Visiting Hours

About This Movie

Visiting Hours, directed by Jean-Claude Lord, dives into a gritty atmosphere that’s both unsettling and claustrophobic. The narrative follows a ruthless, misogynistic killer fixated on a journalist who's lucky enough to survive his initial attack. The pacing is spot-on, gradually building tension as he stalks her through the hospital's sterile halls. What stands out are the practical effects that bring a raw edge to the horror—none of that over-CGI nonsense here. The performances are compelling, especially from the lead, who infuses her character with a resilience that feels authentic. It’s not just about the scares; there’s an undercurrent examining gender and vulnerability, giving it a unique twist in the slasher genre.
