Cashing in on the renewed popularity of killer clowns Clowntergeist tells the story of a demonic clown who kindly provides you with a red (Shocker) balloon with the date/time he's going to kill you on.

No poltergeists here, just a really dreadful clown (Not even the one on the poster) who grunts like an animal and has variable supernatural rules.

The cast are quite competent but don't have much to work with and the finale twist is laughable. Would have worked better as a horror comedy.

Want a decent clown horror? Watch Clown House (1989)

The Good:

Predictable but decent opening "Twist"

Some quite original ideas

The Bad:

Crap antagonist

Poor twist

Lore makes little sense/isn't explained

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

The redneck weapon of choice is the crossbow

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.

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.

Killer clown films are not done quite as often as ones centred around sharks and zombies. Those that do exist are wildly variable, for every 2017 film version of 'IT' there is also 'Killjoy'. When featured clowns are scary, they are the stuff of nightmares, a prime example being Tim Curry's Pennywise.

Whether 'Clowntergeist' is a parody or rip-off of Stephen King's 'IT' is irrelevant and even if it was (it certainly isn't blatant but a few elements are reasonably similar) that is the least of its problems. Likewise with how misleading it is in its title and advertising, with this clown being far from ghostly. Demon/killer clown films don't get much worse than 'Clowntergeist', don't mind that it was low budget but do mind if it looked as though it didn't even try. The latter seemed to be the case with 'Clowntergeist'.

Anybody's fear of clowns will not stay let alone increase, because it is so un-scary and how laughable any fears are likely to be cured. Ribcage is as non-intimidating, non-frightening as one can get for a villainous clown. What is actually more scary is how lazy and unintentionally goofy he is, Killjoy is scarier and he is not terrifying at all. Instead Ribcage doesn't convince at all as a demon/killer clown and if he was meant to be a ghost clown the film failed catastrophically on that count, all he is is a quite annoying Eric Corbin lumbering and wheezing around in a cheap clown suit and make-up (or that's what it seemed).

'Clowntergeist' completely lacks tension, suspense, terror or thrills. Instead it is very dull, unintentionally funny, cheap and predictable. There is nothing surprising or scary in sight, what was meant to be scary was obvious well in advance and hampered even further by the annoying sound effects and over-bearing music that try too hard to make one feel it should be creepy. It completely takes away the surprises and suspense too as a result, as do the very cheap (sloppily edited, drab and amateurishly shot) production values.

Pacing drags badly and the story is far too dragged out and padded to seemingly hide that the story is far too thin, very thin paper is thicker in comparison. The dialogue is stilted and filled with cheese to fill a large cheeseburger when it's comprehensible. The sound and music are far too loud and obvious.

No characters to care for or be interested in either. They are all bland and obnoxious, often given very little to do and with few logical or un-dumb thoughts. The direction has no competence and the acting is weak all round at best, especially from Corbin.

Overall, a terrible film that will do nothing to make one even more scared of clowns. 1/10 Bethany Cox

The beginning was balevable but after that happens the movie went to poop it went down 2 different girls at almost the same time it took 30 years for 1 person to kill the clown that just makes it a super uninteresting story and would never watch it again

Sometimes we read a review in IMDb and find it unfair and believe we may like the film. However, this is not the case of "Clowntergeist", one of the worst low-budget movies ever made. The screenplay is illogical and the direction is terrible. The performances, cinematography, special effects, locations, music score, everything is awful. In the end, "Clowntergeist" is really a very bad movie and not worthwhile watching. Only the art on the DVD cover released in Brasil by Vynix distributor is worthwhile, attracting the attention of fans of horror genre. My vote is two.

Title (Brazil): "Clowntergeist"

OK here I go seventeen reviews and thirteen gave it bad Scores.. I paid three pounds and money well spent.. It was a good horror movie with a lot of jump scares which I believe worked well in the film. So my score is six. Good horror movie.

Bad acting Bad story Bad graphics Unsatisfying conclusion

The quality of this movie genuinely irked me I can't describe how bad this film is

This is a high quality production with some decent acting. Unfortunately the dialogue is very boring. There are a lot of heart to heart conversations that do nothing for the movie. There's also no nudity and very little gore. The over all story was average for a horror flick. I liked the clown even though it appears to have lots of super powers and is able to live through anything. They completely set it up for a sequel and I could live without that.

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.

If you think its a IT mockup you,re wrong, it,s not!

Don,t expect a fantastic story, it,s a B movie and the story works far better then most of such films.... After all, a few surprises and some engaged acting and suprises at the end Take it for what it is and it,s fine for that.

I am sorry for the loss of the leadactress,....rip!

I enjoy evil clown movies. Funny, scary, both. They're all fun, but not so much this one. At 80 minutes not very long, but for this script way too long. Normally the climax comes in about 10 -15 minutes from the end. Sometimes a movie will have multiple endings, one right after the other, literally (see EVENT HORIZON). This one, in the last 20 min had several points where the movie could end & everyone would have been happy. The end felt more like several different endings were shot, movie too short, so put them all together. Not a very satisfactory ending, would have been better putting effort into early part of the movie. No idea why the clown attacks the 2 girls. Is the clown really a great ape? No idea. If you want noise in the background, not too bad of a movie. If you want to watch & want something not too scary, go with KILLJOY or some other clown.

I cannot make this up when I say I had a headache when the movie was over. It was so painfully stupid and terribly done, the scariest thing in the whole thing were the random jumpscares. It's not a good horror movie if the only thing I'm afraid of are sudden screams and faces coming onto the screen.

The characters were laughable at and I can't even say this was a good bad movie. It was just bad.

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.

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.
