This movie absolutely left me wanting more. I thought the opening sequence with the blonde woman (whose robe was wide open) was totally a clever way to get the action moving and help foreshadow the rest of the film. The characters were all very believable as friends as well, although it appeared that even though Mark and Brandon were friends enough to go away camping together for the weekend, Brandon still had no clue how Mark met his wife. Tracey and Brandon also had great chemistry as well, and even though Brandon had sex with Denise in the middle of the same night he had sex with Tracey previously, I was totally rooting for Brandon and Tracey to get together. I could totally feel the anguish and the confusion Mark felt as he looked for his wife in the woods as well, and when he had sex with Denise on that very same expedition, I knew I was watching something truly special unfold. Whilst Densise and Mark engaged in a brief respite from searching for Susan(whom they feared missing) and had sexual intercourse on the ground, I found the wood chopping scenes, taking place at the same time, very chilling. Nothing made me gasp in fear more though than when the killer clown bellowed aloud in the woods, then appeared at the door to the house and yelled "welcome to hell (expletives)!". Very genius interchange between characters indeed. In the end, I found this movie a true cinematic work of art, filled with plot twists and suspense aplenty.

If this film was a comedy, I would have given it a 10. Oh my, where do I begin? Put it this way -- I've seen lots of terrible horror films, but this one makes Troll 2 look like freakin' Saving Private Ryan. It's as if a group of porn filmmakers decided to make a horror film, changed their mind in midproduction and decided to do a comedy, then went back to horror, and then decided that they should have just stuck with porno (softcore at that). Everything about this film is simply terrible: the musical score (someone shoot the guy who invented the Yamaha keyboard), the script, the directing, the cinematography, the acting. There simply are no words to describe this. Oh wait, yes there are: Holy $*%!.

OK, so I rented this clown-like-Chainsaw-Massacre-esquire film, not expected much, but I did like the novel approach to a serial killer film. (from the back of the box is the following synopsis) "At first, it was just a joke - a myth around the campfire - for five friends staying at a remote cabin in the Texas woods. But when they began to disappear one-by-one, replaced by scattered, bloodied body parts and voodoo effigies, the remaining few scramble for their lives. But he's out there. And he's sick. And all he wants is blood..." So obviously from the get-go it doesn't make sense: why is this clown in the woods to begin with? Why a clown? Why are their dolls with the word "food" drawn on them? Why why why? Hardly anything gets answered in this 1 hour 30 min. bore fest except where this clown lives. The characters are dumb guys, dumb girls, and a hell of a lot of bitchiness. One in particular is a girl whom they brought from a restaurant up the road, whom they thought they should help because she was getting hassled by some guy she knew. What warrants that as an excuse to bring a girl into your circle of friends or their cabin? She, of course, begins planting seeds of jealousy, having the men have sex with her by feeding their dumb minds everything they want to hear.The music was an average affair (standard frantic keyboard music like in every horror film without differences). The actors seemed to be brought from some soap opera the way they complained and whined about everything. The idea that the main guy in the film takes this girl to the cabin as their first date makes for a horrible date, but of course, she unrealistically gives herself to him on the first night of getting to know him. There was hardly a budget spent of anything, it seems, but there was a clown outfit and plenty of cheap $1-store dolls lying around in the woods, which was a horribly bland place to shoot this whole movie (been done too many times). I was also waiting for the clown to jump into the house to kill the remaining 4 characters of the film (in through the glass maybe), but nothing exciting like that ever entered the film. I guess you were just supposed to like the clown being a killer or something.I had to give the film a 3. It was an interesting premise (clown as the Texas Chainsaw Massacre character, essentially) and I'll give them a star for acting serious all the way through when the movie could've totally been a B-movie-style video, but they opted for the more legitimate style of video. But ultimately, I probably would've felt like renting the Killer Klowns from Mars video again before going back to check this out. Ah, but that cover art...pretty awesome drawing.

When I had a movie and then I saw some previews and then I saw this trailer that I seem to like,another movie on a killer clown.So I saw it and boy did they made it damn good.Later I rent it to see how good it was and boy this let me a big disappointment.This was a crappy boring,pointless,stupid movie every made in my whole damn life.Not so many people died,the view was awful like a long time ago movie.The only good thing about it was the story of the clown and the when it finished.I don't even know why they let this horrible no good piece of crap in video.This should belong on the bottom worst movie created,bottom #1.People, start voting on this movie and give it a one,it deserves to be on the bottom 100.Come on people keep on voting to make this bottom number 1.And what I don't get is the ending when they explain why they killed them.That was a stupid idea they ever come up with why they are killing them.Plese god,no more movies that suck like this dumb s**t,no more.
