What I liked: There were some interesting choices story-wise, that made the movie interesting. For Example, I think the idea to have social media as a big part of the film, and include phones with signal was very different for horror. Over all, I loved the story idea. I also liked the clown characters, because who doesn't like creepy killer clowns?
What I didn't like: 90% of the characters. So many of them were annoying and the acting was way too over the top. Even the main villain over acted in my opinion. I didn't mind a few of the characters, but most of them bugged me. Also, the plot was a bit confusing. Like why didn't they show more flashbacks? I don't get why Valentine is angry at Kane? Or what is wrong with the rocker chick's brother? How were half of the people related to horror specifically? Because the only ones I can easily trace back to horror is that one girl starred in a horror movie and one guy plays horror video games. Maybe more was said and I missed it (because the sound quality sucked) but I don't remember them giving great backstory explanations while in the bus. Why does "Miss Valentine" appear to be Kane's son in the beginning flashbacks when it's later revealed that her dad was Valentine? And why is she then working with Kane? I really wanted to understand the twist ending, because I LOVE twist endings. But I had no clue what was going on.
If someone can write a review and answer any of my questions, I would appreciate it, because I hate finishing a movie and feeling so confused. If the characters could have been slightly less annoying, and the storyline had been filled in properly, I think I could have really liked this film, which is why its getting a 5 instead of a 1 or 2. Unfortunately, they just did not execute the film correctly.
