Leave your thoughts about Clown.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfWatts shows early signs of style, but there's clearly a reason why his first film was buried for years. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Theodore SariklisClown runs out of steam and ultimately regresses into an under-lit, generic slasher-film, albeit with good practical effects. |
| What I Watched TonightMatt HudsonA few niggles along the way, but an enjoyable watch nonetheless - it felt predictable in parts but also original in others. |
| TheFrightFile.comDustin PutmanFrom its jokey birth as a faux trailer to its unique development into a fully formed picture, "Clown" has defied the odds. This is an eerie, auspicious, classily mounted fable of the macabre. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.A lot of the gore feels just downright mean spirited, especially when children become the primary targets. |
| Daily DeadHeather WixsonWith Clown, Jon Watts has crafted a genuinely creepy and disturbing body horror experience unlike anything I've ever seen before. |
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoWhile Clown is far from the disastrous misfire that typically stains VOD horror movies (most range from awful to “I never want to see a movie again”), it comes apart about halfway through, losing a very difficult tonal balance. Having said that, there’s more to like here than the studio burial would have you believe. |
| CinemalogueTodd Jorgenson... features an intriguing premise and some unsettling weirdness, yet many of the plot twists feel arbitrary and the suspense seems dialed back in favor of obligatory gore. |
| EspinofAlberto AbuínA brilliant idea where the director never over explains anything or falls into the exposition trap. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenJon Watts does nothing with the scarily funny notion of a respectable professional who suddenly refuses to shuck a party costume. |
