Rating: - Barbi Benton -- truly a scream queen to die for
Hospital Massacre is actually a pretty decent little horror movie, but we'll get to that. First, we have to talk about the film's star, Barbi Benton. Let's face it - what with the crazy disco look and the remnants of unwashed hippie fashion floating around, there just weren't that many good-looking women around in the 1970s and very early 1980s. Barbi Benton was one of the exceptions - even I knew that, dumb, cootie-fearing little kid that I was at the time. Nobody wore those short denim shorts ... Read More

I first saw this "classic" during a Horror Movie festival hosted at my house in 1986. Out of all the films that were shown that night. This movie is the one that stood out. You have to check your brain in at the door and enjoy the ride. Bad acting, hilarious story, and some of the most memorable lines in a horror film. Watching the killer breating heavily through the surgical mask after he kills his prey speaks volumes!
You can't take this movie seriously. It's not "Gone With The Wind" folks! ... Read More

"Hospital Massacre" is a pretty low aiming shot in the mid 1980's slasher stakes, and it has so many crappy moments in it that you should have a good laugh while watching it. Basically, glamour model Barbi Benton plays Susan Jeremy, a woman who pops into hospital for some routine test results only to find that she can't get out again. This is because a maniac with a serious grudge against her is blocking all escape routes and won't stop until he gets what he wants!
Rating: - A movie in need of intensive care.
'Hospital Massacre' (a.k.a. 'Be My Valentine, or Else!', 'X-ray', and 'Ward 13') was released in 1981. I originally saw this movie at the drive-in when it was released. Back then I used to go to the drive-in regularly during the Summer and would get to see three or four horror movies in one night. As you could well imagine quite a few of those movies were slasher flicks. Considering all the bad movies I saw at the drive-in, this one stands out. 'Hospital Massacre' was directed by Boaz Davidson ('The Last ... Read More
Rating: - Bad, bad, bad....
Yet another hospital slasher I got to see if it would be anything like "Halloween 2". The other had been "Visiting Hours", which sucked, but looks like Citizen Kane compared to this. "Hospitl Massacre" opens up with a pathetic flash-back scene, that is soppoused to take place in 1961, but everything looks exactly as if it were 1981. It's valentines day, and a boy and girl are playing with a train. All the while, another boy is watching them through a window. He has a thing for the girl, and leaves a valentine ... Read More
