Anchor Bay Acquires Fear Clinic Movie

Filming recently wrapped on Fear Clinic and word out of Sundance is that Anchor Bay Films has acquired the movie. According to THR, the acquisition deal includes theatrical, VOD, digital, and Blu-ray/DVD rights. A release date has not yet been set, but it's expected to be out in late 2014.

“Fear Clinic began as a 2009 horror series for FearNet that consisted of five episodes starring up-and-coming talent like Lucas Till (X-Men: First Class) and Kate Nauta (Transporter 2) as well as horror icons Danielle Harris (Halloween 4), Lisa Wilcox (A Nightmare on Elm Street 4) and Kane Hodder (Jason Voorhees). The series and upcoming film stars Robert Englund as Dr. Andover, a fear doctor who treats patients afflicted with crippling phobias by inducing hallucinations inside his exposure therapy invention; The Fear Chamber. It has since been added to On Demand and mainstream channels Youtube and Hulu.

The project has been in active development for a feature film, written by Robert Hall and Aaron Drane. The story has seen a shift from the series, however; instead of the episodic nature of the original show, the film will focus on a variety of phobias that all stem from one traumatic event.”

Fear Clinic stars Robert Englund, Fiona Dourif, Thomas Dekker, Kevin Gage, Cleopatra Coleman, Angelina Armani, Corey Taylor, Felisha Terrell, and Brandon Beemer.
