Clown Town (2016)


If you love good old-fashioned horror - suspense, screams, slashing and some boob-jiggle - then this film was made for you. Two young couples take a detour to reach a music concert, and then get stuck in the town of Clinton when one of them realizes she has forgotten her phone. Little do they know that Clinton is the very town where, to quote one of the characters, "all those girls went missing some years ago..." .

Given that the actors could have done a little bit better, the superb lighting (especially the blue moonlight effects), tight editing and a compelling script leave us waiting eagerly for first-time director Tom Nagel's further work.

This film hasn't found a US or international release yet, so we hope that anyone reading this will pay to watch this film and support the filmmakers, who have evidently given their all under very tight budgetary restrictions.
And since we know you'll look up IMDb in spite of everything we tell you about their rating systems, we'll make this redundant statement anyway - this film is worth so much more than a 4.1!
