Visiting Hours

It's tough to imagine but there was a time when Michael Ironside was a scary guy. That time was his entire life.

About as entertaining as visiting someone in the hospital. boom.

Ironside is perfect in this role, without a single doubt. The protaganist actress was ..... lacking. Corny delivery, and moments of stupidity that were out of her presented intelligent character, but most likely down to bad scene writing. It feels like a great and a terrible movie mushed together, with great elements, but several moments of "..........what? seriously?". The overall storyline is great though, in how things played out. Flawed, but good stuff.

Michael Ironside is properly creepy and the movie has some good moments. However the pace is a bit too slow and for some reason William Shatner keeps disappearing for long stretches of the film. The 80s had much better slasher movies than this one.

Although Ironside and the main actress are great, the movie drags for too long. It feels like at least 20 min could have been chopped off.

Horário de Visitas estreava há 40 anos na Irlanda. Nunca vou cantar o suficiente o meu desprezo por Slashers, eles me aborrecem profundamente, mas esse aqui pelo menos deixa claro que todo esse subgênero é um backlash contra o movimento feminista tal como seu protagonista. Box Versátil Slashers Volume 4.

Drawn out, tedious, & featuring quite possibly the dumbest slasher villain I've ever seen, this bumbling early-80's hospital horror makes X-Ray look like peak cinema by comparison. Despite featuring a really solid cast including Lee Grant, Michael Ironside, & somehow William Shatner, on top of a decent pro-feminist theme, this is still full of plot holes, questionable logic, & an ending that's about as underwhelming as possible. Worse than all that, though, it's awfully bland. Skip it.

Michael Ironside heart-throb? I'm not sure.

A decent, if unspectacular, slasher. It could maybe have done with more Shatner, who mercifully plays it straight, but the two female leads do a good job, and Ironside is genuinely menacing. There are a couple of quite nasty moments, a decent level of tension and it is pretty well made. The plotting and script aren't great, but this is a watchable entry in the slasher canon.
