Australia

 

DEAD SLEEP-1990-In Australia, Maggie (Linda Blair) goes to work at a clinic called “Elysian Fields” where an idiot named Dr. Heckett (Tony Bonner) is using “deep sleep therapy” on his patients and is obviously mad. She spends most of the movie trying to prove he killed 51 patients. He tries to kill her but she escapes and proves him guilty. He drives his car off a cliff. 

This down under downer was directed by Alec Mills who was a camera operator on many big budgeted films including some with Roger Moore as James Bond.

Thanks for reading, eh!

Golan & Globus

 

X-RAY-1981-Susan Jeremy (Barbie Benton) walks around a hospital trying to get her check up results. Everyone acts very weird. Someone dressed as a surgeon kills a doctor and a janitor. An idiot doctor orders more tests and it seems Susan may being held against her will. Several more murders occur including her fiance. Later when she freaks out and is strapped down  and the killer (who is from her childhood) kidnaps her. Typical, cliched junk like most 80's Golan & Globus productions. Aka HOSPITAL MASSACRE, its director Boaz Davidson was involved in a lot of crap.

Nonsense

DARK FLOORS-2008-A nurse, a high strung guy, a security guard, a nutty guy and man with a semi-comatose daughter are trapped in a hospital. All the doctors and patients have disappeared and they are menaced by a strange apparition (it looks like Uncle Creepy from the black and white Warren comics). It all seems to be related to the daughter. A scaly monster bites the high strung guy's leg. Later the monster (which looks like The Predator dressed to go clubbing) kills some of them. Two survivors become "displaced" in time and eventually corpses come back to life. It's all Stephen King/David Lynch/J-horror inspired nonsense very drawn out and un-entertaining.

This Finland/Iceland co-production (in English) was directed by Pete Riski and features English actor Ronald Pickup and the Finnish rock group Lordi  (I like their song "Hard Rock Hallelujah") as most of the demons.
