Review of X-Ray

X-Ray (1981)
1/10
Frustrating to watch

Warning: Spoilers
This is just an attempt to cash in on the slasher genre that was so popular at the time, but this movie was difficult to watch.

It was a very weak storyline, poor acting, and parts of the movie just had me wondering who would think any part of it was believable.

May contain spoilers- A woman goes into hospital to get some medical results required for a promotion. The doctors see something on her x rays that are quite serious, and force her to stay. One doctor has her sitting naked on a table while taking her blood pressure. I realize that nudity was a must in that type of film, but no woman would just sit there naked while some sleazy doctor does things that don't require a patient to be undressed. He makes her stay in what appears to be a psychiatric ward, and no explanation is given to her regarding her mystery diagnosis, and she doesn't even really ask! She is treated terribly by the doctor and nurses, and forced to stay like she is mental patient that has been involuntarily committed.

It is frustrating to watch as none of it really makes a lot of sense and is just so unrealistic.

I honestly don't know how this has a rating higher than about 3 on IMDB. I wish I could give it zero.
