Of course can't be sure if the persons responsible for this movie have some urinary problems (hopefully not cancer) but no other explanation I can think of for the constant references to urination, people peeing, scenes with urinals, women and men discussing their urination. It is all very strange. As for the movie itself, found it entertaining and with decent production values. Still, all this talk about peeing and pissing is odd, at least in my humble opinion. Perhaps for teenagers this is an "in" thing, I don't know.
Maybe if this film had capitalized on the creep clown sightings that were all the rage last year, this film might have had something. Instead, this is a slavishly formula slasher film in the mold of "The Hills Have Eyes," "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" or "Wrong Turn," except with clowns. Very low budget, but so were the first two films I mentioned and they are both arguably horror classics, but this film lacks Hills or Chainsaw's suspense, originality, or even good old fashioned scares. This horror film is strictly running and chasing and creepy clown imagery. The creepy clown imagery was enough to hold my attention, but just barely.
There isn't anything truly terrible here, apart from maybe some of the effects. However it is also completely paint-by-numbers and there is nothing that stands out even a little, which is pretty bad for a killer clown movie. Have you seen Terrifier? Now that is memorable, although he is arguably a mime.
There just wasn't enough effort put into making an original and fun film and instead this comes off as people who just wanted to make a movie, and they did that, and I'm sure it was a lot of fun to make, but none of that translates to the viewer.
Overall I'd give this one a pass, there is nothing you haven't seen before and it never falls into 'so bad, it's good' territory.

I mean it wasn't no Rob zombie type of scary movie but it was definitely creepy it wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen either I don't know everybody's expecting but it wasn't that bad
Before watching it, I knew nothing about this movie. Just that people who liked movies I watched had liked it. I guess I was expecting it to be a Troma-type low budget gore fest but it was more, and somehow less at the same time. It had the look and feel of a big budget movie but the script and acting of a movie made by children. While they managed to get the hot girl naked and murdered before the opening credits, it wasn't so good after that. At one point a girl loses her phone. After driving for a long time they decide to call her phone and the guy who answers tells them to keep driving and make the next left and he will meet them there. And they do it! One thing that distinguished this from a Troma flick was the distinct lack of gore. We see the hot girl get killed by a machete that doesn't even cut through her shirt and then later we see one bloodless stabbing. Overall I'd have to say this movie is very average for the genre. Definitely worth watching once.

- TriviaThe house on fire in the clown montage is not an effect. The cast and crew were on their way back to base for lunch when a couple of them noticed a "flicker" off down the road. They immeadiatly turned around and called the fire dept while checking the house for inhabitants.
