Kidnapping on a whole new level

The Clinic (2010)

A man and a pregnant wife travel across the outbacks of Australia, soon the wife goes missing and the man starts to look for her. But that's only the beginning, the real story is that the woman wakes up in an isolated "clinic" and finds out her baby is cut out of her. The focus is on the woman and after the somewhat heroic start with the man he is soon forgotten as the wife fights for her life and her baby. I have to admit that sounds quite great and was the reason I watched this one, but unfortunately as the story evolves and we find out what's going on it turns into a ridiculous nonsense. So the story is crap with a good set up. The acting is fairly ok on most parts, especially Tabrett Bethell did a good job as the wife. The pace is reasonably fast and the movie isn't exactly boring, but it's surely not scary or even menacing either. And that's the major problem, with the idiotic story of course, all of the good in this movie are balanced with the same amount of bad and that makes it just another horror flick.
