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

I tend to grade a movie on a different metric based on where it's coming from. It would be unfair to hold it to same standard as a big budget movie or a known director or production company with years of expertise under their belt. So with clown town I'm being a little more generous than others may be willing to be. Also I've recently seen Clown Motel and Him so those movies showed just how bottom of the barrel killer clown films can go. This film is fairly generic , it doesn't pave any new ground or contribute anything we haven't already seen . However there are some pretty competent moments scattered throughout for a first time director,writer,and producer. The clowns are fairly intimidating as they mostly wear greasepaint and old dirty clothes, rather than full on clown costumes . There are some legit jump scared and some fair gore scenes ,that at least didn't choose digital blood effects. So overall it's still a low budget regional indie horror film that's nothing new , but is very far from being the worst movie I've ever seen.

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.

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.

Of course can't be sure if the persons responsible for this movie have some urinary problems (hopefully not cancer) but no other explanation I can think of for the constant references to urination, people peeing, scenes with urinals, women and men discussing their urination. It is all very strange. As for the movie itself, found it entertaining and with decent production values. Still, all this talk about peeing and pissing is odd, at least in my humble opinion. Perhaps for teenagers this is an "in" thing, I don't know.
