Visiting Hours - The Cinema Snob

[@UndeadEggmiester]

Good old Micheal Ironside he is truly a inspiration villains everywhere.

To me, he IS Darkseid.

More slasher movies need Michael Ironside, Michael Ironside makes everything better

[@arthas640]

He's magical. Even his name sounds like something a from a gritty 80s or 90s B movie character would be named. Like an over the top gritty police detective who's names everyone either whispers in fear or screams in terror, like "oh God, it's DETECTIVE IRONSIDES! [cue Michael Ironsides punching his fist clean through a criminals torso]"

[@jeffreycoogan09]

''Visiting Hours'' is a classic. Michael Ironside was FREAKIN AWESOME!

[@fredkeeler1234]

One of Cinema's great villains

[@jacobmatthewcrawford2120]

0:53 I've been highlighted! While my pick didn't get selected, Visiting Hours (1982) made for a pretty entertaining episode! I'm actually a little surprised it didn't get reviewed sooner! As for William Shatner playing a serial killer... I'm surprised the Cinema Snob didn't bring up his role in Impulse (1974). It was one of the earliest Cinema Snob episode all the way back in 2007!

[@zackearl3200]

damn i didint realize hes been on here that long!

[@jbjacobs9514]

@@zackearl3200 He has been around FOREVER! He had different names over time on his channel.

Brad is awesome - I found him when Spoony featured a couple of videos on his old site.

[@JP-re9xj]

13:25 Love an obscure-ish Batman ''89 reference!

[@LammasuRex]

"sexist parrot" is the funniest bit Brad has ever done.

[@ferox965]

I was a kid when this came out. Being Canadian, this movie was everywhere. Great cast-Ironside is a badass. Love this flick-saw it when I was a kid and it scared the shit out of me.

[@Rando1975]

This was rather tame for a Video Nasty. According to Wikipedia, it wasn't released uncut in the UK till 2017. The poster/VHS cover was certainly memorable.

[@bryedtan]

Michael Ironside is a great actor he can usually project menacing yet also project authority he can portray either evil villains or a tough military figure you need to salute in authority. Recently I saw him in the film Nobody even if it is a supporting role he still does it with class.

[@JoeyJ0J0]

I am surprised this movie hasn't been remade but about internet content and the reaction it gets

[@holdingpattern245]

I suppose it would be nice if Shatner was the killer, but imagine if he and Ironside switched roles, pretty much everyone who saw the movie would wonder why this minor character was so much more terrifying than the actual killer.

[@Gideon13397]

Well he is the true face of Michael Myers after all 😏

[@Weazel1]

It’s amazing to think that this came out the same year as Wrath of Kahn.

[@OLBICHL]

3:12 I can almost see him grabbing the mic and screaming "KHAAAANDICE... stop debating and taking sides, dear!"

[@jimtatro6550]

I’ll watch anything with Michael Ironside

[@atsukorichards1675]

I agree, but I wish I didn't watch "Spacehunter:The Adventure in the Forbidden Zone".....

[@ianwatkinsmemes1751]

x2

[@shendruew]

Ah sweet, really liked this sort of TV horror. A cameo from William Shatner and Michael Ironside with a face that you know means he's gonna be the bad guy.. 😂

[@Malum09]

Gotta love how there’s a small number of Canadian actors and they always reoccur in any movie made up there.

[@aliciabruder1106]

Good to know this may be what my grandfather would’ve been like if he became a serial killer. The killer’s backstory nearly fits with my grandfather’s childhood to a tee. Its so weird but yet makes sense as my grandfather did have many undiagnosed mental health disorders, bipolar and sociopathy are most suspected. Also I would like to have seen Shatner is a killer role versus his good guy or cocky a-hole-ish roles.

[@JDelwynn]

I had a chance last week to watch a bunch of movies in theaters starring Michael Ironside WITH Michael Ironside, including Scanners and Total Recall. But of course I got the flu and never got the chance to meet him. FML...

[@noahalliston3838]

That information made me sorry for you by proxy. That would have been amazing man. I'm truly sorry you missed out on that.

[@WAMTAT]

Even more reasons to love Ironside

[@atsukorichards1675]

Yeah, I watched this just to see Mr. Ironside.

[@saltandprepper5024]

The emergency! Commercial got me lol

[@Artiyoum]

Great review, I hope that some day Snob will review Flesh Gordon movie from 1974.

[@sawg4607]

I actually thought this movie was too good for a funny review. I really enjoyed this one!

[@SnakeRoadComicsOfficial3677]

Glad to see you're reviewing some of the films in your 80's retrospective. Hope to see more. Fade To Black seems like a great choice.

[@LucyLioness100]

I would love a “Fade to Black” vid. That movie is a good love letter to cinema fans and the villain (an excellent performance from Dennis Christopher) is quite tragic

[@grapeshot]

1982 in my opinion one of the best years for 🎦

[@DestinyPifer]

Thank you for doing this movie! I remember it as a really good thriller!

[@ryanjavierortega8513]

Love these videos from the snob, hope he keeps finding classic horror slasher

[@Boogenhagen100]

Did 911 exist in 1982? Michael Ironside is the most underrated actor ever.

[@theotakux5959]

Oh, nice! I picked this to watch years ago at random from a list of Video Nasties, and ended up really liking it. Also didn't know Shatner was in the movie until I watched it. That was a surprise.

[@TheKevin546]

I showed this movie to my mom, she loved it. 😅

[@randycunningham7318]

Michael Ironside is one of those actors enjoyable to watch.

