1983: A group of high school students are having a great time near Hollywood Hills at the weekend when they bump into the Loser from their school, Sam, who's just on his way home. Sam would do anything in order to get Jenny's attention, one of prettiest girls in school. Unfortunately she's also the girlfriend of the school's bully, Biff, the quarterback of the football team. Biff and his buddies are keen to take Sam to the old abandoned amusement park to make him prove his courage as part of their initiation ceremony. They involve Jenny in their cruel game as the grand prize of the competition. Sam accepts the challenge, but the girl wouldn't let him go in by himself; she follows him into the amusement park and a night they'll never forget.

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

It was terrible... Why have we seen this movie ever? I was bored during the movie, nothing special was happening... Only obscene words and lame creators with last century's technologies. ***Spoiler*** Why did the guy go to the park only because of some foolish jocks, and why did the girl follow him? And when they heard the strange voices, and saw creators, why did they not leave the park?

Michael Winslow, Tim Curry, Lance Henriksen, Brad Dourif...these were the names that piqued my interests to watch this movie. This movie is just your typical teen boy and girl run-in with monsters, of course, with the stereotypical jock bullies. Though, while I didn't care for the human characters, the monsters were quite hilarious -- I found myself laughing hysterically at the monsters' interactions with one another. For example, when Braineater and Stomacherumble are arguing was beautiful -- the farting, belching, and back-n-forth profanity and insults was just golden icing on the cake!I've read both the reviews and threads regarding "GingerClown," giving it low stars, and believing it's among the worst films watched. I have to simply disagree, for it's just a spoof the way I see it. I'm watching it for a second time on Xfinity Demand, and the similar movies are "Scary Movie" series, "This is the End," and "Chucky," movies that tend to bring much humor as opposed to horror. So if you're in for a good chuckle, I recommend this movie for you to watch. I've seen horrible movies, and this is not one of them. I've only given "GingerClown" an 9 out 10 stars, the reason being I wished for more people to have been killed/eaten, and the blood/gore was minimal, though that's just a small nitpick.

I do watch strange movies all the time and this ranks as one of them. Although it does have the added "value" of all those known actors (starting with Tim Curry to Lance Henriksen and some others), lending their talent to this. You might wonder how they got involved, but I reckon it might have been easy money for them.Clichés aside (Jocks bullying a nerd into going into a haunted place, GF of Jock turning against him and going with the shy "fella" and many more) this has some interesting choices in "monsters". I'm not sure how we're supposed to be scared of them, rather than mildly bemused and completely bewildered. Also completely annoyed ... A strange movie with more than just a clown, though no guarantee you'll have a good time ...

I was at the actual world premiere of the movie (which was fully occupied, I don't know what the other reviewer is actually talking about...) and I can see, why many people will have their issues with the movie.You need to understand, that if the trailer says "In the style of the 80ies", it REALLY means "In the style of the 80ies". It is having all the clishés over and over, that teenagers from now will hardly enjoy this. Gingerclown is clearly a genre movie.So if you are an eighties child, you'll be more friends with this flick, but unfortunately still it's having several issues. The actors are quite bad (most of all the woman and her endless yelling/screaming made my ears bleed), there is hardly anything you'd call horror, almost no gore and many of the scenes feel unreasonably stretched. You'll need a lot of patience.Also the ending...Well, see it for yourself.I liked the monsters though, even if mostly only their heads were built properly. They had their charm, the famous voice actors had surely their fun. They could've gotten a bit more airtime, but it was okay.It had some funny moments too, but overall the movie was unfortunately a letdown, it's hard to call this a horror-comedy, when it's not that funny or scary. They tried too hard with all the nostalgic things what made many of the 80ies movies so bad, it was a bit too much in the end.
