The Bad Man

You have to know what to expect when watching these low budget movies. They are made with a passion for the genre using friends and or family to help with every aspect. With that said this is an excellent addition to Scott Schirmers catalogue. Ellie Church is amazing as always as were Jason and Arthur in their roles. This story is a sad one and probably happens in all parts of the world. Unless you understand exactly what it takes to put together a film, any film, regardless of quality, its tough to sit on a couch and just trash the effort. Kudos Schirmer and crew !!

Based on the synopsis I thought this was going to be pretty dreadful- and it did not disappoint at all.

I suppose you could call it a brave move for the filmmakers to work out their own, er.... "issues" in public like this, but I really wish they had'nt. It's a film without a single redeeming feature- the acting is poor, the writing execrable and- the worst crime of all- it's incredibly slow, repetitive and boring. I nearly said it was pretentious, but that would be unfair- it has no pretension to do anything than just exist It's like watching paint dry. It goes nowhere, because it has nowhere to go. It doesn't even have the guts to be truly offensive.

There must be jobs waiting tables that would be more satisfying than making this kind of dross. Probably going to pay better too

Would not be unfair to say I didn't like this much....

This film will stick with you after watching it. As my mind would wander at work the next day, I'd find myself thinking about it, as it had obviously gotten under my skin. The performances leave something with you that you will not easily shake. Arthur Cullipher is so dead on that you start to wonder how much is real and how much is really acting. I cannot wait to see what Scott Schirmer has up his sleeve next, because I'm not sure how he can top this film!

Nowadays with the revival of the killer clowns productions are trying to make money out of it. And let me say, some succeed and some, like this one doesn't. The story looked promising and even original. Bring in some kinky story with fetish, latex, SM and all that stuff and you do have a story...I thought.

Sadly this one fails bringing in the horror. It brings in the typical scary jump parts with the clown but once he does invade the home this flick drops down into a boring thing. Even as the clown is doing it's best to make it scary somehow it doesn't. What happens is in stead of having the heebee jeebees I became ridiculous and funny which wasn't intended. The horror just moves away after a while.

At the end with the rock, you will see, even that part is done off-camera to only show the result and even that is so wrong. Is that the only flesh left behind?

No, the bad man is more a joke.

Started off like it was gonna be good, but then 15 minutes into it it got really stoopid.

You have a guy in your house and you see him slinking around dressed as a clown but hen you dont do anything? REALLY???? Yeah. Let's go to sleep.

How stoopid.

Then 20 minutes into it, it becomes unwatchable.
