X-Ray is a contemporary gothic thriller set in a city hospital. The Hospital itself is like an old castle constructed before the Middle Ages; it is large, cold(like the staff) and there are places inside, long forgotten yet still occupied, where you simply don't ever want to go. Susan Jeremy, played by Barbi Benton, has come to this Hospital for a routine examination but her physician, Dr. Jacobs, has unwittingly ventured into one of these unguarded areas and she becomes the first victim. The remainder of the film finds Susan trying her best to elude a killer who knows everything about the inside of this olde fortress...and about her. A disturbing ending for this movie, as well. Nine people(3 doctors, 3 nurses, a janitor, Susan's current boyfriend and a medical resident) are dead, yet there are no police vehicles or ambulances outside when Susan is greeted by her family in front of the hospital. The everyday normalcy without seen here disguises, perhaps, from public view a cruel mania within that one day will return with renewed malignancy? This could be any hospital. Your local hospital. Schizoid is entertaining but the final sequence really is absurd. The female members in the same psychotherapy group are being stalked and stabbed to death one-by-one. Their psychotherapist, Dr. Fales, is having sex with two of the them. One of these, Julie, is in denial about the strength of her emotion for Peter Fales and that this was the underlying motivation for her obtaining the divorce from her husband. Fales' daughter, Alison, is a prime candidate because she rightly blames her father for the disintegration of their family and, also, Alison has been sending menacing letters to the newspaper where Julie works. Peter Fales has been doing this for a long time and it has finally caught up with him. Fales is in a fight to the death with the real killer and, unbelievable as it may seem, Alison kills the murderer before he can kill Dr. Fales. Peter Fales did in fact steal the killer's wife and ruined his home as he has done countless times before. Furthermore, Dr. Fales neglected his own family for the sake of his libido, all of which only strengthened Alison's enmity toward him. Peter Fales is the real villain of this story; yet, Alison makes a total flip-flop here. It's a bewildering ending. Moving forward, I guess Julie will have her typewriter for company when Peter Fales chases after the girls in his next psychotherapy group. Bratty will resume pining away for having kept Doug from delivering the comeuppance that her father deserved. What Alison really wants is the undivided attention of her father. Sadly for her, Peter Fales is just too busy taking advantage of the confidence and trust that his patients have in him; too busy betraying the assurance of integrity conferred by his profession. Alison needs to forget about her father and find herself a boyfriend. Both films are presented in their original aspect ratio of 1.85:1 and in 4K Ultra HD enhanced with HDR. I highly recommend this one.Read full review
