Needlestick

While it may not have enough humor to be considered horror comedy, this is the type of movie that doesn't take itself seriously. Probably due to the low budget and inexperienced cast and crew, the whole thing looks like a YouTube video. A rather good YouTube video though.

It's not a slasher, it's barely horror. It's way more of a thriller, with some good character development that is never too complicated or too simple. It's done just right, there's some original dialogue and subplots (the romance aspect surely was interesting and more realistic than in most movies).

If this movie had been made in the 70's or 80's, it probably would've achieved the cult status by now. I don't think it has what it needs to be a classic, but it's definitely worth a check if you have an open mind.

Let's face it, the only reason I even decided to watch this film was because I noticed Lance Hennrikson was on the cover. There is never enough Lance in ones life so I decided to watch.

Unfortunately this film was advertised as a horror film, but for the majority of the film I felt like I was watching a poor ER soap opera. I really was hoping for more horror elements, but they were few and far between.

On a final note why does the suicide victim seem to always have perfect make up on even those she is chained down to the bed and the rest of the cast look they have none.

A real horror film! That is- a believable horror film, I am so tired of seeing ghosts coming out of mirrors, hands coming through walls, etc., etc. This is a horror film that one could actually believe could happen. This film was also shot in a real hospital and had enough chilling effects to it that it kept me on the edge of my seat for most of the film. I did find it confusing but amazingly, that just brought me back to watching it again and enjoying it even more the second time around. I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to see a real horror but also to anyone who isn't planning on going into a hospital anytime soon. Of course, the actors, Michael Traynor and Lance Henriksen are well known and the women, Alara Ceri and Katie Savoy, were definitely worth viewing.

Really enjoyed this movie, it's a horror flick with a plot that sets it apart from most horror movies. Set in a small hospital, Jack Henrikson plays a retiring head surgeon and brings the acting chops along with that great delirious laugh of his. Great supporting cast, well acted and some interesting ways to die/get killed.

Okay....so... this film is about some breakthru discovery that gets interrupted by a greedy administrator who just has to be dealt with by the breakthru discovery doctors!

-1 Star for being some big popular Heart Hospital or something there's like a total of 10 people in the whole place, and no one new appears to show up to the hospital which would be kinda odd in the course of every day business.....

-1 Star for once the chicanery begins, none of the victims or soon to be victims display much a sense of urgency to try to escape or to rectify the situation

This movie is not very well written. That's for sure.

-1 Star Oh BS....Girl survives the freezing .....so lame.....

And Mr. 'Do No Harm' Everett becomes a very bad boy!!!!!

Pretty much a real Stinker here....
