Visiting Hours is a 1982 horror film starring Michael Ironside, Lee Grant, Linda Purl, William Shatner and Lenore Zann. It was directed by Jean-Claude Lord and written by Brian Taggert. Deborah Ballin , a feminist activist, inspires the wrath of misogynistic psychopath and serial killer Colt Hawker on a TV talk show. He attacks her, but she survives and is sent to County General Hospital. Hawker begins stalking her. Deborah befriends nurse Sheila Munroe , who admires her devotion to women's rights. Hawker murders an elderly patient and a nurse. He overhears Sheila's opinions on Deborah and... "that bastard" who attacked her. Hawker decides to focus his attention on Sheila, stalking her and her children at home. Hawker courts a young punk girl named Lisa , then brutally beats, tortures, and rapes her. The next day, Deborah discovers that the patient and nurse have been killed, so she suspects her attacker is back to finish the job. She tries to convince her boss, Gary Baylor , and Sheila that she is not safe, but both think she is simply paranoid.
