While babysitting two children on Halloween, a VHS finds its place in the house, and upon playing it, strange things start happening.
Art the Clown: Part 1
The homage to John Carpenter pays off despite the numerous flaws. So, here’s how it all began…
In 2008, writer/editor/director Damien Leone made the short film The 9th Circle. It was the first film in which Art the Clown appeared, and it is also the first segment of the film on VHS.
In 2011, based on the clown’s popularity, Leone made another short film called Terrifier. That’s also the third segment of the film on VHS. That raised the infamous clown’s popularity even higher. Something that brings us to…
All Hallow’s Eve, two years after that. The film became an excellent opportunity for Leone to put his short films into one and anchor it around the clown. So, how great is it? Not at all. Is that a bad thing? Not at all. All Hallow’s Eve is so bad that it’s actually good. As an audience, you really want to know what will happen in all three films and the house. That means that Leone has achieved his goal.
There are countless mistakes from a technical and artistic point of view. That will not prevent you, though, from wanting to watch until the very end.
The film was a great start for Leone’s career, who arguably created the most horrific and terrorising killer clown ever. And what did he do next? He propelled Art the Clown’s reputation to the sky with Terrifier (2016).
Happy Halloween!
