Review of Clownhouse (1990) by George K — 09 Aug 2008
Still favorite movie of all time! The music is very well spooky as well as original. Loved that huge house where the kids lived. So many hiding spots for these mental patients to hide at. The acting is not bad, not exactly top-notch either, but its wonderfully played by the clowns.
What I love about this movie the most is that our villain's do not speak, not a sound other a laugh in the beginning but a maniacal laugh. Other than that, completely quiet which makes them that more terrifying.
This movie has been my favorite since I saw it the first time I saw it. Clowns what can I say they sure are scary..not knowing what they are, or what they are thinking but the settings, and the pace on how it makes you wait to see whats going to happen brings this movie to a high honor.
Also, one of Sam Rockwell's first films he did, so its quite a joy to see on how he has become who he is from seeing him in his younger years. Nathan Forrest Winters did a amazing job as playing the terrified boy who has the major fear of courolophobia.
Geoffrey the mild brother does not do a bad job either, for sticking up for Casey when his asshole brother Randy does not. Also, one other thing is the scene with Casey going to the fortune teller is spooky enough,someone warning you of death on your door is worst.
However, this time they come to the house. Great movie for Halloween, or anytime your just in the mood for some fun and fright. Enjoy and turn out all the lights, get a snack and watch this amazing horror movie of suspense and terror.
