| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...feels as though it'd be much more effective as a 22-minute episode of Tales from the Crypt... |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesWinters' terror is all too real, and becomes unbearably dismaying to watch. |
| User ReviewBrandan WI haven't seen this movie in years The memories I have are blurry but I can say without fear of equivocation, that this was a fairly scary and creepy movie; specially for those who have clownphobia.The premise was pretty good and interesting for a fast paced slasher flick. So three escaped convicts "hide" in a big classy house where three kids are left alone.The atmosphere of the house was truly creepy. Accompained to that, there were also decent death scenes provoked by the convicts. Overall this is an entertaining slasher flick that worths a watch... specially if you have clownphobia. |
| User Reviewloopy lThe movie about the clowns who were escaped mental patients, was a good movie |
| User ReviewTiffany VAwesome clown movie! This movie is freaky-looking-over-you're-shoulder scary! One of Sam Rockwell's first movies. |
| User ReviewAZ Dthis one was awesome! it's like Halloween but w/ 3 killers. i love it. Horror movies only make you live better! |
| User ReviewJesse FAlthough the back story that went on during the production of this film is very disturbing, the film itself is fantastic. One of the best of 80's horror. |
| User ReviewAndrew GI've always loved this film from the first time I watched it to just a couple of weeks ago when I downloaded it onto my computer. From a horror film lover, such as myself, I find this film to be great. This is what, imo, a film using only a minimum amount of characters should look like. The actors all seem to get along with each other and they truly act as if they were brothers. Even if there will always be a black cloud hanging over this film, due to the escapades of the director Victor Salva, I would love to have this film in my collection. |
| User ReviewGeorge KStill favorite movie of all time! The music is very well spooky as well as original. Loved that huge house where the kids lived. So many hiding spots for these mental patients to hide at. The acting is not bad, not exactly top-notch either, but its wonderfully played by the clowns. What I love about this movie the most is that our villain's do not speak, not a sound other a laugh in the beginning but a maniacal laugh. Other than that, completely quiet which makes them that more terrifying. This movie has been my favorite since I saw it the first time I saw it. Clowns what can I say they sure are scary..not knowing what they are, or what they are thinking but the settings, and the pace on how it makes you wait to see whats going to happen brings this movie to a high honor. Also, one of Sam Rockwell's first films he did, so its quite a joy to see on how he has become who he is from seeing him in his younger years. Nathan Forrest Winters did a amazing job as playing the terrified boy who has the major fear of courolophobia. Geoffrey the mild brother does not do a bad job either, for sticking up for Casey when his asshole brother Randy does not. Also, one other thing is the scene with Casey going to the fortune teller is spooky enough,someone warning you of death on your door is worst. However, this time they come to the house. Great movie for Halloween, or anytime your just in the mood for some fun and fright. Enjoy and turn out all the lights, get a snack and watch this amazing horror movie of suspense and terror. |
| User ReviewPoKeRJuBeSaCeSFantastic horror movies to come out of the 1980's. No other movie has matched its clown theme so well! the eeriness of the movie is fantastic and the chases and the kids involved make it an unmissable 80s classic! |
