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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
