Review of Fear Clinic (2014) by Stef T — 05 Apr 2016
Been wanting to see this for some time.
Some interesting conceptual ideas based around previously unexplored aspects of psychology which could have been explored more thoroughly if it was a mini\-series rather than a stand alone feature. On the plus side there were some good, committed performances from both the legendary Robert Englund and from Fiona Dourif (i.e. Brad's little girl).
My one complaint was that director Robert Hall didn't do nearly enough with Corey Taylor. Thanks to Slipknot, the dude was a Horror icon long before he started acting but really wasn't given enough material to work with. It was pretty cool seeing him rock out to his own music on the car radio in a rare though enjoyable self-reflexive moment, but he was never truly given the chance to fully explore his range of emotions. Instead, he was given some bland comic relief-come-jerk character who really didn't do all that much (sort of like Leigh Whannell in 'The Conjuring' films).
Meh! I shouldn't complain. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson barely had any screen time in Mummy Returns and now he's a leading man, so I don't know...some day I guess. :-/.