[@jbjacobs9514]

OMG thanks for the GH and Emergency commercials! I loved this when I saw it in the movies specifically because I just loved Ironside and his hamminess. He was blowing up at that time after Scanners - he was in a bunch of movies and of course, V. He was just a treasure to watch. LOL (Linda Purl was actually becoming pretty big at that time too). Thank you so much for doing this hilarious video, Snob! I would have a hard time choosing on the poll, but not for #1 Visiting Hours - my trouble choosing was from 2-7 choices. hehe Holy Shatner!

[@1ktermie]

The longer Cinema Snob goes on, the more his voice turns into Vic the Big Box Voice

[@knightnday10]

Good pick for a review. Thanks!

[@jacobdrolet4262]

Amazing

Ironside wasn't trying to kill her, he was just going to interrogate her about North Korean mass kernels...Lambert tells him to save the "5th freedom" for terrorists

[@tedpilledtonysoprano5512]

18:54 TFW you hear *"Sweet Jesus, Fisher! Mission's over!!"* too many times.

[@NostalgiaPodcastwithAmiel]

Lol awesomeness

[@PungiFungi]

Lee Grant took the role for the money so she could build a stone fence around her house and property thus increasing their value should she and her partner ever decided to sell it. In fact she confessed to taking any and all offers for the money, not because “it was an interesting part”.

[@benderbendingrodriguez420]

I love when Snob covers slashers

[@annnichols3091]

I watched so many slasher films in the 1980s. How did I miss this one???

[@redbandsteve6115]

Give us 1983 in film already. I just feel incomplete without it. Lol

[@jugghead82]

Looks like an Awesome movie plus it came out in 82 my birth year ☺

[@FreeCatCheese]

1st watch was at the drive in. People don't understand that Michael Ironside was this nightmare creature that could show up in your dreams, poke out your eyes and eat your soul if you were a kid from '82-'84...

[@randycunningham7318]

Up there with the other psychotic greats...Jack Nicholson, Anthony Perkins, Anthony Hopkins, Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, John Malkovich etc...

[@louisduarte8763]

d15:42 Well put, Brad. Just like what you and Doug said in the Black Christmas 2019 review.

[@davidthorson2036]

Visiting Hours, Eyes of a Stranger, Somebody’s Watching Me, The Last Seduction are the quadrilogy of the 80s female-TV-anchors-in-danger movies.

Im glad i could make a contribution to the review. Me and my wifes wedding photo brings back memories of a simpler and more innocent time. See 1:42 for reference.

[@LenHazell]

Shatner was the serial killer in "Impulse" 1974

[@darklordumbreon]

Man ironside's character is almost like a game of hitman lol

[@Gideon13397]

Exactly. This is a better adaptation than the real live action Hitman movies.

[@jongroskin729]

Ironside has never ever been bad.

[@mordaciousfilms]

Interesting cast! When I first saw this... I recognized the lead actress was Michael Scott's girlfriend (Pam's mom!) from THE OFFICE. It's got a weird vibe!

[@Phan211]

Man I remember watching this movie I was so disappointed it was awful. I was shocking to find out this was a cult classic. I feel like focusing on the killer is very risky. I compared this a lot to Maniac but this is a lot worse.

[@davebooshty299]

I am 54 nowadays and got to See this movie for Free in theaters thanks to a projectionist freind then , After rewatching This movie nowadays right after I got out of A real Hospital A 14 Day stay After A Heart attack , A triple bypass A New heart Valve put in and Diabetes 1 on march 4th 2021 to sum it up for me , I noticed this time how lack the security was in the hospital plus people can just wander around on dark floors of the place too? And anyone can do the laundry ? If Not Almost all Of The Hallways are all seemingly empty too ?

[@louisduarte8763]

honestly, I would like to see you do a review of Shatner in the movie impulse.

Wait. I’m not all the way through the review yet, but are they not gonna let Ironsides talk? 60% of the man’s intimidation factor is his voice!

[@Launchpad05]

Oh look, A movie referenced in the 'Superman 4' episode.

[@SwaggyG_2102]

Ah, the early 80s, A time when deranged serial killers could easily make their way into a hospital. Areas were less restrictive back then.

You can tell it's a Canadian movie...Half the actors are from Canadian TV.

[@firebladetenn6633]

I shall write a screenplay for a movie where Michael Ironside's character gets psychiatric help, and becomes an action star, while still having to deal with the consequences of his past.

[@thEannoyingE]

You don’t have to tell me Ironside was the villain, I kind of already figured he was.

[@ECKohns]

Still better than Black Christmas 2019.

[@Niinkai]

Was you putting the review's summary before the movie's finale a meta-joke? It fit the movie very well 😂

[@SpeedyEric1]

0:46- I was also hoping that movie would win the poll, because you stated in your 1982 in Film episode that it was behind Inchon of worst film of the year. 12:25- Either that or his character in Prom Night 2. 16:36- Yeah, the theatrical cut of Highlander 2 is really batshit stupid. 22:33- I'm just hoping that the 1960 movie you review doesn't make you wanna cheat on your wife.

This film is also Canadian too.. the shat and Michael Ironside are Canadian

[@ser6Ijvolk]

This was almost comedic: the guy kills everyone except the one person he was planning to kill. I think there's a plot for a goofy horror parody in there somewhere.

[@Avenger85438]

I'd say a number of films made today suffer from Internet speak and lectures. Not just those that deal with hot bottom topics like violence against woman, they just tend to be the most highlighted, by those who are, obliviously, just as guilty of using Internet speak and lectures.

[@fredkeeler1234]

Criminally understand horror film. Different from other slasher genre films in how the victims are adults, rather than oversexed teenagers, & the killer is not some nameless, faceless force of nature.
