Product Description:
TABITHA. SHELBY. LISA. THEY'RE LONGTIME FRIENDS ON SEPARATE LIFE PATHS. BUT THEY SHARE A HORRIFIC DESTINATION WHEN A SEEMINGLY INNOCENT INCIDENT FROM THEIR SCHOOL DAYS COMES BACK TO TERRIFY THEM.
Amazon.com:
Amusement opens with a too-long scene involving a girl named Shelby’s (Laura Breckenridge) reluctance to join a trucking convoy that her boyfriend behind the wheel is for some reason totally dedicated to. One can guess if they ever return from this fateful road trip. From here, the film splinters into three more parts, focusing on Shelby’s childhood friends, Lisa (Jessica Lucas) and Tabitha (Katheryn Winnick), and finally, a serial killer who aims to ensnare them all because they didn’t laugh at his animal-torturing diorama in grade school. The killer, a brainiac who sports rubber apron, gloves, and goggles for his sick enterprises, operates on the premise that his killings are funny, and cackles ring throughout the film. There is not a tremendous amount of gore in Amusement, as it focuses on what little suspense it manages, as citizens and FBI agents alike fail to catch the crafty villain. Perhaps the most notable aspect to this film is the mysterious criminal ringleader, a clown doll, who appears midway through as Tabitha tries to babysit. Furthering Stephen King’s It tradition, this movie gets slightly better when the girls enter this evil clown’s territory, a bedroom packed with clown toys. However, the clown and his clown posse are a bit non sequitur, and the entire film feels confused and patched together. Return to Child’s Play if you really want to delve into evil toys and the young boys who play with them. --Trinie Dalton

Ever wonder what happened to that mentally disturbed little kid in your class? Well he is probably plotting against you right now. At least that is the story line for Amusement. Three girls all connected by a childhood friendship, and a creepy little boy, are thrown together in this horror movie.
Something happened when they were kids, and now each girl is suffering a fate they determined for themselves a long time ago. If you are really interested in seeing the movie, be assured ... Read More

I LOVE CANADIAN ACTRESSES!! KATHERYN WINNICK IS A GREAT REASON ALONE TO CHECK THIS ONE OUT!! SCARY CLOWN, ALTHOUGH IT WAS PROBABLY THE ONLY REAL SCARY PART, WORTH CHECKING OUT AT LEAST ONCE.

By the trailers I'd seen of Amusement, I'd assumed I'd be getting the usual teen slash-a-thon; long on clichés and short on originality. It looked fun but I wasn't holding out any hope for a fresh take on the slasher sub-genre, not that there's anything wrong with that on occasion but it's nice to something "different" every now and then. Imagine my surprise when Amusement ends up skipping the clichéd characters and the "same old, same old" for something a bit more, well...amusing.

If you're reading this review, it is because (1) You are thinking about watching this movie but are skeptical as to whether or not you should, or (2) You have already seen it and want to see what other people think. If you (1), take this to heart. I just got done watching this movie and it did absolutely nothing for me.
Amusement doesn't draw you in whatsoever. All the principles of a good movie are completely absent. There is no rise of action, no climax, it just simply keeps the same pace the ... Read More

I'm a big horror film fan, and my standards aren't very high-recently I thought "The Last House on the Left" was pretty cool, and I actively enjoyed a throw-away like "The Hitcher" remake. (Dario Argento being my all time favorite.) Anyway, I watched this movie thinking it was going to be "turn it off halfway through" bad. It, very slightly exceeded my expectations, mainly due to the physical attractiveness of the lead actress. Take her out and there is nothing worth watching here. The plots were utterly ... Read More
