A desperate woman enrolled in a secretive fertility trial is pressured into staying at the clinic when complications arise — but as her pregnancy accelerates and patients begin to disappear, no one will believe what she's seeing.
Synopsis
After three years and six failed rounds of IVF trying to have a baby, Kate and Jordan Russell enroll in a secretive fertility trial that promises what no one else could. It works, but when complications arise with her pregnancy, Kate is pressured to stay as an in-patient at the clinic.
Kate finds herself in a locked facility where pregnant women take the same blue pills, eat in enforced silence, and never ask questions. Her unease grows as Jordan gets a job out of town, her phone disappears and her pregnancy seems to accelerate. When Kate starts seeing tentacled creatures she has to break out of her isolation to tell people. And that's when her psychiatric history is weaponized against her, causing everyone to question her perception of reality — even Kate.
Why We Love This Project
Secret Monster loves the Gaslight vibe, Jacob's Ladder architecture and the Fight Club twist all housed in a streamlined pregnancy horror plot. Kate's growing isolation and uncertain reality provide an engine and create sustained psychological horror and the ending resolution lingers.
Immaculate turned a $9M budget into $35M worldwide, Huesera broke out of Tribeca to global critical acclaim. False Positive enticed viewers on Hulu. Pregnancy horror performs and The Clinic is poised to deliver.
Secret Monster — genre films prone to misbehave.
