The Clown
Clown is definitely a better than average lower budget horror film. The concept is kind of ridiculous and simple but it's also horrifying and unique. A costume that is more than a costume, it's skin. Skin that slowly changes Kent into a demonic clown who eats children. It was definitely scary and gross but I also think the blood and gore could have been amped up a bit. Also the story line itself was a little rushed but ultimately I enjoyed it. I wouldn't mind a sequel here to perfect some of the imperfections from this one. Worth the watch if you like dark and beyond messed up horror like I do.
Better than expected.
I thought this movie was going to be a waste of time because of its reviews but I thought I should give it a try.
It is very different from how other clown movies approach the movie, and it was actually interesting to watch.
Decent film
This movie was better than I expected it to be, I'm pleased. I was interested the whole way through, I thought the acting was good. The clown makeup and costume was very well done. If you like this genre of film and are looking for a movie to sit back and unwind to for the day, give this film a go. Although if you're afraid of clowns, it will instead leave you on the edge of your seat!
An uplifting film about a strong, independent clown suit that won't let anything get in its way!
An interesting film about a man slowly turning into John C. Reilly.
Why when the man was in A&E for his clown nose did he not think to ask the doctor to try and remove his outfit? He would've become a medical marvel.
There was an awful lot of children approaching adults. Like the small boy rapping at the door with a bag of lucky charms.

Disturbing on many different levels
I was really looking forward to Clown after seeing the trailer, the concept seemed pretty original and interesting and I liked what I saw. If you felt the same way, I would highly recommend that you give this film a watch. In the end it surpassed my expectations and left me feeling pretty disturbed.
The acting from the leads is solid, Andy Powers especially is fantastic as Kent and carries the earlier parts of the film with a really good performance. Laura Allen is also very good as Kent's wife Meg whose journey through the film is in some ways as interesting to witness as his own. Some of the supporting cast are admittedly not fantastic, but that doesn't detract from the movie as a whole.
The film is generally well-paced but suffers a little during the middle where it seems to stall, don't worry if you feel this way because it soon gets going again and when it does, it really does. Some of the scenes towards the end will stay with me for a long time.
Clown is dark, disturbing, original and striking. One of the best horror films of recent years.

Did you know
- TriviaMovie posters featuring the clown were censored in Italy for being "too scary".
- GoofsWhen Kent is driving with Karlsson (at about 27 minutes), he starts turning into the demon, and his feet break through the front of his shoes. In the next scene, when Kent gets out of the car (after it crashes) and opens the back door to take Karlsson out, there's a quick shot of his shoes and they're intact.
