Adding comedy to horror again proves a recipe for acid reflux in this poor man's Nightmare on Elm Street rip-off. Leighton Meester's (Gossip Girl) friends and classmates are getting knocked off by a local burger chain's clown mascot, Horny the Clown (yeah, imagine the yuk-fest that provides), and of course discovers it all ties in to something her mother and her friends, who are all now (gasp) parents of the murder victims, did when they were her age. It gets really tired really fast. I started paying attention to other things, like how it seemed like there might not have been any budget for hair and make-up, or even hot water on set since both Meester and Melora Hardin, playing her mom, sported kinda greasy limp hair in most (but not all) the scenes in the film. That and feeling bad that Lola Glaudini left Criminal Minds then took a top billed role in this as a cop partnered with comedy "relief" Larry Joe Campbell (According to Jim) barely helped pass the time until the end credits and last bad metal song rolled.
