The Clinic

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.

When I picked this one up I was not looking forward to seeing it at all. I had just seen "Sutures" and I thought this was going to be along the same lines as that film. But I was Pleasantly surprised.

This film was pretty suspenseful. The story sucked me in pretty fast, I was interested to find out what was gunna happen to the main characters and how everything would be explained. However, as the film got closer to the end it slowly started to fall apart, and it all let up to a terrible ending.

The movie is worth watching for the simple fact that you will be very entertained up until the last 15 minutes or so, and there's a pretty good amount of gore so that should keep the gore hounds interested. Worth watching, just don't expect a great pay off.

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.

The movie started out well. A pregnant woman, Beth (Bethell) and her fiancé Cameron (Whitfield) are on their way to spend Christmas with their parents. They decided to spend the night in a motel since it's late. Cameron decided to buy them both takeaway food but realized the shop is closed. When he went back to the motel, he find that Beth is missing. On another part of the story, Beth wakes up in a bath tub full of ice naked and realized that her baby is taken from her. The story of survival to find her missing baby begins.

Everything to the nudity, violence, gore and profanity is perfect. The suspense was good enough for me to continue watching. The acting and the atmosphere to it was also good. This was the first time that I watch a movie with Tabrett Bethell and she was amazing. Everything was good until the ending. I kinda felt unsatisfied when I finished watching the movie. I expected something more from it, a lot more. And not that simple. Since everything before the ending is good, I gave the movie a 6. Overall it's a good movie for all the horror fans out there if you have an extra time on your hands.

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.
