This movie isn't even worth watching to laugh at. There is not one single redeemable aspect to it. The fact they have someone involved throwing an 8 at it is just the tip of the iceberg as to how pathetic this piece of theatric garbage really is.

I would much rather spend my time sliding down a hill that is covered in barbed wire and broken glass with no clothes on than have to sit through the first 15 minutes of this "film" again. I have turned off only a handful of movies in my time. I have sat through Manos, I have sat through Skinned Deep. I could not sit through this.

Absolute waste of time.

I've been conflicted on doing this review for a while because I hadn't pinned any thoughts, and why they'res so many better low-budget projects with this storyline out their, its genuinely a decent venture in the woods.

For the most part the acting is pretty good, the script is realistic and interesting. But the Horror aspects come gradually with bullies and then the Killer Clown who was once that, became stronger and more aggressive with his Clown. I do admire the foreshadowing, that's a genuine Merit to the film and the producer.

And I've seen worse films, this is easily a 3.5 for me, decent enough, nothing particularly outstanding but nothing to outrageously bad either. The horror elements are the history, the killings and the sadistic mind. He feels more of a spirited demon because some things are very out of place, and twisted.

The film really isn't dreadful, I feel the score of 2.1 at this time is alittle harsh.

I'd rate this a 3 Out of 10 Because the acting and the Horror elements are done well, but the story lacks development and key narrative that holds it back from being a great film.

Needless to say that I had indeed never heard about the 2025 horror movie "The Forest Clown" from writer and director Lukas DiSparrow prior to stumbling upon it by random chance, and opting to watch it since it was a horror movie that I hadn't already seen. However, I have to admit, though, that I harbored zero expectations to the movie, as it's cover was just screaming low budget to High Heavens.

The storyline in the movie was the only thing that was 'horror' about the movie. It was totally devoid of anything exciting, thrilling or scary. And it was so insanely slow paced that I absolutely lost all interest in it and picked up my phone to browse social media contents instead. So writer Lukas DiSparrow utterly failed to impress me with this 2025 travesty of a movie.

I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list, which is actually something I do enjoy whenever I sit down to watch a movie. The acting performances were not too shabby.

Would I recommend you to waste 79 minutes on watching this garbage? No, not even remotely. This was a massive swing and a miss of an attempt at making a horror movie.

The movie's trailer even boasted "zero budget masterpiece". Masterpiece? Sure, if you compare it against nothing at all.

My rating of writer and director Lukas DiSparrow's 2025 excuse of a horror movie movie "The Forest Clown" lands on a very, very generous one out of ten stars.

Getting together for a special trip, a group of friends decide to head out to the woods for a special get-together and begin catching up, which soon brings about a series of dark secrets and truths about their relationships that are further hampered by the appearance of a deranged clown killing them off.

This was a truly dire effort without much going for it. The main factor to like about this one is the sheer demented energy and glee that come about from the series of sloppily executed stalking scenes. None of these scenes are remotely interesting or effective, but the outlandish nature of the scenes being carried out makes for an interesting time, with the clown's utter glee and joy at what he's doing going a long way toward making this one engaging during these moments. From the disheveled appearance, tattered wig, and gnarled make-up creating a distinctly memorable impression, the cackling laugh that immediately becomes a cruel taunt, and the means of manipulating the surroundings to create a distinctly bizarre experience, some rather weird sequences on display provide some cheesy scenes with equally cheesy effects to match the enthusiasm from the clown. It's the main thing to like about this one, as there are some big issues with this one. The biggest drawback to this one is the immensely painful storyline that tries to be a loving homage to the past but is so awfully ham-fisted that there's nothing about it that comes off as clever or humorous. The openly targeting of genre cliches involving the group meeting someone mysterious but letting their guard down because they're a clown and supposedly friendly, splitting up in the middle of the woods to look for someone they were just with after mentioning the idea of not going their separate ways, or constantly trying to bring up leaving only to run around in circles with constant mentions about getting away to get to safety, tries to make things funny yet just comes off as ludicrous. That's similar to the way the killer acts with the strangely supernatural attitude that comes about for no reason, as there are either mysterious disappearances to come about somewhere else for the sake of making the scene work or creating outlandish scenarios that make no sense. With these all eroded either further by the cheap special effects or the production work, there's not a lot that works here.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

I'm rating it 10 to show support for those who are able to make a movie!

