A creepy but overwrought thriller based on Robin Cook's novel about a doctor in a Boston hospital who becomes suspicious when young, healthy patients start to come out of surgeries comatose. Look at it this way: If you ever find yourself being wheeled down to the OR for an emergency appendectomy, better hope you actually need the procedure, and that the doctor wielding the scalpel is not Richard Widmark.
