    A Feminist Slasher From Canada Featuring John Candy.

    Canadian horror icon Stephen Young stars alongside John Candy, in this 70's slasher flick.

    Where a group of friends plan to stop one of their more douchey brethren, from exploiting his wife, in order to cash in on a lucrative land deal.

    Knowing that she owns the property, and must sign over the deed...they plan to dress up like clowns, and kidnap her, until the deadline passes at midnight, on Halloween.

    However, none of them expected that what starts off as a joke will end up progressing to murder.

    One mistake leads to another, they all start turning against each other.

    Just as the cops are beginning to hone in on them.

    Because on top of the scuffed kidnapping...a nefarious actor is hiding amongst them...trying to kill them off one-by-one...

    While the woman they've kidnapped is doing whatever she can, in order to survive.

    Things go from bad to worse as paranoia sets in amongst the group.

    Will any of them make it out alive?

    Or has this sick joke gone too far already?

    Either way, it looks like they've stopped the land deal from going through...

    It's certainly not your average slasher flick.

    Because, while the motives of each character are pretty clear...the way the plot plays out is really quite bizarre, and slightly confusing.

    Because even though the end game of each player is effectively the same...it becomes a kind of proxy war to control- even possess- the victim.

    As they've all desired her, at one point, or another.

    Luckily for her, she is clearly more grounded than any of them.

    And, having realized this, she uses it to her advantage...to play them against one another.

    So, while the men all end up bruised and broken...if not dead...she walks out of the whole ordeal generally unscathed...arguably, even stronger than she was before.

    Thus, hidden beneath the layers of drama is a moral tale with an underlying feminist message.

    A very interesting little flick, indeed.

    5.5 out of 10.

    I had this movie on VHS...

    and the tape broke. Believe me I was very glad that it did. This movie is very boring and stupid. I do not plan to get this movie ever again even to rent it. Take my advice and be smart not to have anything to do with this movie.

    Don't Waste Your Time

    John, svelte, John Candy in a horror film!

    Very very cheaply made. Set in Canada. The movie was never released theatrically in the US (VHS then later DVD)

    It's not a very good movie.

    I have no idea why John Candy is in this. Very strange. But not in a good way.

    The plot A group of young professionals decides to play a practical joke on one of their ex-girlfriends who married a rich man who is about to close a major real estate deal.

    They plan to kidnap her and mess up the deal.

    Unfortunately, the joke becomes deadly serious.

    The rising of boredom.

    A group of young professionals decides to play a practical joke on one of their ex-girlfriends who married a rich man who is about to close a major real estate deal.They will kidnap her and mess up the deal.But the joke becomes deadly serious when someone gets killed."The Clown Murders" is a boring thriller with John Candy and Lawrence Dane of "Rituals" fame.It's basically a hostage drama with 10 minutes of slasher in the finale.The killer wears clown costume and the scene in the barn is pretty eerie,but the action is slow and dull.If you liked "Straw Dogs" or "Death Weekend" you may give this one a look,but don't expect too much.5 clowns out of 10.

    John Candy not at his finest

    This movie is really quite pathetic. It is a movie about a murderer. The plot is confusing and jumps around so much it is hard to follow. The only reason to actually watch this movie is because John Candy is in it. It is his first of only two dramatic roles that he ever did. There is an embarrassing scene where John's character has a nervous breakdown, and he is seen rolling in the mud in his underwear, blubbering like a baby. The movie aside, I thought John pulled that scene off quite well.

    At any rate, if you are a real John Candy fan, then you have probably already seen this movie. If you are not a fan, don't waste your time.
