Stevieboy666 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!

melissalunsford 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.

ersinkdotcom Director / Writer Robert Hall gives fans of Robert Englund another impressive movie to add to their collection with "Fear Clinic." Based on the renowned web series, the concept carries over to a feature length film magnificently. I was first exposed to the excellent talent of filmmaker Hall at a screening of his new slasher classic "Laid to Rest." With his latest endeavor in terror, he far surpasses that simple, yet genre-bending work of art.In "Fear Clinic," five people with incurable phobias seek treatment in a machine that animates their fears. Unbeknownst to them, the machine's operator harbors an entity which feeds on terror.Robert Englund proves once again that his acting abilities stretch much further than what many expect from the man who created the character of Freddy Krueger in one of the most popular horror franchises in the cinema history. His role in "Fear Clinic" dares the audience to not have sympathy for him as he strives to rescue the human race from the terrors they suffer from. The rest of the cast are visibly invested in their parts as well."Fear Clinic" is rated R for bloody horror violence, disturbing images, language and some sexuality/nudity. Many of the dream sequences and flashbacks feature hallucinatory cinematography and choppy editing that give the viewer a sense of anxiety. It's nowhere near as graphic and gory as the "Laid to Rest" movies.Robert Hall has given horror fans a unique and engaging journey into the heart of our most dreaded nightmares. It's hard to compare "Fear Clinic" to any other movies out there. Imagine the artful abstract imagery from "The Cell" blended with a Lovecraftian creature feature and you'll halfway have an idea of what to expect. It also uses a familiar scenario which is becoming disturbingly more and more commonplace as its foundation.

Kolobos51 Fear Clinic, loosely based on a series of shorts that appeared on the now defunct Fearnet, stars horror legend Robert Englund in his best role in years as a once celebrated doctor obsessed with curing humans of fear. But when an early, seemingly successful test group comprised of traumatized survivors of a mass shooting begins to not only regress but get worse, he begins to seriously doubt the validity and even safety of his methods.However, this doesn't stop his test groups' faith in him. They all return to his clinic for further treatment, being locked up in a weird, sensory deprivation tank and forced to face their fears. But something evil, even supernatural, is lurking in the abyss he thrusts his patients into. It is fear itself, hence the title.Feart Itself is fairly above average for low budget horror, but you really have to be patient with it. In fact, I have to say the filmmaker, the man behind the middling Laid to Rest movies, requests an unreasonable amount of patience from his viewers. It does not help that movie's production design is atrocious, all neon green lights and phony looking scientific equipment that reminds of the worst elements of 80's horror.That's the bad part. The good part is that movie has a really good cast behind it. Robert Englund, in a role very different from his mad scientist portrayal in the original Fear Itself series, does a really good job as the benevolent but uncertain doctor. The female lead, Fiona Dourif (who was last seen costarring with her father Brad Dourif in Curse of Chucky) is an outstanding and unconventional horror heroine, more believably smart and capable than most of the female leads in these types of movies. Thomas Dekker also does a fantastic job portraying a troubled young man with a traumatic brain injury. Rounding out the cast are mostly adequate, if not entirely impressive, supporting players like Kevin Gage (Strangeland, Heat) as a crotchety maintenance man, Corey Taylor (that's right, the lead singer of Slipknot and Stone Sour in his first film, and he probably shouldn't quit his day job) as the hotheaded chief orderly, and several vaguely familiar actors as the other patients.The cast, along with a really solid third act that includes a genuinely surprising twist and some cool creature FX from Robert Kurtzman, make this worth watching for horror fans, but just barely. The movie has major pacing problems, a weak first half, and can never overcome its low budget trappings but it shows glimmers of promise from almost everyone involved making this a more or less entertaining, watchable low budget horror movie.
