Hospital Horror
 

I don't know why, but I'm a total sucker for genre flicks set in a hospital/clinic enviroment. They just up the tension and I'd very much welcome the arrival of some lost movies like "Hospital Massacre"/"X Ray" on legit releases.:)

Exquisite Tenderness, Visiting Hours and above all ....Halloween 2!:cool:

Does anybody know some Italian exploiters making good use of the setting (apart from the obvious "Absurd" beginning and "The Beyond" finale?)?

Do you also have a faible for this sub-sub genre and how'd you rate the chances for digging up some lesser known entries and their arrival on the shiny disc?

HOSPITAL MASSACRE-SHAMELESS DVD-BARBI BENTON now there's a match made in heaven:DI can see almar thinking up the taglines and cover just now.....
What about brit themed HORROR HOSPITAL with Michael Gough?
I have the ELITE R0 NTSC release,but would definetly replace it with a yellow job!:)

Horror Hospital was a gem. Vipco released it in the mid-90's and then Sovereign a few years later. Surprisingly gory for its time though I always loved Haunted House Of Horror too.

It would be interesting to see how Visiting Hours would fare at the BBFC now (the cinema/video version lost over 1 min). I'm pretty sure it would pass uncut now. Sleazy as hell film but great performances from Grant & Ironside - and it even has The Shat in it. http://shameless-films.com/forums/im...es/biggrin.gif

Hospital Horror was a good film. I also liked Tower of Evil. For a British film it was gory for its day.

Death Line was another gory British gem.

"Mind The Doors" http://shameless-films.com/forums/im...es/biggrin.gif

Horror hospital with decent artwork...hmmmm.....very tasty...:D

I've never seen it but I'm pretty sure Coma is set in a hospital. Might be a bit more mainstream than you're looking for tho.

Who Killed Bambi is an interesting French hospital based chiller with the ever-awesome Laurent Lucas, playing a crazed Dr. who goes about drugging, raping and killing his patients... untill caught by one of his students! Uh oh.

The Lazarus Syndrome was horrifying, but in a whole different way ;)

"Let Sleeping Corpses Lie" aka "The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue" is an Spanish/Italian co-production which was shot in England and has a good amount of screen time in a hospital/morgue setting, with most of the remainder set in a cemetary. Good flick if you haven't seen it!

Great fun film. Once branded as one of those dreaded video nasties but long since uncut and now looks better than ever. The Anchor Bay DVD was worth getting for the superb booklet alone. http://shameless-films.com/forums/im...coolgleamA.gif

It should be noted that Anchor Bay are no longer issuing it with the booklet, that was a limited release only to the best of my knowledge. I have with that booklet and agree with vincenzo in that it's a superb read.

Another hospital based horror film is Andy Milligan's final called Surgikill (aka Screwball Hospital). Bloody awful film though, I've enjoyed every Milligan film I've seen apart from that one but then he only pointed and shot, other than that he had no other involvement unlike in all of his other films where was in control of everything. A curio all the same but still crap.

Yep, as far as I know all of the Anchor Bay editions are now OOP, but Blue Underground has just issued an excellent 2 disc edition with some new interviews and a new set of artwork w/slipcover! I've been proud to own that new edition for a few weeks now!

Blue Underground have a Blu-ray of LDATMM lined up so I'll wait for that. Everything seems to be going OOP these days, I can't keep up with it all.

Wow, LDAMM on Blu-Ray. I've been telling myself for a couple of years that I'm happy enough with standard-def DVDs that I'll never need to upgrade to hi-def, but now that the format wars are over and they're starting to put cool films like this out on BD, well, I might just have to change my mind! I guess we'll see what else gets put out before I decide.

Blue Underground are announcing their first batch of Blu-ray titles shortly so keep an eye on their website (www.blue-underground.com) and you might be in for a pleasant surprise or two.

Personally I won't be upgrading for a little while, I can even see me sticking with standard DVD for another 12-24 months, perhaps even longer. It's never been a better time to collect with everything going dirt cheap now, so cheap I keep buying and have a watch pile of over 250 films! Just a shame so much is going out of print.

hospital horror is a very good film.

Any chance of posting that artwork?

Balaguero's Fragile is a great hospital ghost story.

Definitely. I saw this a couple of weeks ago and loved it.

Exquisite Tenderness has always been a fave of mine since the vhs days.

Noted!!

Cold Prey II was pretty decent too.
