Gingerclown

Even after I realized this wasn't going to be even a B movie I still tried. The acting is over the top. This is what happens when foreigners think the know what Americans act like... Not even worth watching for Tim Curry bcs he basically wasn't there.

Gingerclown didn't even look like a clown. The effects were poor. The acting was poor. The ending was bizarre. The beginning of the film was the best bit because it was funny in how bad it was. The rest wasn't even laughably bad, it was just god awful.

This movie...

It was like a bad train wreck. I knew I shouldn't look, I really didn't want to keep looking, but I just couldn't tear my eyes away.

It was just...um...yeah. I honestly do not know what to say about it. It did have it's moments, usually when the 2 main actors were not on the screen and the known voice actors were having a go at it. But other then that, it was just bad, but good, but still kind of bad.

I kind of got the whole "Killer Clowns from Outer Space" feeling with it. You know, the kind of movie that is so horrible and cheesy that you have to watch it a couple of times before you can honestly say whether you actually love it or hate it.

So, if you like your movies with an extra helping of cheesiness with a side of "This makes no sense at all" then this is the movie for you.

If you can't stand movies that make as much sense as say, sea-monkey enhanced vodka flavored cheese curls... then just back away slowly and don't even give this movie a second thought.. just go.. now... while you have the chance.

Trust me, it's for your own good.

Tim Curry still has that evil laugh but sadly his voice is barely recognizable. It almost killed me when i learned of his strokes. He's from my childhood. The movie itself was awful, i was hoping more for a funhouse feel, but didn't get it. The kids couldn't act but who cares? Who watches a horror movie for the chicks and punks? I watched it for Tim Curry and he delivered.

I do watch strange movies all the time and this ranks as one of them. Although it does have the added "value" of all those known actors (starting with Tim Curry to Lance Henriksen and some others), lending their talent to this. You might wonder how they got involved, but I reckon it might have been easy money for them.

Clichés aside (Jocks bullying a nerd into going into a haunted place, GF of Jock turning against him and going with the shy "fella" and many more) this has some interesting choices in "monsters". I'm not sure how we're supposed to be scared of them, rather than mildly bemused and completely bewildered. Also completely annoyed ... A strange movie with more than just a clown, though no guarantee you'll have a good time ...
