We've been waiting for 1970s zombie movies to get gory and sexy, but (with the gruesome exception of 1971's I DRINK YOUR BLOOD) it's been a relatively tame decade so far. But no longer! HORROR HOSPITAL has everything we expected the 70s to offer: violence, nudity, and that overall vibe of tastelessness that defines the exploitation cinema of the Disco Era. John, Andy, and Producer Brad take a vacation to a decaying gothic manor to answer the biggest question on their minds: does Great Britain's national healthcare cover lobotomies, decapitation, and zombification?
