Not scary...

A lot of low budget comedy/horrors are like that from the UK to us Americans. You have to watch a few and it will grow on you.

Comedy as in campy even if you don't find it funny yourself. It doesn't take itself seriously. Pumping a dudes head till it explodes isn't your typical horror movie. Its supposed to be fun. And its horror because its a clown back from the dead killing people.

Ah here. It was good enough. I laughed at a few bits. These are sometimes my favourite to watch. Bloody, weird but ok in whole. Plus it filmed in Ireland.

The thing is it actually tried (and failed) to deliver a dreaded feeling and some scares (around an ancient cult of cheaply dressed clowns, no less) at the very beginning, but then takes a sharp detour into what they must believe it's dark humour, and... yeah, it feels disjointed. I am glad I didn't change channels five minutes into it, but I wouldn't be surprised if many people missed the not-so-bad parts because of the poor, oh so very poor introduction.

I give it a four - there's some good ideas here and there (Richie's death and the penis daydream, the fierce gay friend, "weeeeeeeeeee", Sarah's high heels of pain, and the friendship between the leads), but as a whole it's mediocre at best. Points for trying, I guess? It showed that the crew had a lot of fun filming this one.
