This has to be the worst horror movie I have ever watched. And I have been watching horror movies for a very long time.

The story, or lack thereof, is incomprehensible. The clown is neither scary, intimidating, nor funny. The kills are not impressive at all. I had read so much hype about this movie and how this just blew other horror flick villains away. But.....he just didn't. The kills were average, at best. The acting was terrible. There was no continuity. I found myself neither on the side of the victims nor the killer. I was merely rooting for the end of the movie.

I am hard pressed to watch the other 2 installments. I may turn them on, and fast forward though to see if they seem to have the same vibe. But, with the same team on the flick, I have doubts they will be any different.

Meh.....this flick is a hard pass.

Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Bell are great in this flick. They make a really good comedy team. Of course, the cameo by Kathy Bates was awesome. She really is so versatile. The movie is funny, period. If you're not into raunchy comedies why would you even watch a Melissa McCarthy movie? I think the premise of the flick was pretty believable behind all the jokes. Takes real work to start a business, and it takes real work to work through trauma that makes you build up walls. I love that most Melissa McCarthy movies have some little life lesson in them. Even if they do get wrapped up in "vulgar" jokes. I have watches this flick multiple times, and will watch it again.
