Sadly Over-hyped

Best movie ever!

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Computer Killers is bloody, campy, goofy, sleazy awesomeness. I originally found this film titled as Horror Hospital.I enjoyed the acting style because it is over the top and different from what we generally see today.The film takes place in only a few settings but the one I'm drawn too the most is the train early in the film. The two stranger meet in a simple way but their dialog made me want to laugh and wonder how and why it was chosen. This goes for most of the dialog throughout the film. It is strange, straightforward and wacky without completely going to crazy town.Overall, the film feels like a good combination of horror and comedy.I would watch this again, and I will be recommending it to friends. This film is a treat for 70's horror fan. It may be a bit hard to watch if you are not a hardcore horror watcher. If you are on the fence about seeking out this movie, I say go now!

Horror Hospital is a campy exploitation classic that has to be seen to be believed. Heart-throb of the day, Robin Askwith, known for his "Confessions of..." series of softcore pseudo-comedy romps that spawned an endless series of imitations, matches wits with Michael Gough, the man better known for his roles as the butler Alfred in Tim Burton's Batman movies.How can you go wrong with a "hospital" advertising "hairy holidays" - apparently all they needed to do to attract legions of hippies - and then lobotomising said legions to create an army of braindead automatons? Marvel at the mad doctor's most lethal weapon, a Rolls Royce with a retractable blade in the side that never fails to decapitate runaway hippies, complete with a sack next to it to catch the severed heads. There is also an inexplicable steaming pool of acid on the hospital grounds, where one of the doctor's "army" of motorbike thugs - who never take their helmets off, perhaps to hide the fact that they are always played by the same two people - meets his end. Was there ever a pool of acid in a movie that someone didn't fall into?This one is great fun, and a must see for fans of campy '70s schlock horror.

The first thing that intrigued me about "Horror Hospital" (also titled "Doctor Bloodbath") is that Michael Gough plays the lead role. Gough is best known as Alfred in the 1989-97 Batman movies (he also co-starred in "Horror of Dracula", "The Horse's Mouth" and "The Boys from Brazil", and even provided a voice in Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland"). Here he plays a doctor who performs a lot of unnecessary experiments on people.What I noticed while watching the movie was that the secondary character (Robin Askwith) was named Jason Jones. Jason Jones is one of the correspondents on "The Daily Show" (or was up to a point; I don't know if he's still on the show).Anyway, the movie isn't anything particularly special, but it's entertaining enough, with a scene or two that probably gave boys their first carnal experience. You'll probably enjoy it.

"Horror Hospital" is a great deal of fun, and worthy viewing for horror fans who can appreciate high camp. It's macabre, to be sure, but it's clearly never meant to be taken that seriously.Robin Askwith of various "Confessions" films plays Jason Jones, who's kicked out of a rock group and decides that he needs some R & R. At the suggestion of a friend, he checks out an outfit named "Hairy Holidays" (!), who offer as an option a trip to a health spa / country manor. Unfortunately a lot of ghoulish stuff goes down at this place, and it's all supervised by the demented Dr. Storm (Michael Gough). Accompanying Jason is new acquaintance Judy Peters (Vanessa Shaw), who's trying to connect with her Aunt Harris (Ellen Pollock), who works with the bad doctor. Also along for the ride are put upon dwarf Frederick (Skip Martin) and Abraham (Kurt Christian), who shows up at the place while "looking for his chick".With all of the elements thrown into this bloody brew, it would be hard NOT to have a good time with it. We get zombies (or, rather, people who've been rendered zombie-like), nefarious "bike boy" henchmen, a lethal and nifty decapitating limousine, and a mysterious pulpy monster hanging around the premises. The movie just gets right down to business and delivers some pretty priceless moments. It never really goes for credibility - who wouldn't want to leave a place the moment they saw a bloody bed? - instead opting for off the wall horror movie theatrics. It's just a hoot.And much of the cast does a fine job of playing things straight, with the exception of the delightful Mr. Gough, playing his villain with lip smacking gusto, and the hilarious Martin, who has one GREAT sequence where he has his work cut out for him as he tries to unlock a cell door. Askwith is lively and engaging, Shaw makes for a very appealing and attractive bird, and Christian has the best entrance in the film, as his first appearance is underscored by a peppy musical theme that he seems to be able to hear!The library music used for the score is thunderous stuff, while the rock song heard near the beginning is a riot. Decent doses of gore also help to spice things up, and things really get cooking for the climactic action.All in all, this comes recommended to genre buffs, and is truly deserving of more recognition.Seven out of 10.
