Gags The Clown

Of course I opted to sit down and watch this 2018 horror comedy titled "Gags The Clown", as I happened to stumble upon it by random luck here in 2024. Sure, I had never heard about the movie, and thus didn't know what I was in for. And in turn, I had zero expectations to the movie, aside from it being a horror comedy. So writers Adam Krause (whom also directed the movie) and John Pata had every opportunity to entertain me.

And they failed miserably. I managed to suffer through 42 minutes of the 89 minute runtime. Then I just couldn't take anymore of the boredom. The storyline and script in "Gags The Clown", from Adam Krause and John Pata, was anything but entertaining. There was nothing funny in the storyline, nor were there anything scary. So as for "Gags The Clown" being a horror comedy, not so much. This was more like a 'someone had an idea while drunk and opted to bring it to the screen with their home video camera' type of movie.

Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie. However, I will say that some of the performances were actually fair enough, despite the fact that they had next to nothing to work with in terms of a proper script, storyline or character gallery.

There was nothing interesting to be seen on the screen, and even less so in terms of special effects.

If you enjoy horror comedies, like I do, then just skip on "Gags The Clown", because it simply isn't worth the time, money or effort. Some of us suffered through this ordeal, in lesser or greater extend, so you don't have to.

My rating of director Adam Krause's 2018 movie "Gags The Clown" lands on a very generous two out of ten stars.

I have never wrote a review for a movie before, but I fell like I should for this movie. This is not a typical killer dressed as a clown movie, it has something to creep everyone out. While some of the acting was a little over the top, the plot made up for it. The visual effects were also pretty good for a smaller budget film. Overall it's a very decent movie that I thoroughly enjoyed.

I was really looking forward to watch this movie. Clown sightings always intrigued me and I was really hopping this movie could make me feel uneasy and creeped out. Unfortunately it fails miserably in everything a scary movie should acomplish. I had the impression that the movie was 2h30 long since I was really bored. No creepy scenes, no eerie atmosphere, no nothing. Even the parts that were supposed to be scary are so lame.

And what the hell was that ending?? If you're looking for answers about the clown identity or why does he just stands there watching people... well, prepare yourself to a "no answers" ending. Seems like they created the story, but as they could not explain it themselves, they just made that uninspired ending.

I really think hard before doing a bad review because even if the movie is bad, it has some amount of effort by the crew and actors. But then again... I didn't feel that they even bothered to write a plot that makes sense. Sorry, but I cannot recommend this movie to anyone, unless I want that person to be bored for 1h30m...

Its definitely not the worst found footage out there but... Clowns? Really? I don't think this topic works anymore on anybody. I can see that decent amount of work went in to making this movie, it has its short moments but the main topic makes it just not very enjoyable but really really meh and boring.

I enjoyd this movie far more than i expected to. the acting was pretty good all around and the clown was creepy af. and I apperciate it not having the usual cliches nor the phony hollywood ending. it gets a pretty loud horray from me.
