100 Tears

A huge creepy looking clown Gurdy walks through a halfway house and systematically slaughters at least a dozen people with meatcleaver.The gore flows freely in the first 15 minutes.Two reporters Mark and Jennifer are investigating the legendary 'Teardrop Killer',who's been butchering unsuspecting groups of victims for 20 plus years."100 Tears" is among the goriest indie slasher movies I have ever seen.I must say that the bodycount is truly high and the killings are over-the-top including several juicy decapitations and dismemberments.The techno score is annoying,the acting is mediocre and the climax is abrupt,but if you enjoy drowning in the sea of blood and guts "100 Tears" can't be missed.7 out of 10.

This movie may be a far cry from great, but it is certainly not terrible. I found the acting to be rather mediocre and the plot line to be almost non-existent, but this movie gets an A+ for blood and gore. I counted ten gruesome deaths in just fifteen minutes! This movie is really only for people who are die-hard slasher fans and are looking for a brutal gore fest from start to finish. I've hated a lot of clown horror films lately, but this is not that bad. I agree that it looks much more home made than professional, but to me that just makes the experience even more disturbing. I would recommend this to those few horror movie lovers who can appreciate excessive blood and nothing more.

I first saw this in 2008 on a dvd which I own.

I remember the dvd seller guy persuading me to buy it n describing how scary n gory the movie is.

Revisited it recently but on a fast forwarding mode.

Apart from the gore there is nothing redeeming about this low budget movie.

There is absolutely no tension n the scare is zero. Plus there is zero nudity.

I found the chase sequence involving the dwarf very funny.

At times the movie gets very very monotonous n tedious.

Some of the scenes are shot in too much darkness n the grindhouse/grainy look doesn't help at all.

This doesn't need a sequel or a prequel.

Attention all splatter enthusiasts, thy day of deliverance is at hand! Gurdy the clown (Jack Amos) has arisen to cause enough bloody mayhem to drown you! 100 TEARS is the tale of Gurdy and his gore-drenched trail of vengeance against... well, everyone! The opening scene alone is worth its weight in entrails!

TEARS also stars Raine Brown, who redeems herself for having been in the impossibly inept floater known as WOODS OF EVIL. Here, she shines with maniacal glee, giving an utterly insane performance!

So, if your tastes run toward the ultra-gory / funny, and eeevil, homicidal clowns are your delight, then look no further than this micro-budgeted bloodbath!...

An over-sized meat cleaver being swung by an over-sized clown...

An overly low ended "Thud" is followed by an over-sized spray of blood..

All set to an overly goofy carnival organ soundtrack...

If this is interesting to you, then you might want to check out "100 Tears" for an evening of over the (big) top indie horror fun. Marcus Roch directs this strait to video opus to great effect, and never under-estimates the power of splatter. Sure, it's silly and even down right corny, but in this context it seems to work quite well. I think all would-be low budget horror producers should take a gander at "100 Tears", and take a few notes along the way. The film never tries to take itself too seriously, and that's what makes it stand out in a sea of indie crap being peddled on the unknowing public. It is hard to produce a "Realistic" story when you are working with next to no money, so why not make a film that uses that fact to it's advantage? The acting is stiff but watchable (minus the wonderful comic timing of Joe Davison) and the cinematography / lighting scheme are weak but tolerable. These down sides are over looked because the film simply entertains, and you become a part of this twisted world thanks (in part) to a wacky soundtrack by "The Voodoo Organist". Probably not for everyone, but none the less a gruesomely goofy viewing experience.
