SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

kosmasp Never watched the web series this is based on/off/spinned of. But there seems to be flashes that have snippets of that in them. I might be wrong about that, and if so they did a good editing job making people believe it was something from the past in this movie. Robert Englund is really good in this, as expected.The cast in general is pretty solid (no pun intended) and the gore effects are good too. Tension is OK and the movie has a twist or two along the way (though again, no idea if you'd be aware of anything if you have already seen the web series). There's one bit of nudity, if that's something you hate or are looking forward too, but in general it's about ... fear. Obviously, and the effect it can have on people - with a bit of a science fiction bit thrown in for good measure

quincytheodore For a low budget film, Fear Clinic respectably produces several good horrors, they even resemble high fantasy at times. However, aside from the fast introduction early on, the plot stutters with repetitive scenes and the actors' performances are too often flimsy. The concept and visual are decent enough, but the movie just feels that it loses momentum as it progresses and eventually doesn't conclude as strongly as it opens.Story follows a doctor who has made a method to deal with fears. He would put people inside a chamber and let them experience virtual enactment of said phobia. Problem arises after several people begin to see strange things even when they are not connected to the machine. The first act is arguably the best part, since it delivers a good hook and fast enough for people to invest in.Unfortunately, the plot suffers from awkward development. Scenes would feel jumbled and needlessly recurring, mostly because the editing is poor. After the initial build-up, the characters are interacting with the excitement of telemarketer or frantic over-the-top. It seems odd since there's barely any coherency between each scene, the characters' reactions appear to be unexpectedly random.For what it's worth, it has a few good moments. When the visual is accommodating, the thrill is presented admirably. A couple of events look like they belong to sci-fi or fantasy film, or even another higher quality production. It's unfortunate that the film only produce these instances briefly.Fear Clinic couples together decent concept and presentation, it's just not done consistent enough as it deteriorates anticlimactically.

MoviesReviews101 Story: Fear Clinic starts by Dr Andover (Englund) talking about fears and how he has come up with a cure to people's fears. We learn that after he got endless praise for his work we hear that something went wrong with his ideas. Move to a diner where a lone gun man bursts in on a killing spree which is just part of the experiment that the girl gets lost in. Moving forward a whole year we meet Sara (Dourif) who is student that during a blackout has her own nightmare about the gun man. Sara goes to the fear clinic in search for answers or a treatment for her fears from Dr Andover. With Andover not the same man it appears certain patients are having relapses and one of the patients died. Andover is full of regret for what happened to Paige and is very reluctant to let anyone use the chamber again. This doesn't stop Osborn (Terrell) going behind his back to set up the chamber to try and save another sick patient. Andover learns that what he had been working on has bought something back and created a substance that pushes people to reach newer more intense levels of fear. The third patient Blake (Dekker) gets bought in we learn that his fear is to do a real incident. Andover finally gives the machine another chance and the first patient is Blake, while things don't go bad they don't get any real answers. Each member of the study was all part of a restaurant shooting and each member is trying to get over the fear that has been created from the situation. A force is trying to get through to the real world by using the fears created by these people and the chamber Andover created. Fear Clinic takes us into a world where we see the characters already taken over by their fears but for now controlling them. We get to see how one event could change lives forever and how the affects will scar them for life. We also end up having to see how messing with science could lead people into trouble especially where no one thinks about side effects. The story follows the characters with all of these mixing together as they must learn to control the fear rather than run from it because we see fear take control and become real. The films uses psychological horror to get the most part over and though the jumps are easy you will be thinking about what happens for a while. (7/10) Actor Review Thomas Dekker: Blake a gunshot victim who was part of the clinic but this time he has started to improve after going into the chamber. Thomas does a solid job but spends half his screen time not in a working state but his character does hold some secrets. (6/10) Robert Englund: Dr Andover genius scientist who at one time was at once the leading name in scientific research but after his tests go wrong things take a turn for the worse, but this is his chance to redeem himself by saving these people. Robert does a solid job in a role that was going to gather the horror fans. (7/10) Fiona Dourif: Sara our heroine who is trying to get answers and seems to be the connection between everyone while she is trying to cure her own fear. Fiona continues to look like she might be a star of bigger and better things with this performance. (7/10) Support Cast: Fear Clinic has a supporting cast that includes patients, doctors and nurses who all help the story continue as most of them are who get affects most by whatever it is that is after them. Director Review: Robert Hall – Robert does a solid job creating a horror that makes you think. (7/10) Horror: Fear Clinic uses psychological horror making you think about what is happening with a couple of attempted jump scares. (7/10) Settings: Fear Clinic uses the setting of the clinic well putting our characters trapped and isolated. (8/10) Special Effects: Fear Clinic uses solid special effects especially with the twisted creature creation. (7/10) Suggestion: Fear Clinic is one for the horror fans to give a go to I think they will enjoy the way this film unfolds. (Horror Fans Watch) Best Part: The chamber secrets. Worst Part: I think a few too many things to ask about. Believability: No (0/10) Chances of Tears: No (0/10) Chances of Sequel: No Post Credits Scene: No Oscar Chances: No Budget: $1 Million Runtime: 1 Hour 35 Minutes Trivia: Corey Taylor's first film role Overall: Fear Clinic isn't the scariest of horror films out there but it will make you think so if you like that idea for horror you will like this. Rating 65

