Clinical (2017)
I actually liked this 90s throwback but....

Warning: Spoilers
Great big SPOILERS ahead

Vinessa Shaw and Kevin Rahm were excellent and despite the budgetary constraints it was a good little movie until the lack of ending.

What killed Alex? Having his skin ripped off? Why did he sit on the sofa to die?

When Jane escaped the hospital there was no-one to see her leave? No secondary door? Why was her therapist at her house to be killed? How did Alex get Clara to come over?

Cant help but feel this movies twist would've been far better if Alex hadn't been raping his daughter. If Jane's own problems and shoddy work had influenced the girl to think her father was assaulting her when he wasnt and so he was seeking revenge but as it was, he was just a 2 dimensional creepy incestuous freak who was seeking retribution for some (deserved and then some) facial disfigurement.

He faked his death and changed his name? When? He had his daughter discharged half way into the movie so why fake his death and change his name when he was already seeing Jane? He also didnt ever say his surname so why change that?

Its annoying how some simple rewrites, an extra draft and some proofreading would've made this such a good thriller.

The writer and director owe so much to the actors in this movie as it would've utterly fallen apart without them
