Apocalypse Clown

This is a comedy that you will either find hilarious or, if you are like me, sit stony-faced for 90% of the time. Having seen the initial reviews, I had high hopes for a really good comedy, and I really really tried to enjoy this, but most of the comedic moments just fell flat with me. There was the odd moment that made me giggle, with Natalie Palamides, as the crazy demented Funzo, being the standout, but the laughs were very few and far between. Still, give it a go, I may be in the minority here, as the the current reviews on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes are pretty good, with most being very positive.

No pun intended - and somewhat aimed at Ivan Kaye - once King in the show Vikings. So no connection between those two pieces of arts - apart from the same actor, but in very different roles. A great actor and he has quite a few good people (well not "good" in that sense) surrounding him.

A violent movie that has some jokes - but even they are mostly violent/brutal. So yes clowns are not (meant to be) fun ... that should be seen as a given, if you watch a horror movie including clowns. The story is quite simple, as are the characters. But apart from some criticism, it will not really surprise you or anything. Just go with the flow and enjoy it for what it is ... it is quite decent ... which cannot be said about the characters ...

Apocalypse clown 2023 has some good laughs. I laughed out loud while watching the film. Funzo the clown steals a bunch of scenes. I recommend this movie if you like comedy that makes you laugh.

Apocalypse Clown makes for a wonderful good movie night when paired with other clown films like FREAKS OUT 2021, SHAKES THE CLOWN 1991, and THE LAST CIRCUS 2010.

No, you wont turn into a clown if you watch this movie. Yes, some of the jokes are set up all the way from the start to only pay off at the end.

Other dark comedy films made in ireland that i recommend: GRABBERS , A FILM WITH ME IN IT, and IN BRUGES.

When a legendary clown dies while berating Pepe (Fionn Foley), a hapless wanna-be clown, the remaining clowning community in Ireland gathers for his funeral, including lovelorn Bobo (David Earl), pompous The Great Alphonso (Ivan Kaye) and the thoroughly crazy street clown Funzo (Natalie Palamides) who has already made enemies of two human statues after she bit off the ear of one of them. In addition, journalist Jenny Malone (Amy De Bhrun) attends the funeral, thinking it's at least a step up from the filler material she had previously been given. Before the funeral is over, the human statues have found Funzo and a fracas results in them all being jailed overnight. Come morning, their cells are miraculously open and the streets are empty - and none of their electronic devices work. Could the end of the world have happened while they were out of commission? If so, what could the world possibly need more than a group of clowns, ready to bring joy and laughter amidst the chaos?

This is a hilarious comedy, full of clownish humour and a few scary bits too - just what you want in a movie starring clowns! There is a fair amount of satire, and some of the gags are rather broad, which might be a problem for those liking more sophisticated humour, but again - it's about clowns, of course it's going to be broad! Definitely worth seeing, particularly if you're starting to freak out about the real end-of-the-world scenarios playing out around the planet these days; this will at least let you laugh for an hour and a half.

I thought this film was alright and better than some reviews would give. Some down on their luck clowns go to the almighty clown the first funerals. While their my favourite clown of the bunch, funzo causes a continuous faud with a statue of liberty Nd another man. Her along with bobo, and three other clowns end up in jail with a roster but when they get out the world seems to have ended. The clowns then set out to find other humans. Put on a show and give their late friend the burial he deserves. I thought the cast was pretty good and each clown was unique and actually pretty funny. The plot was something you don't always see either. Overall a good comedy.
