Not the best, but not the worst either
Clinical sits firmly between horror and thriller, but the horror elements were the better parts.
The opening scene is a good intro to the movie. It sets a horror narrative and is a little creepy. For a while after the film slows right down and at times suffers from some ropey acting and pacing issues.
That said, the lead actress is consistently good throughout.
There are some interesting scenes and a few creepy moments that just about keep the movie from becoming boring, and then comes the twist which I didn't see coming. I really liked it, It was a genuine surprise and a good horror moment with a clever reveal.
Sadly, the movie then stays in horror mode and becomes a bit predictable and generic.
It's definitely not a bad film, but it fails at too many things to be really good.
Just Average 5/10.
