A father tries to please his kid on his birthday by dressing up as a clown, but he gets stuck in the suit, starts losing his mind, and transforms into… something else.
This is not another clown film! Clown cuts straight to the point, gets you to feel the hero’s pain, introduces you to the origins of what once was and what it came to be, and all hell breaks loose.
Released three and a half years after the date’s wrap, the film managed to get a limited release. Producer Eli Roth once more proves he owns the throne of twisted horror as his investment definitely satisfies secret, depraved pleasures and needs. Jon Watts, believe it or not, the director of Spider-man: Homecoming (2017), co-writes and directs the distorted, kid-eating-blood-and-gore version of what most kids love and some fear the most, making everyone who watches the film not want to see or hear about a clown ever again.
The psychological horror is, unfortunately, replaced by some humour and cliches, ruining the film’s ending and, ultimately, its full potential. Regardless, if you decide to watch it, ensure you know what you sign up for. If you are a horror fan like myself, you’ll enjoy the thrill of an underrated, sadistic hero’s journey.
Dean… thanks for the recommendation. This one’s for you, mate.
