I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

If you like slasher movies then you it owe it to yourself to watch this movie. Buy it, rent it, torrent it, whatever you do just see it.Decent slasher movies are extremely rare to find in this current age, don't get me wrong, many of them are made...just all of them look like some weird college project being shot in 480p.Do you want brutal kills? Check
Do you want nudity? In a weird way, check.
Do you want a decent soundtrack? Check
Do you want people that ACTUALLY attempt to fight back at the killer? Check
Do you want actual special effect makeup? CheckI hope this movie gets a sequel, it deserves it.

I grudgingly give this film a 5 for it's opening 1/2 hour or so and some fairly creepy moments, but it all goes downhill from there in my opinion as most films of this kind do. Ok yes, the clown is pretty creepy and yes there are some downright gruesome scenes. At first, him being a mime lends to the creepiness, but as the movie goes on it tends to take away from the creepiness in my opinion as he just makes funny faces and bloody teeth smiles, not to mention giving the finger to one of his attackers!! But the movie contains many if not most of the tired cliche's we are used to in these kinds of slasher films.
This includes the OFT repeated phrase "Hello, is there anybody here?".....great for letting the killer know your whereabouts of course. Having the killer dead to rights flat on his face, stabbing him once in the back, and then stabbing him 20 more times till dead...right???....NOOO how about running off!! And of the course the "indestructible villain", who continues to live after being stabbed multiple times in different parts of his body and bashed in the head HARD numerous times with 2x4's and several other different objects. Isn't this just a guy in a clown outfit?? AND OF COURSE coming back to life at the morgue after blowing his brains out in the previous scene. I don't think any of this lends to the films feel or creepiness, which at times does work and makes one squirm.
The acting is passable, especially in the first 1/2 hour or so...fairly engaging and believable. But some characters who appear later just don't make much sense and the acting regresses to B-movie fare. Those working and living in the what is seemingly an abandoned or shut-down warehous include a seemingly homeless woman who caresses and carries around a doll acting as if it is her real child?? Ummm, why?? An exterminator who happens to be working in the wee hours on halloween exterminating rats in said warehouse?? He is pretty much only there to allow access to the warehouse bathroom (and the domain of the killer clown) for our main female character to relieve herself after a hard night of partying with her flirtatious and fairly mindless companion. A companion who oddly seems to take a shine to the creepy clown (shooting selfies with him in the restaurant towards the start of the film), as opposed to being repulsed by his leering and creepy ways. How about a cliche' scene where said exterminator is wearing ear-buds listening to music as our protagonist SCREAMS LOUDLY for help as she is being whisked away by Art the Clown?? Convenient noise cancelling on those headphones...lol!!
To me, the film really goes downhill once the action turns to the warehouse. The killer clown who finds his victims no matter how far they run from him or how well they hide, the nonsensical addition of the crazy homeless woman, the bumbling exterminator's boss who comes to try and rescue him after getting a distress call on his cellphone, and the sister of our main character who sets out to come to their rescue when the car they are driving receives the obligatory flat tire. She obviously gets roped into the creepiness at the warehouse after the clown himself texts for her "to come around the back, your sister is sick". She lives to tell the tale even though her scalp and breasts are skinned and worn by the clown in one of his more creepy scenes. She then is revealed as the horribly disfigured girl shown in the opening scene, who is being interviewed by a female journalist and being labelled the "only survivor of the massacre".
Very good first half- hour to 45 minutes give the film a real chance, but the director seems to fall into the same old horror tropes and types no matter how gruesome the blood and gore gets. Watchable, but don't expect any ground-breaking ideas or outcome!!

This film has the scariest clown I have ever seen, he is disgusting, evil, sadistic with no empathy for what he does. When he just stares at people he's creepy as hell and then that smile so repulsive and wicked, he kills his victims smirking away like a demented demon you so want the victims to get away and that clown face gets his comeuppance but no of course not. By the end of the film I feel is his face his real face as it seems to look so real how can it be just makeup and a false nose with his bloody teeth. At the end he shoots himself but in the morgue awakes like Jason vorhees to kill the mortician so part 2will be made?

This is supposed to be a horror movie not just a movie with literally 0 jump scares (at least for me) found this very boring and really bad made, they had the chance to kill him like 100 billion times and all they did was knock him out and run away just to find the all the door locked not to mention the way every character came into play in the right moment 1 by 1, and I don't really get what kind of entity is the killer, is he a sort of immortal being? or why did he revive? too silly for me.
