This is even worse than Curse of Pirate Death. Or maybe not, I'm not sure, actually. But, yeah - okay - it's even worse: 1) it's more generic (Pirate Death at least had some kind of a novelty aspect to it - for a D grade slasher: the killer was a pirate, or the ghost of a pirate, or whatever he was. This killer is a combination of not one, but two worn-out tropes: killer clown and camp haunting maniac (with serious mommy issues). And 2) this movie was made more than a decade after Pirate Death. Our man Dennis really should have learned a thing or two in the meantime.
However, I would like to point out one thing (in defense, as it were, of Dennis Devine): some people (including a couple of YouTubers who make money from ridiculing crap movies) seemingly think that this movie was just randomly "added" to a non-existing series (as in: it was done for laughs). This is - of course - not the case. There is a "Camp Blood" series of (very bad) horror flicks, and I actually think Devine was approached (by someone, God knows who) to do the 8th installment in said series.
So, that part is legit - so to speak. But the bottom line is: this movie is extremely bad and - like Pirate Death - not redeemed in any shape or form by being "camp" or "so bad it's good". It's just extremely shabby handiwork on all levels. Made in five minutes - and...just WHY?
I'm genuinely intrigued by this. How does it actually work? Who paid for this - and did they get their money back? I'm kinda thinking that...yes, perhaps they actually did. I mean, it doesn't make any sense that a film maker like Dennis Devine keeps going for decades, largely churning out insanely bad movies that make zero profit...and nobody notices. Surely, his movies must somehow turn a profit (for someone). Obviously not a large profit (that seems impossible), but still: a profit.
