We see The Sci-Fi Christian, in all its iterations, as being about the collision between faith and nerdom. We believe that good genre fiction is about more than just entertainment. We seek to engage with the themes and philosophies behind our favorite stories, wrestling with the big ideas within speculative fiction. We’re unabashedly nerdy and unabashedly Christian. Even if your faith background differs from ours, we look forward to interacting with you at The Sci-Fi Christian!

In this episode, the Retro Movie Geek crew is joined by Rick Patterson (find more from Rick here & here), and they’re geeking out over Visiting Hours (1982) and
- good writing
- how dark the story is
- Michael Ironside
- violence
- and much, much more!
Synopsis:
An eerie silence blankets the corridors of a major medical center. One woman lies awake in her hospital bed, totally consumed with relentless terror. For within the confines of the seemingly secure hospital stalks a killer… fiercely determined to brutally punish her.
This sets the frightening premise for Visiting Hours, a gripping suspense thriller that explores a whole new dimension in spine-chilling terror.
Lee Grant stars as Deborah Ballin, an outspoken television journalist who is brutally attacked in her home after delivering a scathing editorial on women’s rights. Ballin soon discovers her nightmare is far from over, as her assailant, and would-be-executioner (Michael Ironside) lurks in the darkened corridor waiting for the chance to finish the sinister job he started.
