Circus of the Dead

We have to say that this was a film to watch by yourself or with other people with the same morbid curiosity as we did. modern grindhouse film with scenes that will offend more than a few. The story did start off a bit slow, but once we got rolling it was pretty much non stop. We wished it would have developed the family dynamics just a bit more so when time came you would definitely feel more for the primary character. We do love the crazy, demented and psychosis of the main antagonist and an does he put the cringe in the back of your neck. There were one or two parts where the music was cut off or didn't mesh well, but not enough to make it a point to take you completely out of the film. the attention to detail on set design and small details like costumes make it a real treat! Overall a really gritty, dark and well made film and worth a watch a few times. Looking forward to see if they make a second part.

WE WANT CLOWNS! Said no audience in the history of entertainment. If you dig sadism, this is for you. And you like extremely stupid cops and main characters. Someone is a huge fan of Rob Zombie here and thought "Captain Spaulding + 4 other clowns." And apparently the clown posse murders and rapes in every town they stop on, yet NO one thought of any connection? Surveillance cameras EVERYWHERE? The writers know that we have telephones and computers, right?

I will say most of these other user reviews must be people working on the production or hired bots.

When you read the other reviews it's obvious that they're connected to the movie, way too many 10/10

It unfortunate that these review can be hijacked because I do appreciate hearing other peoples honest reviews.

If you've seen all of the Terrifier films but still haven't had your fill of sadistic killer clowns, then Circus of the Dead might do the trick. The psychotic circus performers in this film don't have Art the clown's style and wicked sense of humour, but they do deliver when it comes to killing people in extremely nasty ways.

The latest victims of Papa Corn (Bill Oberst Jr.) and his gang of creepy clowns are the Johnson family - Donald (Parrish Randall), his adulterous wife Tiffany (Chanel Ryan) and his two daughters - who rue the day the decided to go to the circus. This film's sole purpose is to shock with its violence and in that it succeeds: the acting is a bit off, the sound quality isn't great and certain plot points take some swallowing, but the gory nastiness is definitely eye-opening, with one scene involving a pregnant woman being particularly disturbing.

Yes, some of the 10/10 reviews are most likely fake, but all of the 1/10 and 2/10 reviews can be dismissed just as easily: no, Circus of the dead isn't the greatest horror film ever made, but it's far from the worst - gore hounds should find plenty to enjoy about this sick puppy.

I couldn't even make it 20 minutes in. The best acting is from the little girl playing the younger daughter. Pets can act better than the cast. Terrible dialogue writing. Painful to watch. I had to turn it off.
