Holy Crap!! Better Hide the Kids!
3 April 2015 | by (Corpus Christie Texas) – See all my reviews

HOLY CRAP!!!! BETTER HIDE THE KIDS!!!! I watched this movie not expecting much given the title. Boy my wife and I were in for a Surprise!!! This was the best Horror movie I have seen in a while. This movie went well beyond our expectations.

This was a "Gutwrenching" wild ride of a true horror.

I still cannot believe the carnage done to those sweet innocent kids!!! I also found the story regarding the "origin" of "The Clown" an interesting touch.

The title although appropriate weakened my expectations a bit, so perhaps they should have used a better title.

This movie would have given me nightmares forever if I had seen it as a kid!!!!! The acting was more than top notch, in that their reactions to the horror before them was believable on so many levels Well done!
