Clown Reviews
I would ask any up-and-coming special-effects artist: Just because you can mold a convincing replica of a 6-year-old's severed arm, does it necessarily mean that you should?

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.

"Clown" has the goods. Refreshingly dark and sick, this is a movie for those who like cinematic monsters that hit so hard they leave a mark.

Jon Watts does nothing with the scarily funny notion of a respectable professional who suddenly refuses to shuck a party costume.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 12, 2016
The film cuts both ways, with its clownish killer part Stephen King's Pennywise, part reality's John Wayne Gacy, & though the material comes with its own inherent ridiculousness, Watts sticks to the harder route of never playing it for laughs.
