Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Intensive Care is a 1991 Dutch slasher film directed by Dorna van Rouveroy, starring George Kennedy, Koen Wauters, and Nada van Nie.The plot is as follows - somewhere in Washington state, a brilliant surgeon named Dr. Bruckner (George Kennedy) is on the verge of a revolutionary new advancement in medical science when he is involved in a car accident that leaves him severely burned and puts him into a coma for seven years. Upon reawakening, he goes on a murderous rampage, killing several hospital staff before fleeing into the night. He then stalks a teenage girl named Amy (Nada van Nie), her brother Bobby (Michiel Hess), and her boyfriend Peter (Koen Wauters), and repeatedly attempts to break into her house while the others try to fence him off.Despite the presence of Wauters (a popular Idol Singer at the time) and Kennedy, the film ultimately failed to make a profit and was utterly demolished by critics, with one major newspaper describing it as, "A movie where every aspect goes so disastrously wrong that it almost seems like a parody." It has since developed a cult following akin to The Room or Plan 9 from Outer Space, and is traditionally shown during each edition the annual Dutch-Flemish B-Movie festival Nacht van de Wansmaak ("Night of Repulsion").Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

Body Horror: In addition to third-degree burns on at least 90 percent of his body, it's implied that Bruckner's time in a coma may have messed up his brain functions. | |

Dull Surprise | |
| Intensive Care / int_c1b2c63f | comment |
Dull Surprise: A lot of the cast members seem to be operating on cruise control, with Wauters standing out in particular due to his lack of acting experience, having appeared in only one other film prior to shooting. | |

Artistic License – Geography | |
| Intensive Care / int_e9f517e1 | comment |
Artistic License – Geography: Due to being set in America but very obviously filmed in the Netherlands, many of the regional details are a bit off. Most notably, there are numerous examples of untranslated Dutch-language signs and labels throughout the film. | |

Artistic License – Cars | |
| Intensive Care / int_eea06f9a | comment |
Artistic License – Cars: A specific consequence of the blatant California Doubling is the appearance of cars that are either not sold in America (such as an Opel Rekord E) or are sold there under different brand names than in Europe (such as a Honda Legend, sold as an Acura in North America). | |
