To me, this movie is perfection.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I really wasn't sure whet to expect from this film, I tend to enjoy foreign films more than huge production American films so I figured I would give it 90 minutes. The story line was surprisingly original with a feel similar to Drop Dead Fred (1991). Goofy and playful, the kill scenes are done with a funny over the top clownish feel. Not realistic but they don't need to be. The puns are at times worthy of Olympic quality eye rolls but as bad as they are, they work somehow. Ross Noble's performance was seemingly stifled, you get the feeling he is capable of more but was constrained. Some of the scenes they chose were both not funny and pointless to the story. Having Stitches beat the family cat to death by slamming it on the wall and some dresser was both not funny and entirely pointless, not to mention disturbing. Although you can tell it's a stuffed animal and not a real cat. By the end of the film, you have given all the eye rolls anyone is capable of given and just want the story to end. The film doesn't take itself too seriously and you have to be in the mood for that because they are very serious about not being too serious. It looks like they had fun making it, and they left the end open to a sequel. So if you are a fan of this kind of film, you may be in luck. Cheers!

The comedy genius of Ross Noble is put to excellent use in this brilliantly conceived horror satire. In the lead role of the tragic clown, Noble is nothing less than superb. He is the pillar that supports the film and makes it so memorable. The director is obviously a master with the camera and keeps the pace almost frenetic as the hilariously horrible proceedings build to their satiric climax. It doesn't hurt that the script is insightful, well written, and full of societal observations that cut to the bone. Overall, a beautifully realized horror comedy that is slashingly effective, tremendously entertaining, and borders on cinematic magnificence at times.

I thought this movie would scare the pants off of my legs, but when I first saw it, I actually started liking it. Things i liked about it: 1.) Of course! The puns! That is just good.2.) I actually knew how painful it would be to get your dick ripped right off your crotch. Ouch! Plus it was funny when he said "Give me back my dick!" 3.) "I ate a cookie." 4.) *Knocks stuff over* "Fight! Fight! Fight!" 5.) Cool deaths. I also liked that girl's death with the umbrella. That is genius! 6.) Stitches clicked his feet then shuffled off. I just love that. 7.) I loved the plot. Excellent. Thats what I think of this movie. It is one of my favorites!

The film opens with Stitches the clown have doggy-style sex with a fully clothed young lady. This pretty much sets the tone of the movie.The plot line is pure and simple: mess with a clown and he will come back for you.The film is neither graphic or terrifying or moving or titillating or extraordinary in any way. But its strength lies in the fact it doesn't pretend to be anything different.About ninety percent of the budget is blown on the death scene effects - which are pretty standard but entertaining - so the rest of the film weighs on Ross Noble and the cast of unknown, young actors who give great performances. The story delves into their characters just enough so you invest in them.The film is almost two stories one about a killer clown, the other about teenagers house party.Nothing special here, but that really isn't a bad thing. If you like horror and fancy an old school slasher flick to burn up an odd 90 minutes then this is perfect!
