Visiting Hours, is a strong adult themed film with an intense violent undercurrent. The killer is menacing and stalks and torments his victims with sadistic relish. The scenes of violence are protracted and while not overly graphic for the most part compared to many other slasher\thriller films........this one dwells on the victims reactions to what is happening to them, making the violence perpetrated have a realistic feel.

There is a sequence that contains a sexually violent nature and could be disturbing to some.

The killer is a misogynist and hates women. This attitude could upset some viewers .

The direction of the film is intense and has very little humor. It can have you feeling that there is a knife waiting around every corner.
