The premise

A deranged, misogynistic killer assaults a journalist. When he discovers that she survived the attack, he follows her to the hospital to finish her off.

Horror Vault's take

When a brazen TV journalist becomes the target of a deeply disturbed, woman-hating killer, a single violent encounter sets off a relentless cat-and-mouse pursuit. Refusing to let his victim escape, the killer tracks her to the one place she should be safest — the hospital where she's recovering. Visiting Hours cranks up dread by trapping its protagonist in a sterile, confined environment where danger can walk through any door in scrubs. Michael Ironside delivers a chillingly cold performance as the stalker, making this Canadian slasher a cut above the era's typical genre fare.
