Visiting Hours Movie Download

Ashamed that I had to visit..
After winning her Academy Award, Lee Grant got a lot of work to make up for those years when she was blacklisted. She’s fantastic. The film in which she is the lead is not, a repulsive and perverted story of a deranged stalker (a very creepy Michael Ironside) who is completely deranged and not at all fun to watch. He’s simply angered by Grant’s reporter doing a story on violence against women and decides she must pay.

There’s also William Shatner as her confidante and Linda Purl as her nurse, various patients and other nurses and women whom Ironside victimizes including a pickup he violently assaults. This is like a low-budget cable TV movie where similar situations were presented and leaves the female character in Jeopardy. When ironside is able to disguise himself as a hospital employee and gets into the operating room where Grant is prepped for surgery to fix what he did to her, the film does a disservice to the medical industry by indicating that just any psycho can walk into a hospital, grab a set of scrubs and go anywhere they want.

The saving grace in this film is not the tension that erupts with a psycho stalker around or the script or direction or supporting cast but the commanding Grant who never gave a bad performance regardless of how hideous the material was. You can root for her, and you can also fast-forward through the things that she is not in. That’s the only way I was able to make this movie without completely turning it off because as much as I disliked it, I wanted to see how the script had Grant get through this ordeal.Read More
