Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
An escaped killer practises medicine without consent, qualifications or a functioning ethical framework. Larry Drake's gleeful bedside manner powers this deliberately comic slasher, where almost every procedure comes with a medical pun that should itself require anaesthesia.
