Review of Hospital Massacre (1981) by Tim S — 06 Aug 2013
X-Ray (AKA Hospital Massacre, AKA Be My Valentine, or Else, AKA Ward 13) is another one of those long lost and forgotten 80's slashers that didn't get a decent release on DVD and is now about to be brought back into the light, thanks to Shout! Factory's Scream Factory label.
The movie is a very mediocre slasher with some things that don't make a lot of sense. The lead actress, Barbi Benton, is a very poor actress and her screaming doesn't help matters much. She was a Playboy superstar in those days, so that's most likely why she was chosen for the role.
The movie is also very predictable, but it does have a few fun moments. I do have to say though that I have never heard people breathing so hard in a movie before, to the point where it almost comes off comical.
Regardless, it's a mediocre slasher movie and fans of the genre will most likely eat it up upon release. Horror fans with finer tastes may not dig it as much though.
