Critic Reviews

Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena
Ironside traz grande intensidade para um personagem que merecia um filme melhor. Já Grant e Shatner, no piloto automático, se perdem em um filme canalha que se entrega à apologia da 'justiça com as próprias mãos'.
Scott Weinberg, DVDTalk.com
Clumsily directed, painfully paced, and all but entirely lacking in anything even remotely resembling atmosphere, dread, or simple ol' scariness.
Steve "Uncle Creepy" Barton, Dread Central
Visiting Hours is a must for horror fans and slasher buffs. It plays no worse for wear than it did in 1982, and its scares still pack punch.
Chuck O'Leary, FulvueDrive-in.com
One of the better slasher films of the early '80s thanks to Michael Ironside's menacing performance as the killer.

An average horror movie, predictable, and pretty boring for the majority of the film.
