Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

horrorgasm Look, we all know about Victor Salva's past by now. I don't know about you, but I have a huge disconnect in my mind between a creator's personal life and their work. I still think Jeepers Creepers is a good movie even if I'd probably spit in Victor Salva's face if I met him in real life. Clownhouse is NOT a good movie though. It's just a typical piece of 80's straight to video trash where almost nothing happens for the majority of the film and by the time things finally get moving the payoff is pathetic and just not worth it. The kids are annoying and the killers are boring and have no personality whatsoever. They're just sad, silent Michael Meyers types, but minus all the supernatural ability and creative kills. I've seen much worse, but it's just a forgettable snoozefest at best. It gets REALLY hard to maintain that previously mentioned disconnect with some of the content in this movie too. The only creepy thing that happens in Clownhouse is how many completely unnecessary scenes there are with the young boys taking off all their clothes. It really stands out because there was no need for there to be so many scenes like this that didn't even have any relation to the story at all. Looking back on it, it's actually pretty weird that no one saw this and thought something was wrong with this guy. Hell, how did the people working on the set not think something really wrong was going on too? It's certainly an unfortunate and disturbing set of circumstances and yet another good reason to not waste your time on this poor excuse for a film.

gwnightscream This 1989 horror film tells about 3 brothers who become stalked by a trio of escaped, mental patients dressed as circus clowns. This could've been better in my opinion. One of the problems is the clowns don't do much killing and the other is that the kids are half naked at times due to the perverted, director. A younger, Sam Rockwell is also featured as the oldest brother. Clowns are creepy, but if you've seen "Killer Klowns from Outer Space" and "It," this hardly compares.

fabiogaucho Many people who were kids during the 80s and enjoyed horror have those movies that they "almost" watched: it was up there in the VHS shelf, but you decided not rent unless you could have some friends watching with you. This is one of them for me. Nowadays, they are only slightly scaring, but attractive for the nostalgia. Many of those films complete garbage, most are forgettable (and forgotten) while a few are little gems of the genre. This is one of them: there is plenty of tension and scares, and a creepy premise. Almost no gore, apparently due to budgetary reasons, but the director makes a good job of not making it missed. I don't have to say too much about the lack of production values and sub-par acting, since they are pretty standard and the audience for this movie surely is not too demanding in that area. I prefer the horror/supernatural films from that period, but the slashers are OK. If you like the Friday 13th series and other stuff that scared you back when you were 11, this is definitely an above average flick that deserves a look. (I don't like giving star ratings - they're stupid)

unendurable_lampoonery I am a huge fan of horror of all kinds, this movie is poorly acted, filmed, written, and executed. the clown's just look like fat stupid stunt men wearing clown costumes and are not scary at one point in the whole entire movie. A story that has men escaping a mental asylum and wearing clown outfits, not original at all, not even a twist ending it's just a plane boring cat and mouse chase movie with no blood violence or charisma. i found this movie terrible.The acting wasn't the worst but it was still fairly boring and lacking, but i think this may have been from a poorly written script. also a seven year old boy should be old enough to realize hiding under a table is a little bit stupid. I don't mind a pointless movie once in a while, but when it is pointless on all grounds, i think it's terrible, there was no pointless gore, swearing, bad lines, or anything that can make a bad movie good, just plane boring director thinking his amazing, but is just boring. 1/10 stars.
