Review of Clinical

Clinical (2017)
8/10
A surprisingly smart and enjoyable mystery/thriller
5 September 2017
'Clinical' was a very different film to what I expected going in. Based on the synopsis and then the opening scene I thought we were looking at more of a psychological horror. There are elements of that to it, but it would have to said it is more of a thriller than anything with a dash of mystery. The story manages to be both intriguing and captivating all at once. There are two stories being followed throughout the film and we the audience don't know whether they connect or not, and if so how. All this makes for a fun watch.

Vinessa Shaw in the lead role thoroughly impressed me. Halfway through the movie I had to look her up to see where I recognised her from. It was from 'The Hills Have Eyes' which I also quite enjoyed her performance in. The rest of the cast were surprisingly strong as well and all this made for a very pleasant viewing experience.

'Clinical' is exactly the type of film I like. It's daring, clever, doesn't insult its audience, and most of all it's a lot of fun to watch. I would certainly recommend watching this film if you get the chance.
