Trivia

Jenna Kanell insisted on remaining tied up in between takes of the scene so that she would feel psychologically as if she were tied up when filming.

Goofs

In the strangulation scene at around minute 30:30, Art's thumbs clearly have no contact with his victim's windpipe, which they would need for an efficient "front-to-front" attack as depicted.

Quotes

EMT Roman: How can you eat a greasy croissant while you're cutting up dead bodies?
Coroner: Sweetheart, I've been doing this twenty-two years, alright? Once you've seen an eight-month-old microwaved to death... everything else is just old hat.

User Reviews

Like watching hide & seek for 90 mins; tedious & a bit dull

This film really needed a PLOT. And characters, some people to root for. Instead, the poor pacing, lack of tension and suspense made for a kind of dull film experience. Yes, Art is a crazy, vicious clown killer. If that's all you want, then you'll see it here as he wounds, kills and dismembers people. The problem is, he will injure someone--a woman's ankle is almost torn out--and the next scene, she's running. People have their heads bashed in...and later, are able to get up and function. It really doesn't make a lot of sense and since Art seems to pop up in more places than possible, he's never really a surprise--he's overused. Clearly the director knew the story was thin, so every few minutes, Art pops up to attack someone. It really is disappointing since the short films showed some potential but when a whole film is given to Art, he's boring and predictable. I'm sure there will be another one--I hope the screenplay is given as much attention as the gore effects.
