Movie Reviews of Visiting Hours
Movie Review: Not worth the time
Summary: 2 Stars
What a load of malarkey. Pure, unspoiled, unadulterated, malarkey.
When a popular news reporter makes comments in regards to wives acting out against abusive spouses, it triggers a connection with a killer who attempts to murder her. After he fails to complete the job, she is rushed to the hospital where he continues to stalk her (and slay a few other random patients while he's at it).
While Visiting hours may be crafted in the mold of a slasher movie, it's really more of a thriller, and a pretty dull one at that. The storyline is very unfocused as it shifts between the killer stalking the reporter, and also as he stalks the nurse taking care of her for some unexplained reason. In addition to that, there are simply too many breaches of logic here to take this movie seriously. A murderer casually roaming the hospital picking off patients is just a bit too much to believe, not to mention he enters the hospital to do this on three or four separate occassions. Visiting Hours also plays on people's fear of hospitals by painting a cold, ominous, and sterile picture of a health care setting. In essence, not only have the film makers created a crummy, third rate horror movie, they've also managed to incorporate their jaded views on hospitals into it. No small feat.
Visiting Hours may be well acted and well made, but it's dull, predictable to the core, and is far too drawn out to maintain any suspense or excitement. If hospital horror just happens to be your thing, I highly recommend Halloween II (1981). An American horror classic, and one of the very best of its class. Leave Visiting Hours in the bargain bin where it belongs.
Movie Review: visiting hours dvd
Summary: 1 Stars
I have just received a new copy of this movie and it was not the same movie I saw in 1975/81. The original movie was very suspenseful and was much more gory and bloody than this apparent remake was.
Most of the movie was involved in the hospital, but in evening hours with Lee Grant listening and hearing the bell around his neck and he continued to butcher most of the hospital personnel.
Like I said it was very gory and a good slasher flick. I do not know how this revised copy ever made it to the DVD market. I am deeply disappointed and I believe that all sellers of this movie should make a separate statement to indicate that this is a REVISION of the original movie.
If you are interested in this movie, please try to find the orignal uncut version. I have a copy in VHS and it is extremely good.

i can't believe that they got money to make this "movie"(i use that term loosly). the plot has more holes than you can count and the worst excuse for a reason to start a killing spree that i have ever seen. not even worth the price of a rental. just long and slow. you have been warned!
