SPOILER ALERT !!!!What a weird but wonderfully fun film this is. A very Lynchian approach to a narrative, which is a good thing in my book. Anytime you have the balls to show a little girl stab her mother in a film, well that's indie filmmaking at it's finest. No major horror film would have it's studio allow this. Just random crazy stuff here. check it out !

This was the most terrible movie I have EVER seen. Im serious. The acting was terrible. The plot was bad. Scenes went on for nothing. Oh and the sound was pathetic. it would go loud and then low constantly and I don't just mean in loud scenes, just bad audio period. The beginning of the movie is pretty much the end. Then it cuts to the story of a little girl and her so called reasons for why she is messed up. Once you realize what's going on it is quite easy to figure out the story. The mom is pathetic and I think that is the only thing that gave this movie any value, the fact that the mom is so terrible that you have no sympathy for her at all. I won't go into detail as it would spoil the movie, however it doesn't matter because it's not even worth watching. Save yourselves, don't bother with this movie it's SO bad.If I met this director i'd tell him to quit film making and find a new career!!

This is a very good low budget horror film. the mood is unsettling, kinda like a David lynch film. The clowns are creepy and effective. There is more going on this film, then just your generic b-movie horror film of teenagers being killed off one by one. I was highly entertained. I looked up the budget on this film, it was something like 70,000 ! and they shot on 35mm. films looks great visually, not sure to credit the director or DP on that one? someone needs to give these filmmakers a real budget, and see what they can come up with.... perhaps a Shattered Lives 2 is on the horizon? I loved the clown characters, and feel there is much more story behind them, where they come from? what motivates them. etc.

This movie starts out great with a bunch of people getting killed by someone wearing what looks like a Stormtrooper mask. That turned out to be the highlight of the movie. There is one brief scene of violence halfway through and clips of the opening massacre are replayed at the end (stick with your strengths, I guess). The rest of the movie is an incredibly boring story about a young girl who won't be confused with Dakota Fanning anytime soon. Her mom is having an affair and is unhappy in her marriage. Yawn, this is more like a Lifetime drama than a horror movie. Two of the girl's toy clowns appear full-size to her and tell her to do evil things in distorted voices. Let's just say the movie's half over before she even picks up a knife... If you have to see this, watch the opening scene then hit Eject. You'll thank me later.
