Investigative television journalist Deborah Balin (Lee Grant) falls foul of a mentally deranged viewer and is brutally attacked in her home. Her friendly news show producer, Gary Baylor (William Shatner), takes her to hospital, where a dedicated nurse, Sheila Munroe (Linda Purl), cares for her.
Deborah soon discovers, however, that her horrifying ordeal is far from over; it’s only just beginning.
Lurking in a darkened corridor near Deborah’s room is the psychopath who attacked her, a man called Colt Hawker (Michael Ironside, looking like a slightly overweight Jack Nicholson).
Deborah’s recent broadcast triggered a painful memory from his unhappy childhood, and now he intends to kill her.
It is not his intention that she should die easily. He is prowling with a six-inch blade and a camera to capture the agony on her face during the diabolically gruesome murder he has planned for her.
Canadian-made Visiting Hours gave Lee Grant another chance to display the dramatic talents that won her an Academy Award for Shampoo (1975) and nominations for The Landlord(1970) and Voyage of the Damned (1976).
