Crepitus - O Palhaço Assassino

I think the reviews on here so far are a little stilted, so I feel like I must offer up something a little more honest. I live about an hour and a half from where the majority of this film was made in small town Northern Michigan and I even got to catch the "home town" premiere at the local movie theater there. It was quite an experience attending the viewing with the director, and a few others involved, sitting in on the screening; it was kind of tense. Given the situation, I just think a lot of people were in awe. I, on the other hand, viewed the film a little more realistically, and actually had to stifle a few giggles because it felt like the entire audience was taking the film too seriously...and I just don't think that's how it was meant. The antics from the mother alone are so off-the-wall bonkers it's hard not to smile. Plus, Bill Moseley popping up as a clown reciting messed up nursery-type rhymes is an absolute delight. All that said, this is a low budget movie. As a person who would sit down and watch this in the first place, you should already have some idea of what you're getting yourself into. Maybe parts of the project are a little green, but this movie has a lot of heart and you can tell the people involved were at least enjoying themselves while they were exploring this world. I've heard talk of a sequel and, honestly, I'm here for it. The Crepitus character has a lot of potential, expanding on that with a touch more money would be golden. Regardless, if you're into killer clowns, there are much, much, much worse movies than this.

I looked forward to this film for such a long time however it was a waste of my time both waiting and watching it. The acting is awful! The Mother is super annoying. Nothing makes sense in this movie.....NOTHING! This was a waste of Bill Moseley's talent. The constant rhymes his character Crepitus speaks in is not creepy it's just stupid and annoying. The film is just cheap and poorly done. The writing is terrible. Save your time and money.

I don't know what I just watched. I have never been more confused in my entire life. Shame on everyone involved in this god awful movie and shame on your families too. I'm mad at how confused I am and I think I could make a better film than this load of hot garbage. Gingerknight needs to be shut down and put in jail for this. Disgusting.

*NON-SPOILER*

As much as I tried, I could not get into this film. The storyline is unimaginative and bland whilst the acting is very robotic and scripted (more so from the two girls). You always get one chance to redeem any horror film by making it genuinely scary, unfortunately this completely failed to do that.

Movie was awful, and once again there's a bunch of 10 star reviews from people who've never reviewed or rated ANY other movie. AVOID!!!;
