The Clinic is an Australian horror movie about a pregnant woman getting kidnapped in an abandoned hotel being defrauted of her baby. It becomes crystal clear that there are further victims and that all of them are part of a gruesome "game" pretty soon. Meanwhile, her boyfriend has to deal with local hillbillies. Fortunately, all that isn't being presented as a taboo breaching splatter flick but comes along with decent acting, an appealing production and a creepy atmosphere (but in a good, scary, suspenseful way). An insiders' tip even though it has its length and some weird twists, particularly in the second half.

The Australian Original Version has been released with delay in August 2011 and wasn't rated (Unrated). In addition to that, an R-Rated Version has been released as well. It can be spotted easily because it has an entirely different cover with the two leading actors on it whereas the Unrated Version works with the alleged original motive with the wound and stitches. Furthermore, almost 2.5 min have been removed. Basically, lots of harmless shots of the naked chest right after the treatment have been cut out. Moreover, some tiny gore scenes have been removed here and there. The movie doesn't live off stuff like that but the censored R-Rated Version ought to be ignored anyway, that's sure.
