“Visiting Hours” (1982) starring Lee Grant, William Shatner and Michael Ironside

Anyone else a fan of this Canadian slasher flick? Michael Ironside made a phenomenal psychopathic killer who is obsessed with killing off Lee Grant. It came out 4 months after Halloween 2, another slasher set in a Hospital, and is mostly forgotten in modern day. It’s actually better than H2, but that one had Michael Myers so there is that.

Fun fact- William Shatner desperately wanted the role of the killer and almost had it, but was told there was one last person to audition before they could cast him. That one person was Michael Ironside, who was immediately cast. Shatner then was cast as the love interest.

I slept on this movie for a long time but watched it last year and was impressed. It’s a solid entry in ‘80s slasher films. Lee Grant elevates every film she’s in, no matter the budget or genre. Full movie is on YouTube.
