Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Suzie Lorraine plays Lauren and Tom Stedham plays Ray a couple that have rented a holiday house in the country. Lauren has had a breakdown and Sam appears to be an alcoholic. They are trying to rebuild their marriage after a bit of a rocky time. It is not long before Lauren starts to see a clown lurking in the garden or at the window, but of course no one believes a mad woman would they?This film is directed by Steve Sessions. Four years before this he made Dead clowns, so maybe clowns is a personal fear for him. I have not seen that film so cannot comment as to how this compares.If you have a fear of clowns then I would not worry as the clown here is not that scary. I found this film to be quite a struggle to sit through as nothing really happens and when it does it is not that interesting. The concept could have been quite scary (clown captures people and tortures them) but when people are tortured and all they can do is let out a gentle moan or have a hand cut off and not make a single sound, then this lacks some credibility. At the end of the movie it states that this was shot in six days, which, when you think of it, could it have been any better?

Ray hopes a little trip to a remote cabin will rekindle his relationship with Lauren (Suzi Lorraine), but soon he suspects her of seeing things, it doesn't help matters that she just got out of the loony bin. Elsewhere, a maniacal clown tortures and subsequently kills 'Mormans'. A few things work against this film, the is she crazy or sane angle is pretty much moot from the get go and thus the tension that that might've created is non-existent. Second to have Suzi Lorraine in a movie, and in one shower scene none the less, and never show her assets is borderline sacrilege, and three the lack of screaming in the torture scenes just stretches credibility way too far.That being said,the acting's pretty well done,the clown is effectively intimidating (even if the aforementioned torture scenes most definitely are not) and a chase sequence later in the film is tense. In the end, the good is offset by the detriments of the film

Wow...OK. So, after reading the little feud on here, I decided I had to see this movie for myself. This movie is HORRIBLE. I stopped watching it. I strongly recommend cleaning a closet instead of watching this movie, you'll be more spooked/entertained.It's low budget with bad acting.Whoever is giving this "movie" (because this is totally garbage) 10s is completely incorrect and should be disregarded.I am in no way connected to any of the other reviewers.Simply put, this garbage is not worth watching.Very, very, very, very BAD "MOVIE".

For one thing, the clown on the cover is nothing like the sad case for a 'killer clown' in the movie.The clown in the movie is sad, it looks like one of those drunk $2 an hour clowns that host children parties.The scenes between the two protagonists are long an drawn out with many long silent shots focusing on their faces. I think this is filler as the whole movie could have effectively been filmed in 30 minutes.The only ones to get more camera time are the cockroaches, yes normal little cockroaches, OK, we get it, the clown lives in a 'run down' place.The plot devices seemed just to be placed for a one off event further down the track and were not really followed through in their entirety, such as Rays Alcoholism and a back story for the pathetic clown.Final thoughts, if you are going to make an evil clown, please make him evil looking, evil acting, and not sad a sad little man in a $5 clown suit from Toys R Us.