The negative reviews below are from people who can't even take a proper picture, let alone create a feature film. If you look at their profiles, you'll see they only leave 1-star reviews-some profiles were clearly made just to dislike this film.

Is this Hollywood? No! It's a fun, cheaply and poorly made film, but it has a flowing story and is entertaining at times.

The acting from the entire cast is far from good, though.

For a film made with ZERO BUDGET, I wouldn't expect much.

The hate this film receives is a test for the creators. Honestly, I'd give it a 5/10-the other 5 is just to show support. I bet most of the critics didn't even watch the movie. They don't talk about what the film is actually about-they just hate on Lukas DiSparrow, a guy making a passion project and getting flak for it.

As a fan of garbage cinema, I genuinely enjoyed The Forest Clown. This is exactly what no-budget filmmaking is about: messy, rough around the edges, but made with heart.

What I liked most is that it's not just another mindless slasher. There's actually some backstory and connections between the characters, which gives it a bit more depth than you'd expect. The clown is a lot of fun too. Creepy in that low-budget, offbeat way, but also kind of hilarious at times.

Yeah, the acting isn't great, but if you're watching this kind of film for Oscar-worthy performances, you're in the wrong place. It's scrappy, it's cheap, but it's got a weird charm to it. If you enjoy underground horror made with more passion than money, give this one a go.

The storyline is both sad and poignant. A young child, being treated badly by his grandfather and so-called friends runs away into the woods. He develops otherworldly abilities while also seeking revenge for the taunts and humiliations of his childhood.

Some great acting by the ensemble cast and the resulting film is very watchable.

If blood and gore are your thing, this may not have enough to satisfy you totally, but the effects are convincing and the fright-factor kept sufficiently high.

Filmed entirely in Virginia Water, Surrey, on an exceedingly tight budget, the film still manages to offer scope of character, an interesting storyline and some great scenery, too.

A very watchable film.

I went into The Forest Clown with modest expectations, knowing it was a zero-budget indie slasher, but I have to say-I was pleasantly surprised. The film leans into classic horror clichés with a playful edge, and while the budget constraints are obvious, the passion behind it shines through.

It's nothing groundbreaking, but it works because the film embraces its tropes rather than trying to subvert them.

What really stood out to me was the cast. Despite the film's limitations, the young actors absolutely carried it. Their performances felt surprisingly natural, making their characters more than just typical horror-movie fodder. You could tell they were giving it their all, and that effort made a huge difference.

Visually, the film does what it can with its setting. The forest itself adds a great eerie atmosphere, and while the effects are clearly low-budget, they're used effectively.

Overall, The Forest Clown is the kind of indie horror that makes up for its lack of polish with sheer heart. It's fun and self-aware. If you appreciate grassroots horror filmmaking and don't mind some rough edges, it's definitely worth a watch.

I really enjoyed this film which beautifully combined horror with humour. For a low budget movie the cinematography was excellent with a believable story and characters whose destiny I actually cared about. I would love critics to fully appreciate the hard work and personal sacrifice indie film makers make to bring their creativity and talents to an audience and those who trash talk and belittle their efforts need to stop. I was taught that if you don't have anything nice to say then say nothing. Congratulations to all involved you all did your very best and it shows.

Indie films can't rely on expensive special effects and cgi so the actors have to create the atmosphere and the technical crew also have to be more inventive creating scenes. Ok so it wasn't your cup of tea but please be polite and respectful to all involved.

Pretty funny and some good camera work.

If you Drop all expectations and leave yourself open, you will enjoy this.

Great story great acting. I love a good story set in the woods.

Only thing i struggled with is the sound, it did irritate me at times but i guess everyone has there issues when working with no budget.

The best thing i enjoyed was the camera tricks and the great ise of magic tricks on top. Very clever.

Again leave yourself open to enjoy the writing and the story trying to be told and you will enjoy this peice of art.

Definitely hope to see this picked up and shot with a full budget.
