Nurse Sherri

Nurse Sherri is a 1977 American supernatural horror film directed by Al Adamson and starring Jill Jacobson, Geoffrey Land, and Marilyn Joi. Produced and distributed by Independent-International Pictures,[1] the film's plot follows a nurse who becomes possessed by the spirit of a vengeful cult leader who died in the hospital where she works. ("Reanhauer," the name of the cult leader character, appears to have been derived from Margaret L. Reinauer, who presided over the real-life cult The Circle of Friends.) The film is also known under such titles as The Possession of Nurse Sherri and Black Voodoo,[2][3] as well as Beyond the Living, Hospital of Terror, Killer's Curse, and Hands of Death.[4]
