8/10
Endgame In Edenderry
15 September 2023
Apocalypse Clown: There is something Beckettian about a bunch of Clowns accompanied by a journalist who have survived a solar flare which has apparently ended technological civilization (at least in Ireland). The journey across the Midlands in a a starter handle clown car as anything more advanced won't work. They encounter new age travelers who dance the blues away. But they are pursued by psychotic living statue performers (James Joyce & the statue Of Liberty) who hold a grudge against the equally deranged Funzo, she once mistook lighter fluid for laughter fluid. This is a strange quest which diverts into The Great Alphonso seeking world Domination by recruiting an army of children. Throw in a one-eyed Boyband Singer/conspiracy theorist (the other member drowned in Alphonso's gunge tank on his ill-fated TV show) along with the death of the Director of the International Clown Academy, Clown funerals, circus big tops, the sadness of an age where clowns are no longer appreciated and hundreds of gags fill this entertaining horror/comedy. At 102 minutes ir;s perhaps 12 minutes to long but well worth a watch. Directed & Co-Written by George Kane, 7.5/10.
