My first impression was that this was AI generated slop. Waxy performances, cliches/tropes, generic script and character development. If you like formulaic cheap productions, this is your film. It's bad enough though to make difficult to even roast. To me, this whole movie stinks of cringe. Neither comedy, nostalgia, nor classic horror references make this movie enjoyable. It under delivers on almost every plane.

I will admit, the score does work well if you're willing to overlook everything else.

It would almost be average except for the ham fisted attempts at character development and acting. There were many times where I was pulled out of the story because of ridiculous scenarios portrayed.

Eg, *knocking at the front door* main charcters reaction is a very confused "who is knocking?!" Like my god, who could fathom that someone might be knocking on a door in a suburban neighborhood lol. Scenes where the main character is supposedly painting but they left the minor detail of no paint being applied to the canvas. Main character's wife pulls the brilliant move of leaving her husband the day he's let out of a mental institution and then is confused why he's upset about it. All this and more show a complete lack of understanding and writing legitimate character development and actions.

On the plus, there are a few creepy moments but nothing new or worthy of any awards. If the unintentional laughable moments weren't a part of this movie I'd probably rate it a 5 instead of a 2.

This movie will not be a cult hit now or later. It's absolute garbage and tries to disguise itself as trendy and fun. This waste of time is neither funny nor horrific except in the sense of how much a waste of time it is.

The script, plot development, and dialogue feel like they were designed by a cheap AI where the only prompt was, "write a cool horror movie with a clown in it!"
