The Clinic

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.

Not only is the movie full of plot holes, it leaves loose ends all over the place. And what the hell are herds of live cows doing in a factory that is supposed to be abandoned?

The characters just seem to wander around aimlessly and get killed off one by one (wow, that is sure a new plot line..). They cannot seem to protect themselves in any way, even though an abundance of possible weapons are lying around all over. Overall, I get the feeling that a lot of the wrong parts were edited out of the movie.

In short, this movie is only worth watching at 2 am when your only other choice is watching vacuum cleaner infomercials.

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.

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.

THE CLINIC – CATCH IT ( B- ) Set in 1970s Australia, The Clinic is a very unusual tale of kidnapped pregnant women who are trapped and look for their new born babies. The whole take on a complicated concept is really good and throughout it keeps you engaging. There were few things I didn't like in the movie and I thought it could have been better. For example, I didn't like was how Andy Whitfield's character ends up. Not for a second it seemed like he will wind up like this. It seemed like he refuse to shoot more scenes. Besides that the screenplay could have been little tight. Performance wise Andy Whitfield didn't get much scope, though he was the first reason I end up watching "The Clinic'. Tabrett Bethell as a leading lady is really good and keeps us invested. Overall, a decent Aussie thriller with engaging unusual story. P.S rumor has it, its inspired by true events.
