Not really a review but some more insider info.
The nursery and delivery room scenes were filmed on the third floor Labor and Delivery wing at St. Joseph's Hospital in Tucson AZ. I worked there at the time and one of the guys from my department played "Dr. Fairchild" as the delivery room doctor.
For a while after that, we would call the switchboard and ask them to page "Dr. Fairchild" to our phone number via the overhead paging. It became an insider joke.
It was hilarious to watch them film it as the hallway where they spend a long time running with the gurney is in the East basement and actually only about 30 feet long! They just kept cutting back and forth to make it seem so long.
The elevator that the gurney is seen coming out of is the East wing basement passenger elevator and there is no way a gurney will fit in it. They just held the door open and started pulling the gurney out and filming.
The old loading dock on the North side was the site for the "Tucson Memorial Hospital" sign seen at the beginning of the movie.
They were only allowed to film for two days and then the Catholic Sisters found out what the movie was about. They then asked the production company to leave and they did the rest of the hospital scenes in a rented hotel room in Tucson.
Bill, my co-worker who played "Dr Fairchild," had a copy of the script and we kept it in the department for a long time as we thought it was hilarious that a horror film was partially filmed in a Catholic hospital.
I had to go see it when it came out and it was great fun to remember those two days when they turned the hospital upside down with their filming.
Not a great movie but it was a "Larco Production" (Larry Cohen) and we made it a point to see anything else he produced for a while.
