Trying to find a good movie in the Netflix horror section is more terrifying than the movies themself

I don't really find clowns scary specially not that pennywise, but this movie had me at moments.

Clown is about a father who wants to surprise his kid on his birthday by dressing up as a clown but it turns out that the clown suit is cursed and can not be removed unless a specific number of kids are killed by the guy who is wearing the suit, all this leads to a some good body horror sequences filled with relentless violence and gore , there is a scene when the father sees a video of a guy who is possessed by the suit that was so fucking dope and scary. It's the side actors who aren't that good performance wise which spoils the fun.

Nevertheless it was a good watch specially if you are interested in cursed objects.

This current wave of Canadian horror is looking promising. Like Girlhouse, Clown doesn't pander to conservative audiences when it comes to murdering children. That's a trend we haven't experienced much in the age of political correctness. This features a sequence in an indoor "fun zone" where kids are being ripped apart and gutted by a cannibalistic clown demon. Vexed babysitters should enjoy scaring the little monsters with this grim fairy tale.

This was actually so much better than I expected it to be! Some of the acting is rough, and "horror movie logic" occasionally happens, but overall this is a very solid horror film with an interesting take on the whole killer clown thing.

Since when did we start top-billing cameos? Half of the people watching this probably wouldn't even recognize Eli Roth's quick, blink and you'll miss it, appearance in Clown. It's bad enough that people keep hoping to brand his name, slapping it on horror films via the producer's credit doesn't give your genre effort any more weight.

Clown is such a conventional horror film that if it were any more by-the-books, it would be pointless to watch outside of a trailer. It's all represented here: false/jump scares, last minute ankle grabs, the professorial expert, and the final girl.

Commendable special FX and an intriguing mythos combined, helped to keep the film watchable but failed to transcend mediocrity.

A man puts on a clown suit for his kids birthday but can't get it off as it's actually demon skin, madness ensues. This was a strange viewing experience as I kept thinking any minute now it's going to become a really comedic film. But the longer it didn't the more it really unnerved me. And then it got really friggin' dark. The leads were great, brought much sympathy to their roles and the effects were cool.

"I hate clowns."

Consistantly entertaining and unexpectedly fantastic! Clown delivers in every aspect: special effects (except one small CGI slip-up near the end), balance of humour and terror, and an engaging plot. This needs a UK blu-ray release as soon as possible please!

A normal family man finds a clown costume and puts it on for his sons birthday party, the trouble begins when he try's to take the costume off.......
This is basically a slasher movie but it differentiates itself from the usual crop by also focusing on the main characters inner turmoil as he transforms from loving family man into a child killing clown. The film also throws in some black humour and some downright nasty body horror. Andy Powers puts in a good performance in the lead role and he's well supported by the likes of Laura Allen and Peter Stromare.

My Rating: 4.4 | 10

Was searching for a crappy film to watch with the guys on discord and accidentally stumbled onto Jon Watts’ directorial debut.

The reviews are so wrong.

Low-budget, balls-to-the-wall, incredibly tense. Genuinely great directing. 

Dope film.

Shut up this is legit underrated the guy pukes rainbows

they really said “what if we recreated IT, but pennywise is a dad.”
still decently entertaining though.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Creepy

A high recommendation for clown aficionados, a low recommendation for everyone else. Think of the children!

imagine making this film and instead of being sent to jail or whatever, you get to make spiderman for kevin feige

Is this trying to make us believe that not all clowns are demons? Very funny, Satan.

Unlike him, I don't need a suit

This was fun, then turned darker than Satan's wazzers once children went from at peril to in pieces!!! GOOD TIMES, some proper gross body horror, some great scares and build up in areas.
The second half was not as good as the first or it would have got a better rating, but still, definitely worth a watch from me!?

"Jack, we have to kill your daddy."

Second time watching this, and it's a lot more fun when you know what to expect (and when you're watching it with someone who hasn't seen it yet). It's easy to see why Jon Watts has gone on to do bigger films with a certain web-slinging superhero, because he's definitely no slouch behind the camera. It was also nice to see the lovely creature effects by Alterian Inc. in HD this time. The CGI is still fairly dodgy, but thankfully it's used sparingly. (There's nothing worse than a creature feature where the creatures are all zeros and ones.) Overall, it's a fairly creepy, if occasionally cheesy, monster movie.
