“If you like films that leave an impression on you – then youu0026#39;ll like this. I saw this for the first time when I was quite young, I think my dad wished heu0026#39;d known how weird it would get, or he probably wouldnu0026#39;t have let me watch it with him. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhilst there is a riotous strike going on outside the hospital there is weirdness going on inside, as an eccentric doctor performs some truly sadistic acts on his patients to fulfill his own ambitions.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIts full of faces any 30-plus British audience will recognise, and if youu0026#39;re an Orbital fan youu0026#39;ll love the speech at the end which they sampled for Snivilisation.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA cult black comedy, with some quite horrific bits in, its quintessentially British, but definitely not in the vain the Full Monty or Four Wedding (thank god!).”
