The Clinic

This film manages to be quite entertaining, the cast is decent at acting, the main couple is really good looking, the drama scenes are good.. but it could have been more innovative. You know, you see bunch of things you've already seen in lots of other movies. It seems like they're repeating the same old story over and over.

I'm being generous by giving it a 7; for an indie non-US movie, "The Clinic" is satisfying and worth a watch, even thought the ending could have been a thousand times better.

And I have never heard about James Rabbitts, but his directing here is fine and much similar to a Hollywood one.

This is an interesting film. The writing is solid enough and the acting is fine. The biggest drawback for me was the score. It is overly emotional and often the emotion being displayed on screen by the actors was being overshadowed by the overly emotive score. There were several instances where silence would have been perfect, rather than the single female voice wordlessly singing notes, which was overly used to the point of exhaustion.

The story is interesting. It takes a little while to get going and when it hit's it's stride it is a steady jog rather than a sprint. However, this pacing suits the film as the relationships between the characters needs to be established for the film's premise to truly work.

You can see that this film took inspirations from others. One which immediately sprang to mind was the Saw franchise, although with no traps and much less gore. More a case of being placed in a situation with limited information available to you and having to survive. So I guess in that way it is more like Cube. Overall it is a film which I would recommend, however NOT if you are a pregnant woman!

I was completely enthralled by this film from beginning to end. The opening shots of the arid landscapes across rural Australia were just gorgeous and the two leads were casted perfectly. The film starts very similar to Jeepers Creepers and 2008's Aussie debacle RoadKill but quickly turns into something much more than that. We have a dilapidated motel on tap with a motel manager that looks eerily similar to Nick Nolte. Once the couple get to their room the real fun starts as the film makes a complete left turn and a turn that I didn't see coming. From here on the film belongs to the female leads as they struggle for survival. I will not give anything away here, all I am saying is watch this film. You will thank me later.

Not really worth seeing this film. Essentially, the film had a half decent plot for a horror movie however the movie's lack of charisma and intent which leads it down the pan.

You can tell that the movie wasn't made with much of a budget but the acting and selection was OK.

It's also a little disturbing and uncomfortable to watch as some scenes are just purely depressing and in more ways than one.

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

A poor film that leaves you bored and in no way entertained or interested at all.

There isn't one boring scene in this movie. This must have been a 'low budget' movie but the result is great. A couple is on their way to spend Christmas with their parents. They decide to stay a night in a motel. When the man unsuccessfully tries to buy a take away meal somewhere at Christmas eve he discovers his wife is missing when he returns to the motel. - It turns out this was all just a prelude to the real movie which starts when we see Beth waking up in 'the clinic' in a bath tub full with ice ( as on the movie poster ). Her baby is no longer with her. We follow Beth in her quest where she is, what happened and most of all: what happened to her baby? - Most horror movies are completely over the top. This one isn't it, unlikely perhaps, what happens to Beth in this movie could happen to a girl out there, who thinks she is safe. It is a horror movie so expect blood and violence but again, very realistic. I rate this movie as a seven which means I don't think this movie will disappoint you in any way.
