Plot

The anthology's framing device features Michael Ironside as the sadistic Dr. Daniel Marcus who has chosen to interview a series of patients whose psychoses he believes sort of previously experienced trauma causes. Dr. Paul Victor (Jack Plotnick) permits him to interview six patients who all match his requirements, leaving the orderlies Shane (Drew Fonteiro) and Kyle (Rane Jameson) to follow his orders.

Marcus then proceeds to trigger each patient's fears through some element of their past, causing them to panic and relate their story through the flashbacks, each of which is related through one of the segments. He dismisses each patient with sharp, cruel rebukes of what he claims are their 'fake' psychoses.

After summoning all six patients, Marcus steps into the hallway to discover Shane and Kyle dead. He is hit over the head by one of the patients he tormented and wakes up in a straitjacket, surrounded by the patients who he has been tormenting. Just as he's killed, he suddenly jerks awake, revealing that Marcus is the titular seventh patient, with Dr. Victor revealed to be his doctor. After relating a story of his own, Marcus is mocked by Victor the same way he mocked the 'patients' in his hallucination, but when Victor turns his back, Marcus attacks and breaks his neck. Picking up Victor's glasses, he says that it's "Time to make his rounds" before proceeding to go on a killing spree through the institution.
