VISITING HOURS is about a TV newscaster named Deborah Ballin (Lee Grant), who catches the attention of a madman named Colt Hawker (Michael Ironside). Hawker watches as Ballin announces that an abused woman had been right to shoot her brutish husband in self-defense. Hawker takes offense, having lived through something similar as a child. So, he takes his foot-long switchblade and stalks the audacious anchor.
After failing to send Ballin to her eternal rest, Hawker must hunt her down in the hospital. This leads to many deaths, and a game of hide and seek between Hawker and the wounded Ballin, ala HALLOWEEN 2.
Ironside is very creepy in this movie! He plays his role like a raging beast, barely contained beneath a thin sheet of semi-normalcy. Ms. Grant's character is the strong woman who is injured, stalked, but unbowed.
Co-stars the inimitable William Shatner as Ballin's useless boss...
