Where to Watch Visiting Hours
- Kevin WardJuly 3, 2025Thought Michael Ironside was effectively terrifying as far as unmasked, non-deformed slasher villains go. This has to be the earliest Ironside flick I’ve seen of his. This is also a surprisingly progressive slasher from 1982. (Were nurses really all still wearing the white dress uniform in 1982, though? I feel like I’ve only ever seen scrubs, but maybe that changed a little later). William Shatner’s role felt very inconsequential given his star power at that time. Overall, liked the premise and it was a pretty solid watch.
