1982 was a good year for horror, and Visiting Hours - starring Michael Ironside, Lee Grant and William Shatner - continues that trend. Michael Ironside plays a silent, demented, crafty and relentless killer who has a fondness for praying on women in hospitals. According to Kevin Nickelson, Joe Flynn, and Al Omega Visiting Hours was not an easy film to sit through in 1982 due to the subject matter for the times, and William Shatner's role was criticized as being too campy and overblown. Regardless of its detractors Visiting Hours is a tense cat and mouse story worth the price of a rental.
