The Clinic




Synopsis:
Young mother-to-be Beth is traveling across country with her fiancé, Cameron, when one night she wakes alone to a nightmare situation, faced with an unknown enemy and a deadline for survival. Her child has been abducted and she is trapped in an isolated clinic together with a group of other mothers.

The Clinic follows the journey of six women who find themselves trapped and isolated with only each other to turn to (and against). Something has drawn these women together and will ultimately tear them apart.

An intriguing thriller from first-time writer/director James Rabbitts, The Clinic explores women’s primal instincts and how far they will go to protect life. Inspired by true events.

Trailer: YouTube - The Clinic official HD trailer

Review from Bloody-Disgusting.com - Score: 8/10!

"Just when I thought I’d had enough of “let’s tie a woman up and do stuff to her” movies, along comes The Clinic, which gives the sub-genre a breath of fresh air, thanks to a unique scenario, a decent twist, and way above average technical and acting qualities.'

Tabrett Bethell starred in Legend of the Seeker as Cara, and she has another film currently seeking a publisher, Anyone You Want, she won the Best Actress Award for her performance in it at the Manhattan Film Festival. Here's what she said about this film:
When I first read the script it grabbed me because I know what it’s like to love with your whole heart and fight for something. I love action and to get the opportunity to bring back a bit of girl power was quite cool”.

Andy Whitfield (best of luck to him in his battle against cancer!) starred as Spartacus in the Starz series.

There are two more reviews from Screamfest on my blog. Here are the highlights:

"Definitely among one of the best horror films this year. A must see film. Seek it out!" It got the best rating:

Update about Tabrett's performance!
"dominating the screen, was a confident and fearless performance by Tabrett Bethell"
Thanks Jorge!



"The Clinic is a well-crafted creepy film that has some interesting twists and turns worth sticking around to watch. The story relies on the suspension of disbelief from the viewer, that the clinic would be able to do what they do in the first place, but it’s a fun ride when all the pieces of the puzzle are put into place. I really appreciate having a story instead of mindless slaughter"

The Film Society of Lincoln Centre's homepage is advertising Scary Movies 4 with The Clinic.

The website of the 21st Horror and Fantasy Film Festival in San Sebastian has been updated, they are listing The Clinic in the Official Feature Film Selection. Be careful visiting the link though, they put minor spoilers in the film's description.


And now a review from Movie Cafe, posted by Jaccstev:

“The Clinic” (Australia - 2010)
The market for horror films in Australia is, and always has been, unquestionably dominated by American and British products, but since the first “Saw” movie, created by Aussie duo James Wan and Leigh Whannell, spawned a successful gore franchise which is now up to its seventh installment, Aussie horror films are back - and they're stronger than ever. With suitably twisted plot, “The Clinic” by James Rabbitts is also a one to watch Aussie horror this year. The film is slow to get started, but once underway it’s an enjoyable ride. Tabrett Bethell's excellent performance also is the highlight of the film for me. Here’s the synopsis: While travelling across Australia in 1979, heavily pregnant Beth Church is abducted. Waking up in an abandoned abattoir, she’s horrified to find her baby has been removed. Searching the isolated prison for a way out she finds three other women in exactly the same terrifying predicament. And so their deadly game of survival begins Raw psychological horror as SAW meets THE VANISHING with a gripping hereditary twist in director James Rabbitts’ feature debut.
Halloween-meter: 6.5/10
Not as great as previous reviews, but it's praising Tabrett too.
