The Worst Film Ever

Good movie but grossly overrated

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Suzie Lorraine plays Lauren and Tom Stedham plays Ray a couple that have rented a holiday house in the country. Lauren has had a breakdown and Sam appears to be an alcoholic. They are trying to rebuild their marriage after a bit of a rocky time. It is not long before Lauren starts to see a clown lurking in the garden or at the window, but of course no one believes a mad woman would they?This film is directed by Steve Sessions. Four years before this he made Dead clowns, so maybe clowns is a personal fear for him. I have not seen that film so cannot comment as to how this compares.If you have a fear of clowns then I would not worry as the clown here is not that scary. I found this film to be quite a struggle to sit through as nothing really happens and when it does it is not that interesting. The concept could have been quite scary (clown captures people and tortures them) but when people are tortured and all they can do is let out a gentle moan or have a hand cut off and not make a single sound, then this lacks some credibility. At the end of the movie it states that this was shot in six days, which, when you think of it, could it have been any better?

Wow...OK. So, after reading the little feud on here, I decided I had to see this movie for myself. This movie is HORRIBLE. I stopped watching it. I strongly recommend cleaning a closet instead of watching this movie, you'll be more spooked/entertained.It's low budget with bad acting.Whoever is giving this "movie" (because this is totally garbage) 10s is completely incorrect and should be disregarded.I am in no way connected to any of the other reviewers.Simply put, this garbage is not worth watching.Very, very, very, very BAD "MOVIE".

I knew it was going to be good! Even before watching it. I highly recommend this movie if you like b-movies with a bite to it. The director does intelligent low budget films. He orchestrated a highly atmospheric and offbeat horror film. The whole cast is just fine. Suzi Lorraine is simply beautiful and good actress. Ted Alderman delivers a nice performance in a very good scene in this film. Grisly deaths --especially the tongue (look for it!)--, and spooky atmosphere.There's nobody to hear you scream here except your killer--and this one is a crazy demented serial killer with a clown costume. --Now. I want to see Steve Sessions doing a more complex movie, something like Deep Red. A puzzle movie. He sure can do it!

Solid cast in this Steve Sessions chiller. Sessions always had the talent to create a moody score, and creepy scenes. He does it again. The camera work is really good here. The scene where the clown catch the lead actress is very well done. I definitely enjoyed the acting of every actors. Suzi Lorraine turns in one of her best performances as Lauren. The lead actor was likable. Cinematography and lighting are used to good effect. Haunting music, decent bodycount and the bloody victims did a good acting job! Very intense death scenes! Torture type scenes. I liked the creepy atmosphere of the "middle of nowhere location" and found the story and it's surprise ending very satisfying. Creepy! Like every Sessions' movies.
