Visiting Hours Ratings & Reviews
Kevin Ward
July 3, 2025
Thought 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.
Patheos
Eve Tushnet
Jean-Claude Lord knows how to create tension in the stalk-and-fight scenes, but just cannot make it happen in the scenes where nobody's being hunted.
Daily Dead
Heather Wixson
While it may not do a lot for viewers looking for more of a gory, high-octane horror romp, Visiting Hours is truly an underrated slow-burn gem that deserves a watch, Ironside's performance alone making it a truly worthwhile experience.
Creative Loafing
Matt Brunson
For the most part, this is a routine slasher flick, although director Jean Claude Lord does display some occasional innovation in his shot selections.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
Even if the film is a washout, it's still massively intriguing to see the filmmakers and actors grapple with it.
TV Guide
This mindless slasher movie borrows unashamedly from better pictures like Peeping Tom and Psycho.
DVDTalk.com
Scott Weinberg
Clumsily directed, painfully paced, and all but entirely lacking in anything even remotely resembling atmosphere, dread, or simple ol' scariness.
FulvueDrive-in.com
Chuck O'Leary
One of the better slasher films of the early '80s thanks to Michael Ironside's menacing performance as the killer.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
An especially clumsy, overwrought example of slash-and-hack melodrama.
