Fear Clinic is an upcoming 2014 feature film by Robert Green Hall, based upon the web series of the same name.[1] The movie, which was partially funded through crowdsourcing, stars Robert Englund as a psychiatrist that tries to cure phobias by using extreme methods.[2] The film received its world premiere on 22 October 2014 at the Screamfest Film Festival.[3]
Synopsis
After a tragedy shatters their lives and leaves them with crippling phobias, five people decide to seek treatment through Dr. Andover (Robert Englund) and his "Fear Chamber". In this device the patients are put into complete isolation and must face their worst fears in various nightmarish hallucinations. The patients eventually leave Andover's care, only to return a year later when they find that their phobias are still present. However even as the patients ready themselves to re-enter Andover's machine, the doctor begins to wonder if there is something more sinister working through his creation.

Production
In 2011 Hall announced that he was interested in creating a feature length version of the webseries.[4] The movie would expand upon the basic story of the original series and bring back Englund, Danielle Harris and Lucas Till. The original Fear Clinic had in fact been intended as a feature length film, entitled Fear Chamber, but was turned into a shorter episodic format.[5] Hall raised part of the funding for this film by using the fundraising site Indiegogo,[6] and actress Fiona Dourif and Slipknot's Corey Taylor were confirmed to be performing in the film. Harris and Kane Hodder, initially intended to reprise their roles, later withdrew from the project.[7]
Filming began in Medina, Ohio during December 2013 at a former nursing home and a local diner.[8][9] Of the film's script, Hall commented that it would be darker and more surreal in tone than the web series.[10] Shortly after Fear Clinic moved into post-production, the distribution rights were picked up by Anchor Bay Entertainment and it released in October 2014.[11]
