Clowns

Film was generic and clunky at times but Clowns is something to enjoy during this Halloween lockdown. I'm surprised this wasn't on amazon prime actually. I wished there was more with the clowns but alas we receive a cliffhanger like no other. The script needed work and the story is weak, hardly any jump scares but maybe that was the intention.

Saw this on YouTube and thought it was great! Wished it was a feature though as I felt the second act starts to become interesting. Excellent lighting (especially when 80% of the film takes place at night in the forest) I was thoroughly impressed by that part. I hope this gets made into a feature length film one day cause the premise was certainly interesting.

I'm trying to get ahold of this film because it sounds interesting. Where can I watch this?

I would've enjoyed this movie if it wasn't for the script. Very unimaginative and unoriginal, unlikable characters (especially the clowns themselves) and nothing made sense. It was quite obvious that nobody disagreed with with any of Tomb's scriptwriting flaws and they decided to go along with it despite the stupid plot-holes and confusing storyline. Hopefully this is a learning curve for Tomb as she clearly needs more advice on how to write.

One of the aspects I always loved about "Clowns" was the cheesy practical cut-out gore effects. In this one there are still plenty of those but the CGI blood splashes that accompany them kind of take you out of the moment. Also there are some silly found footage camera effects that are more distracting than they are effective. Lesson to no-budget filmmakers please stay away from the computer graphics (this coming from a guy who does CGI for movies), and keep to the practical effects.

Overall Clowns is a decent slasher flick that would have been much better if it didn't rely so heavily on computer FX. I like how it tried to do something a little different by killing the clown and introducing a new killer but ultimately the movie was a bit of a let down due to the digital fx.
