ClownTown

I mean it wasn't no Rob zombie type of scary movie but it was definitely creepy it wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen either I don't know everybody's expecting but it wasn't that bad

Maybe if this film had capitalized on the creep clown sightings that were all the rage last year, this film might have had something. Instead, this is a slavishly formula slasher film in the mold of "The Hills Have Eyes," "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" or "Wrong Turn," except with clowns. Very low budget, but so were the first two films I mentioned and they are both arguably horror classics, but this film lacks Hills or Chainsaw's suspense, originality, or even good old fashioned scares. This horror film is strictly running and chasing and creepy clown imagery. The creepy clown imagery was enough to hold my attention, but just barely.

If you watch assault on precinct 13 and Texas chainsaw massacre and have no idea of how to write a script you could make your own clown town movie.

This could've been really scary had really high potential, but unfortunately it was just mediocre. OK... The clowns were scary. The characters were just mediocre acting. Had it had a better director or gotten into the hands of someone else it would've been really good. The plot was OK the storyline was, OK, but to be a lot stronger it was still kind of short, but this movie had a high potential to be a really good scary clown movie which I still think we need... "IT"just doesn't do it anymore. We need a new original horror movie when it comes to having fear of clowns and I think if the Director gets a hold of one, it could be a great horror movie.

Before watching it, I knew nothing about this movie. Just that people who liked movies I watched had liked it. I guess I was expecting it to be a Troma-type low budget gore fest but it was more, and somehow less at the same time. It had the look and feel of a big budget movie but the script and acting of a movie made by children. While they managed to get the hot girl naked and murdered before the opening credits, it wasn't so good after that. At one point a girl loses her phone. After driving for a long time they decide to call her phone and the guy who answers tells them to keep driving and make the next left and he will meet them there. And they do it! One thing that distinguished this from a Troma flick was the distinct lack of gore. We see the hot girl get killed by a machete that doesn't even cut through her shirt and then later we see one bloodless stabbing. Overall I'd have to say this movie is very average for the genre. Definitely worth watching once.
