Where to Watch The Clinic
- jackmeatOctober 5, 2025My quick rating - 5.8/10. Seems to be a "baby" theme going on here. In this movie, a couple (Tabrett Bethell & Andy Whitfield, respectively) are traveling across the state to visit her parents. Well, of course, she is pregnant, and en route, they are cut off the road by a truck. Well, when they get back on the road, they decide to call it a day and stay overnight, on Christmas Eve, at some dive motel. Well, he decides to go out and get Chinese, and when he returns (no Chinese), his wife, Beth, is missing, just a note on the pillow that we don't get to see. Well, quick cut scene to where she wakes up in a strange room in a tub full of ice. As she comes to, she realizes she has been treated to that old kidnap and c-section gag (mommies may not be big fans of this movie). As she stumbles out of the room, she passes other rooms with tubs in them, and she knows she isn't alone. In her attempt to escape the "warehouse" type area, she finds a locked gate and no way out. When she passes out, she awakens to 3 other women helping take care of her, all with telltale c-section blood stains on their clothes. So with no way out, they elect to find the babies after they find another woman bleeding to death, who says her baby was "blue." So off they go until they split up, of course, and one of the girls (a mute) is attacked and killed, but is able to snap a photo of her murderer, and it is another victim (they all wear tops that have roman numerals on them). So now, aside from not knowing why they are there, they must survive a crazy one of them stalking the 3 remaining surrogate parents. The typical "hunted" scenario here is used for the tension, but the movie does a very good job of keeping you wondering why this is all happening. As it moves along, little clues present themselves, which I will let you unravel; it isn't rocket science, but it is better to let the movie show you. I enjoyed the pacing of this movie and not allow the budget to hamper a well-made and presented film. The acting was very believable for an unknown cast (at least to me, you Aussies may know them since this was made in New South Wales, home of all the crazies). The movie did not use gore to keep the tension, but just used blood when it was appropriate. Oh, the husband part of the story, off trying to find her after she disappears, utilizing the assaulting a police officer method and stealing his car. He ends up beating the location of where the women are taken from the guy at the motel, but on the way there, he runs over a trap of spikes that were set up on the road and flips his car, assumed dead. I won't say if he is or not, but that is the last you see of him. An original idea that did end in a bit of a surprise. Just a very well-written movie that should be seen. I would recommend this one if you run across it.
