Clown

They hired a bunch of amateur improve actors and just set em loose inside a decorated barn with the vague notion that it's supposed to be a horror. Not really, but honestly the story is so nonsensical they might as well have.

The villain was... Definitely there. I don't know if the clown had supernatural powers or if the editing/pacing of the movie was just nonsense. I mean I walked away from this movie with nothing gained and lost 1 hour and 20ism minutes of my life.

Honestly this movie has the energy of a killer clown game made up by some kids. Its like an 8 year old was forced to write and directed ii. It's exactly that actually.

I don't say this often but I genuinely think this movie is a waste of time and I wish I could have that hour back.

This is the worst movie I have seen in a long time. It is one of the worst ever. I can't think of any redeeming qualities. The story is terrible and doesn't make any sense. It relies on plot devices and choices no one would make. It isn't scarry. It isn't suspenseful or funny. The characters are one dimensional and the acting is horrible. The effects are bad.

I kept watching it because I thought it might become so bad it was good, ut it never did. It is just terrible.

Bought this film on DVD, the other day 'cause it's a film I hadn't seen, and it was cheap.

So why not?

Sat through the whole thing, 'cause I wanted to see if it would pick up at some point.

And I'm now left wondering ...

Why?

Pretty much the whole film is terrible.

Picks up towards the end slightly, but even then it's dire.

Clown is a mess of a movie that sort of picks up at the end, enough to make it less than watchable. I'm not sure whether this is exactly what the director wanted or whether an editor tried to save it, but if it's the later, they messed up. This movie lacked character development, cinematography, (as one would expect) acting, and any kind of story. The basic make-up of a movie is lacking here, with so much going on that has nothing to do with the plot. In the beginning, the director makes the characters so unlikeable that I couldn't help but root for the clown. The filming was so sharp and everything was so colorful that it didn't even look like a horror movie. The clown looked creepy, but didn't act it. I did appreciate the recorded voices over the speaker. The ending was good, but as bad as the rest of the movie was and it not being dramatic, it lacked any impact. If I were explaining basic movie ideas and how it looks when everything goes wrong, I'd show them this. Otherwise, don't waste your time.

The Asylum is a film production company that specializes in "mockbusters" or movies that are cheaply slapped together to mimic a recent major release. Think of movies like Alien vs. Hunter, I am Omega, Atlantic Rim, etc. I assumed this was their It knockoff and thought it might be a hoot but it's not. This is an incredibly bland, slapped together dead teenage movie about a wronged clown fooling people into his cheaply constructed funhouse. Young people wander in and most of them die. Uh spoilers, I guess. This thing sucks. A really cheap and poorly made horror movie needs to deliver on at least two of these three things to warrant watchable status: sex, violence, laughs. None are present here. The only reason I even gave it 2 stars is because I liked some of the girls in it, especially the one in the glasses. Terrible movie, though.
