Reviews:
…Hospital balances itself between a curious visual game that, in the midst of classic and functional horror elements, takes the viewer to another place of interaction with the work; and certain incompetence that makes the experience limited, even weakening its metaphorical possibilities. It is interesting for bringing new elements or at least presenting variations of the same elements.” Cenas de Cinema [translated from Portuguese]

“The cast try their best, there is some nice camerawork hidden under all the deep dark lighting and, again, the concept is rife for some fun spooky goings-on but unfortunately Hospital buries it under cliché, sub-standard scares, and a jumbled narrative. Shame.1.5 out of 5, Far East Films
