Review of Clown (2014) by Nikky A — 01 Apr 2015
I'm going to be honest here. I was actually KIND of excited to see this... thing. I thought it had potential to possibly, and I use that work generously, put fear back into a horror movie circled around something to do with a clown. Sadly, that's not the case.
Clown starts off way too fast, almost giving the impression that it NEEDS to get you into it because it knows that the rest is just a straight up flat line that has some originality, but none at ALL at the same time.
Honestly, I enjoyed the back story behind the clown and thought that it was a bit of a fresh take on the subject, but, that is ALL THAT I LIKED. Acting was not that good. It had some redeeming qualities, like the blatant Loomis-type character. I kind of liked him, although he was never used the way he should have been used.
A lot of the story that didn't involve the clown was lazy and just stupid. Nothing else to say, just... God awful.
Overall, this movie is kind of like a smart kid who dropped out of high-school. It has potential, it just doesn't care and laughs at anything that shines light on the fact it has potential.
4/10. I was hopeful.
