Go to ER after seeing this..., 16 February 1999
1/10
Author: D Throat from Hilversum, Holland

I don't know what it is with these hospital-horror flicks, but they are almost all bad. Extreme measures, etc, etc. Of course one could have known after seeing Knight Moves by the same director, that this was gonna be bad. If they put Malcolm McDowell second or third in the opening credits and you have another warning nowadays. You'd better watch Coma instead, at least that one is good.
