Intensive Care (film)

Intensive Care is a 1991 Dutch action horror film directed by Dorna van Rouveroy. It stars popular Flemish singer Koen Wauters in his second and final film role and Hollywood actor George Kennedy. While the movie wasnt a box office success it did develop a cult following over the decades due to it being hilariously bad and campy. It has been shown during the BelgianDutch Nacht van de Wansmaak film festival.

The film failed to make a huge profit, despite having the hugely popular teen idol Koen Wauters in the starring role, and was demolished by the critics. De Volkskrant reviewed it as A movie where every aspect goes so disastrously wrong that it almost seems like a parody. Yet it quickly gained a cult following due to its bad acting, unconvincing special effects, bad English pronunciation and a holeridden plot. The car accident that puts the surgeon into a coma has many unexplained explosions. When he awakes after seven years he is miraculously strong and able to attack other people. For reasons that are never explained the surgeon goes on a murdering spree and manages to survive numerous attacks that would horribly injure any normal person. To top it all off the actor who played him before the accident George Kennedy is now obviously replaced by a different actor, covered in bandages. In one of the most infamous scenes the girls boyfriend lies on the floor, bleeding due to stab wounds, which causes her to remark Moet ik een pleister voor je halen? Jeetje mina Translation Shall I get you a little bandaid? Golly gosh. The picture is traditionally shown during each edition of the DutchBelgian Bmovie festival Nacht van de Wansmaak and has frequently been called the worst Dutch movie ever. Due to this reputation it has been honored in the Hall of Shame of the festival.