Ryan Draven McNamee First, I want to state I have never written a formal review on any movie however I watch movies daily, and if times allow twice a day if not more. I enjoy all films but mainly suspense/horror/Sci-fi and mystery. What drew me to watch this movie was the 100% the cast. The plot seemed funky and unrealistic but that's another point. As I stated before, I've seen a lot of films, so I see compare a lot. Warning: Spoilers! Movie takes place with a back story of undetermined number of patients(Survivors) have been cured from the fear from a horrific act of violence where a masked gunman enters a small town dinner and shoots it up, killing countless people. The survivors eventually start having their fears return and they can't function without having panic PTSD episodes. Plot: First, I cannot say this plot is anything original in the sense of "survivors coming together after dramatic experience." I immediately thought " O, this is like Final Destination." With that said, it does branch away from that scenario towards the end and has a completely different ending from what I was thinking. Each person added their own "factor" to what was the underline cause of the fear. I mentioned spoilers but I'm attempting to stay away from great spoilers. Acting:*Note, I'm only mentioning the actors worth mentioning in my person thoughts. Thomas Dekker. He was epic and enjoyed what he brought to the movie. Played the PTSD victim perfectly and convincingly (Spoiler). I would love to see him in more stuff. Robert Englund: As a fan from his work in the Freddy series, I can't say I was 100% sold on this character. Either I find it hard to see him be scary outside of Freddy or just seemed too staged, either way, Robert plays the Doctor that invented a machine that's supposed to cure phobias and the cliché "Doctor obsessed with one failure and questions his life's work and does unexplained things." Doesn't play well. Robert himself is an amazing actor and I enjoyed seeing him. Kevin Cage: First time ever noticing him in a film although he has been in a lot that I have seen. His character was awesome and he played it to the T. I liked him and his character. 10/10 Corey Taylor: As a HUGE Slipknot and Stone Sour fan and HUGE Corey Taylor fan of his bands, books, and just all around person and family, he as an actor seemed off, either from lack of acting or because I can't see him as an actor. I enjoyed when he yelled and screamed but everything else seemed like they just told Corey to say something fitting and he ad libbed the lines. Towards the end of the movie when he (spoiler) was freaking out, I think instead of whimpering into a ball, he should have been yelling and screaming and going nuts (like at his shows) and personally I wanted him to yell out "You can see California without Marlon Brando's eyes." But again, I will watch Corey do Opera or Soap drama movies just to watch Corey. He is amazing person, and I highly respect everything. All other actors, were just funky and hard to watch, and at times, dull.After reading you may wonder why I gave it a 7, and not anything lower, and it's simple. The sets were basic yet used realistic fears to get your blood pumping. Mirror images, flashing lights, loud noises, everything that we are normally fearful of is in this movie. I enjoyed this movie very much in the sense of "Hey, I'm scared of my closet at night." Or "I feel spiders crawling down my back" Kind of fears that this movie makes you feel. Now, for the major spoiler. No idea what happened at the end of the movie. I've re-watched it twice and I still have no idea. The evil demon thing is only real if you are awake? Is the movie trying to say that everyone is hallucinating it, and you can't hallucinate with your eyes shut? Was anything real? Was the killer making it up? Was he ever sick? So many questions! Makes me want more! 10/10 recommend but understand a 1 million dollar low budget film.
