Fear Clinic (2014)

Fantastic!

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Dr Andover (horror legend Robert Englund) cures people's phobias using his Fear Chamber at his clinic. Naturally being a horror movie things go horribly wrong, with fear itself becoming a physical manifestation. At several points in the film characters state that they don't know what's happening. I felt the same. It does, however, all come together in the end, but if it were not for some OK acting & special effects then I'd have scored it less than 4/10. This is one clinic that I will not be revisiting!

I stumbled across Fear Clinic while searching for Fiona Dourif films, the reviews were so terrible I almost didn't bother watching. I noticed a lot of the other users said things like "terrible b- movie", "disappointing" and "pretty lame" but wondered why the great Robert Englund would participate in such a bad film so I decided to check it out despite the comments...I was so GLAD I did, this movie rocks!! I am proud to call myself an extreme horror buff and having seen almost every horror film ever made I can be a harsh critic, this film easily deserves 7 out of 10 stars. Not only does it star Mr. Robert Englund himself, it also showcased the fantastic acting skills of Fiona Dourif (daughter of the one and only Brad Dourif, the voice of Chucky himself) and Slipknot's Corey Taylor in his first movie role. I'll admit I was weary of Taylor's acting skills but remained optimistic, as it turns out he does not disappoint and the film even included his music and a Slipknot related Easter egg in one of the diner scenes, you'll know it when you see it. The special effects were great quality and the story line kept me hanging on until the very end. If you gave this film a bad review you should probably stick with Disney movies and leave the horror to the true fans of the genre, I strongly recommend giving this flick a chance and I assure you that you wont be disappointed.

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

I am going to get a rep on here for been a fair commentator on the future movies I watch, predominantly Horror Genre. Yes, this was a decent mind blowing movie. I love Fiona Dourif. She's so like her dad (looks wise) and not forgetting she's Chucky's step sister loll. Back to the movie in hand. Well, I won't give too much away here. Watch the movie and you will be feeling shaken by the end. Spoiler Alert. Ending is sad. Enjoy people. Not a memorable movie but it will keep you gripped from start to finish. I look forward to watching more of Fiona. And excited about Chucky 7. Another great movie to watch is Maggie with Arnold the Terminator dude.
