“Night Nurse” is a dark thriller debut from Georgia Bernstein, previewed through an official trailer released by IFC. The film stars Cemre Paksoy as Eleni, a newly hired nurse at a luxury retirement community. Sources describe the story as centering on deceit and psychological manipulation within the care setting, where caregiving roles blur into obsession and compulsion. The trailer and festival coverage link Eleni’s arrival to a pattern of scam activity targeting elderly residents, involving calls and schemes that draw her in. As Eleni becomes more entangled, other residents’ “mind games” and the intimate nature of caregiving intensify the tension, with the film presenting the relationship between vocation and coercion as a dangerous and hard-to-separate line.
Both outlets note that “Night Nurse” premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival. They also indicate the film’s upcoming release will be limited, with a planned theatrical run beginning in July. The cast is reported to include Paksoy, along with Bruce McKenzie and additional supporting actors, as presented in the trailer materials.
