Clowntergeist (2017) Reviews

• Just a Mockbuster

  lordkrythic2017-09-12

  Warning, this review is more of a rant. This movie is clearly a Mockbuster that is coinciding with the release of the new Stephen King It movie. Watching the trailer itself plainly displays the directors lack of creativity and originality, and like many wannabe directors/writers, he chooses instead to piggyback off of higher budget movies. This makes the director/creators, by it's very definition, a parasite. And quite honestly, I don't understand the logic. You want to be a director/writer and make movies, but you can't think of and create your own content? Clearly, this movie serves more along the lines as a cry for help than anything else. This entire situation would be different if the movie served as a sort of parody of the "It" franchise, but it's clear that it doesn't; the movie tries to take itself very seriously, thus infringing on copyright and intellectual property. I rated this movie a 1/10, and I highly suggest that if you appreciate movies and respect the art that they inherently stand for, that you also do the same.

• Clownorcist

  A girl with a fear of clowns starts getting nightmares of a clown being in the house. The clown kills her dog and leaves a balloon with a date and time on it. She finds out it wasn't a dream and the date on the balloon is when she is going to die. She has two days to figure stuff out. This was a pretty crappy flick. The picture and sound was impressive but that was it. For one the clown wasn't a ghost but in fact a demonic clown. Clownorcist would've been more fitting . The clown wasn't scary looking at all and he moved like a gorilla zombie. If you can get past this you'll have to deal with the story not making much sense. She knows what time she's going to die but instead she keeps worrying about getting killed all the time. You keep yelling at the screen "you got one more day he's not going to kill you yet?" and the worst is we are supposed to be in suspense that she might die. The violence is tame but there is a ton of jump scares and just as many clichés. Maybe it should've been Clichetergeist or sorry Clicheorcist. Maybe just forget about this one altogether that is obviously trying to jump on the "It" train similar to Circus Kane that just came out. 4 balloons filled with dog guts out of 10.

  Cashing in on the renewed popularity of killer clowns Clowntergeist tells the story of a demonic clown who kindly provides you with a red (Shocker) balloon with the date/time he's going to kill you on. No poltergeists here, just a really dreadful clown (Not even the one on the poster) who grunts like an animal and has variable supernatural rules. The cast are quite competent but don't have much to work with and the finale twist is laughable. Would have worked better as a horror comedy. Want a decent clown horror? Watch Clown House (1989) The Good: Predictable but decent opening "Twist" Some quite original ideas The Bad: Crap antagonist Poor twist Lore makes little sense/isn't explained Things I Learnt From This Movie: The redneck weapon of choice is the crossbow

• Clowntergeist is a clownsnoozefest

  A Young girl who's dangerously afraid of clowns get's her worst nightmare to reality when a clown serial killer comes to town. Clowntergeist is one of the worst of 2017, with some of the worst acting I've seen in some time and a horrible script and direction.

• mistakes

  All in all , for what it is , a pretty good movie. However, there were a number of very obvious mistakes in continuity. Really too many to point out but the funniest one was when Emma was driving alone and her car lights went out and she had to spend the night on the side of the road, she was driving a blue Toyota and when she woke up in the morning the car magically transformed into a red Toyota. Also,you'll notice that she was driving on the wrong side of the road, not only that , she was on the correct side of the road when she went to pull over to the shoulder, even started turning the wheel to the right and yet somehow ended up on the left side of the road on the shoulder. There are numerous other mistakes, my question to those who worked to edit the film is why was there seemingly no one employed to deal with continuity. Lack of continuity in a film , in my opinion, really detracts from it's credibility. Could have been much better guys.
