Lee Grant stars as outspoken TV journalist Deborah Ballin, whose crusade against domestic violence enrages a creepy loner (Michael Ironside). He brutally attacks the anchorwoman in her home, but Ballin survives and is hospitalized. Her assailant is enraged; he is haunted by a horrific childhood trauma. He enjoys inflicting torture and slow death. And now he as hidden inside the hospital to finish what he started. Can anybody - including her concerned boss (William Shatner), a frantic nurse (Linda Purl), or Deborah herself - stop this psycho's killing spree before it reaches sick new extremes?

Visiting Hours is quite an average slasher movie, which can be proud of perhaps two peculiarities: Firstly, we already know who the killer is right from the start (the talented actor Michael Ironside was perfectly cast), and although his motivation to kill, as we gradually learn, is a real cliché, his character is entertaining, and mischievous audiences can root for him to some extent. Secondly, William Shatner, who was celebrating his success with the second Star Trek movie the same year, appears in one of the more forgettable supporting roles, apparently, he had talked himself into taking a tiny part in a Canadian horror thriller as an interesting diversion. I would probably not even call the relatively mild Visiting Hours a pure-blooded horror movie, and its presence on the "video nasties" list is almost incomprehensible, but of course, the idea of a psychopath murdering successful and emancipated women certainly turned the stomachs of many British censors.
