(written December 2006)
This movie was quite good, better then I expected. Nobody seems able to make a good clown horror film, but this one's not too bad at all. It's got some good scares in here, and the acting's not as bad as I expected out of a B film like this. The characters are genuinely interesting, and I don't find myself looking back on this film with any contempt. It's a solid movie. Nothing really unpleasant or glaringly awful about it. I wouldn't even call this a B-film necessarily, it feels a bit more polished then that, not as messy and unprofessional.
I do have to point out, however, that this film never really grabs you by the throat and goes full-throttle either. It's good, but it had the potential to really pull out some huge shocks, and thrill you like a top-class movie would. It never climaxes, never reaches a high point. It does stay on a good level of quality all the way through, but it never rises above 'good' at all, unfortunately.
The ending was very good, too.
