    • Trivia
      David Howard Thornton, who portrays Art the Clown, has previous mime experience, which he utilizes in his performance.
    • 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.

    Too dumb to live, apparently.
    Do you ever watch a slasher film and the characters make SO MANY DUMB CHOICES that you stop hoping they'll get out of it and hope they're put out of their misery instead?

    Yeah, this movie is like that.

    Art the Clown is a plus because he is truly terrifying-great costume/makeup and great characterization on his part. But the victims ultimately committed the sin of making me not care if they lived or died. They weren't bad concepts, just poorly executed (no pun intended). The film harkens back to some traditional slashers in the mystery of who the killer and his motivation, so that doesn't bother me at all for a slasher film, but the characters' dumb choices are awful no matter the kind of film.
