The Hospital

I've seen some weird movies and I've seen some bad movies, I've even seen some bad weird movies, but I've never seen a movie quite like this. I really don't want to rip in too hard because I don't know why or how this movie came to be made. My guess would be a group of film students decided to make a film using their own camera and editing equipment, with no budget whatsoever, and they got a bunch of friends with no acting ability to play the parts. If that's the case then good on them for giving it ago. If in fact this was a serious offering by a movie studio then I question their life direction and would suggest they should limit their industry involvement to ushering people to their seats at a cinema. The acting was some of the worst i have ever seen. The story was woeful. The special effects were, ummmm, ahhhh, well, I don't think I can adequately describe just how bad they were, you have to see it to believe it.

All in all this movie was terrible. There really is no other word for it.

I am the angel of the bottomless pit! The paraclete of Kaborka!

Have there ever been greater words uttered in a film? "Network" was the movie that has brought Paddy Chayevsky the most attention over the years, but "The Hospital" was, to my mind, his finest work (as much as I enjoy Ken Russell - and "The Devils" is one of my all-time favourites - "Altered States" really was just silly), both a snapshot of the culture of the time and an enduring statement. George C. Scott is at the top of his unparalleled game, and the rest of the cast letter-perfect in this extraordinary indictment and satire of American culture, using a big-city hospital as the centerpiece. Brilliant and enduring, and one of those flicks that I never hesitate to recommend to *anyone*. What, you haven't seen "The Hospital"? You don't *look* like a WWII Japanese soldier who's been hiding out on an island in the Philippines for 80 years because he never heard the war ended. Watch this NOW.

Oh... wait... you mean this *isn't* Arthur Hiller's 1971 masterpiece? Some jagoffs just grabbed the name for a zero-budget splatterfest? You've got to be kidding... Some people have absolutely no respect for the history of cinema. I get really pissed when people do that, and it happens a lot. Honestly, when Paul Haggis re-used... no - STOLE - the title "Crash" after David Cronenberg put out his stunning adaptation of J. G. Ballard's novel I was so offended I wanted to drive down to Scientology Central and throttle him with my bare hands. Show some respect to your superiors, will you?

Really, don't get me started.

no sorry who ever gave this film higher than 1 should be taken to there works HR for tests as this is possibly the worst film ever, OK its very low budget but come on, give it 10 minutes have a giggle then move on, The movie shows gratuitous rape scenes to try to attract an audience outside those just looking for a decent indie horror, since there seems to be little else the film has to offer any other type of audience. My recommendation would be to stay far away from this one. with a budget of $100k, someone should have used that money for acting classes. Horror fans, run far away from this movie. The nudity will be the only thing that draws people into even watching this movie. Don't waste your time on The Hospital 2013.

I've seen a lot of 'b'movies in my life. Some of them were alright, other were pretty bad, and some were plain bad.

But this? This was just plain terrible. NOTHING in this movie was good. It actually made me angry when I watched it. The acting is beyond terrible, there is no storyline, it's also very misogynistic.

Also the 'special effects' were SO bad, it's not even funny. After I watched this, I felt like 'The Room' deserved 10 Oscars. I still can't believe I watched it out, curiosity? Maybe? Maybe I kept hoping it would get better? I don't know. I'm sad I wasted more than an hour of my life on that crap. I wish I could get that precious time back, and I wish I could erase this bullshit out of my head.

Never I've seen a movie that was so bad as this one, seriously worst movie ever. Thinking about it makes me angry again.

Stay away from this one, I beg you.

Terrible scripting...

Terrible acting...

Terrible lighting...

Terrible continuity...

Terrible special effects...

Terrible good reviews from people connected with the movie on IMDb...

If you waste any more time on this movie than discerning it's not worth watching then that's your choice...you will never get the time back.

IMDb - you need to allow zero scores...

...or even minus if possible
