I don't know what it is, but movies based in a hospital really creep me out (see Hospital Massacre aka X-Ray). It seems the only place where you are truly helpless. I'm also having a few brews, which helps :) Anyone have any similar movies which fit this vibe?

Not really a movie but one of my favorites that fits into this idea is the 1994 Danish miniseries called Riget and it's 1997 sequel Riget II AKA The Kingdom and The Kingdom II. This is was later remade in the US as Stephen King's Kingdom Hospital but that lacked the creepiness that the original held. If you happen to find either of these hope you can find it in the original Danish language with subtitles cause it adds to the creepiness.

Personally I like mental institutions.  Boogeyman 2 (2007), The Dead Pit, Madhouse and Shadow Puppets are all favorites.

Speaking of mental institutions...

Up the airy mountain,down the rushy glen
We darent go a hunting
for fear of little men.
Wee folk,good folk,trooping all together
green jacket,red cap,and white owl's feather
down along the rocky shore some make their home
They live on crispy pancakes of yellow tide foam
Some in the reeds of the black mountain lake
With frogs for their watch dogs all night awake


High on the hilltop the old king sits
He's now so old and grey he's nigh lost his wits
With a bridge of white mist Columbkill he crosses
On his statley journeys
from Slieveleague to Rosses

Or going up with music on cold starry nights
To sup with the Quenn of gay northern lights.

They stole little Bridget for seven years long
When she came down again her freinds were all gone.
They took lightly back between the light and morrow
They thought she was fast asleep but she was dead with sorrow
They have kept her ever since deep within the lake
On a bed of flag leaves,watching till she wakes

By the craggy hillside through the mosses bare
They have planted thorn trees for pleasure here and there
Is any man so daring to dig them up in spite?
He shall find the thornies set in his bed at night

Up the airy mountain,Down the rushy glen
We darent go a hunting
for fear of little men.

The creepiest hospital scene I've ever seen is in JACOB'S LADDER.

Session 9 was very creepy to me, a good understated film lots of atmosphere. The original Van Trier's Kingdom is excellent as well good call meQal. I haven't seen the second series yet.

The Devil's Chair is another more recent one, but it is not that good.
