Gags The Clown

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.

Gags the Clown (2018) is currently available for free on Amazon Prime, and it's a decent addition to the clown horror genre. The story follows a mysterious clown, Gags, who appears throughout a city leaving behind strange balloons. When these balloons pop, they release a white powder that, if inhaled, causes people to go insane and start killing. The local media and a determined blogger set out to track Gags down, as the police struggle to capture the elusive clown.

Directed by Adam Krause in his first major motion picture, Gags the Clown delivers some solid kill scenes and an entertaining storyline. The dynamic between the blogger and the competing news crews was well-executed, and the final funhouse sequence was a standout moment. The acting by Tracy Perez (The Strain), Lauren Ashley Carter (Pod, Jug Face), and Aaron Christensen (Dead Weight, Gray Matter) was above average and believable, helping to elevate the film.

Overall, this is an entertaining film that's worth a watch, especially for fans of the genre. I'd rate it 5.5/10.

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.

After watching Gags I thought "meh." Its underdeveloped, not really gory, mostly creepy, the characters have no depth, and there's not a lot going on. But given a moment to think about, the actors were entertaining, the story moved along, and it was legitimately freaky. Given it looks like it was made on $50 and a bottle of ketchup, I'd have to say I thought Gags the Clown is a fairly done B-movie.
