Verdict on The Clinic
Recap
The movie follows a pregnant woman who is kidnapped and has her baby removed. She discovers other women who have been through the same and they must work together to uncover the truth. However, they are trapped and have more testing questions to answer.
Best Parts
The movie makes a big point to mention that it was set before DNA testing was created. That being said, the world we are thrown into has plenty of horror ideas behind the kidnap and removal of unborn children. The next stage becomes more of a battle to survive and see how far the mothers will go to know which child is theirs. It has a brutal factor in everything going on in the facility.
Worst Parts
The weaker side comes from a side story about Cameron trying to locate Beth. Most of it is routine, but every time we jump to his story, it diminishes the intensity of the mystery between the women.
Final Thoughts –The Clinic is a brutal battle to survive.
