurse Charles Cullen (Redmayne), who murdered a string of patients who came into the hospital without fatal injury or disease. While putting insulin in the saline bags of his victims, he befriends innocent night shift nurse Amy Loughren (Chastain).
Real-life nurses are leaving their reactions to The Good Nurse trailer (above) on YouTube, including: “As a nurse just remembering what the real guy did breaks my heart, it hurts us to lose a patient or see them declining & for him to do this purposefully is just sick.”
Another nurse said The Good Nurse story was “giving me nightmares,” and hoped that the film highlights the psychology of Cullen’s motives and how the system traumatized him, “rather than making him some sort of inconceivable bogey man.”
The Good Nurse will be available on Netflix beginning Wednesday, October 26.
