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
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 tend to grade a movie on a different metric based on where it's coming from. It would be unfair to hold it to same standard as a big budget movie or a known director or production company with years of expertise under their belt. So with clown town I'm being a little more generous than others may be willing to be. Also I've recently seen Clown Motel and Him so those movies showed just how bottom of the barrel killer clown films can go. This film is fairly generic , it doesn't pave any new ground or contribute anything we haven't already seen . However there are some pretty competent moments scattered throughout for a first time director,writer,and producer. The clowns are fairly intimidating as they mostly wear greasepaint and old dirty clothes, rather than full on clown costumes . There are some legit jump scared and some fair gore scenes ,that at least didn't choose digital blood effects.
So overall it's still a low budget regional indie horror film that's nothing new , but is very far from being the worst movie I've ever seen.
If you watch assault on precinct 13 and Texas chainsaw massacre and have no idea of how to write a script you could make your own clown town movie.
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.

- 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.
