Clowntergeist

Warning, this review is more of a rant.

This movie is clearly a Mockbuster that is coinciding with the release of the new Stephen King It movie. Watching the trailer itself plainly displays the directors lack of creativity and originality, and like many wannabe directors/writers, he chooses instead to piggyback off of higher budget movies. This makes the director/creators, by it's very definition, a parasite. And quite honestly, I don't understand the logic. You want to be a director/writer and make movies, but you can't think of and create your own content? Clearly, this movie serves more along the lines as a cry for help than anything else. This entire situation would be different if the movie served as a sort of parody of the "It" franchise, but it's clear that it doesn't; the movie tries to take itself very seriously, thus infringing on copyright and intellectual property.

I rated this movie a 1/10, and I highly suggest that if you appreciate movies and respect the art that they inherently stand for, that you also do the same.

A Young girl who's dangerously afraid of clowns get's her worst nightmare to reality when a clown serial killer comes to town. Clowntergeist is one of the worst of 2017, with some of the worst acting I've seen in some time and a horrible script and direction.

Good movie about a demonic clown who rules the town with his fear and how a girl escapes from the fear is all about a demon in body of clown.

This movie cured my clown phobia.

I found this movie to be extremely predictable. It's like the writer searched online for horror movie clichés and used every single one of them in this movie.

Due to the extremely low rating, the almost exclusively negative user comments, and the simple fact that a film can carry an utterly ludicrous title such as "Clowntergeist", my expectations for this cheap piece of clown-horror were set low. But hey, I reckon the best way to approach a film like this is without any expectations whatsoever, because now I can say I was pleasantly surprised. The plot is obviously pure and preposterous nonsense, but at least writer/director Aaron Mirtes clearly watched a lot of horror classics and knows a thing or two about generating suspense. "Clowntergeist" contains a handful of moments that are atmospheric, intense and very well built up. The sequences with the car full of balloons is quite good, for instance, and also the part where a character named Jonah gets attacked in his house is effectively suspenseful. The clown itself, oddly named Ribcage which is a horrendous name even for a killer clown, is menacing but not used well. The cute Brittany Belland gives a more than decent performance as the teen heroine with a phobia for clowns. I just read via the site that she took her own life shortly after the release of this film. She was only 28 years old; - most unfortunate.
