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 whole movie. I can respect the attempted story line, as it does make an attempt at a thick plot, but it completely fails. The scenes don't seem to connect and it turns out to be really sloppy. This is honestly all i got from tihs movie: A weirdo from back in grade school seeks revenge (for whatever reason, motives are never revealed) This guy just dresses up as different people and puts on acts then, as you probably guessed, he reveals himself and laughs an obnoxious laugh. Seriously, he laughs this entire movie. This movie should be called "Annoying Laughter".
The best part of this movie is towards the end... While he is in the act, the main girl (I think) starts laughing, he is immediately touched by this laughter and frees her from her restraints and for a moment there is a romantic and touching connection between the two. Haha that was amusing. This is not a Clown killer movie by any means. Don't let the cover fool you. Well, you have been warned, if you ignore this review and proceed to rent or buy this movie, this review will soon become a painful reality for you. Don't say i didn't tell you so.

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 predictable and often cartoonish, the sets looked like they were air-lifted out of Disneyland and there are very few, if any, suspenseful moments. The lead character's life will be in danger... and you won't care. That being said, if you have the flu or something, and are stuck on the couch, it might hold your interest for a couple of hours.

While this movie does in fact have one of the creepiest clown scenes in recent memory, it is NOT about a killer clown.
It's about 3 childhood friends all being stalked by the same childhood psychopath.
A boy they rightfully mocked during a diorama contest,
because his diorama was seriously seriously sadistic!!
And so was his laugh.
This kid was "The Joker" in the making.
Don't want to ruin it for you like the description on the page, but his diorama will certainly offend some.
Years later they are all captured in 3 very different ways.
SOO different they feel like 3 different movies all together.
Like watching an anthology flick with Joyride, Dolls, & Hostel all in same movie.
The story jumps around a bit because of this,
which can get a bit confusing at times, but never enough that it gets annoying,
In the end all 3 tales are tied together.
There are some plot holes,
but the suspense & scares this movie manages to conjure more than make up for it.
I jumped when it wanted me to jump,
I cringed when it wanted me to cringe,
and I shivered when it wanted me to shiver.
I found that as far as horror goes,
this was a solid purchase,
it had every kind of scare on one disc.
Despite it's lack of gore it was downright incredible!!
but what little it did have... was still amazing!!
Like an old diamond this movie is flawed, but solid.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
When dealing with psychos... smile & nod.
ALSO RECOMMENDED:
Cat's Eye, Creepshow 1 & 2, 3 Extremes, Tales from the Hood, Joyride, Hostel, Dolls, Tales from the Darkside the movie, Trilogy of Terror, Asylum, Campfire Tales

This film was such a breathe of fresh air after seeing some of the junk that's been distributed in the last ten years. It's scary, original and yes, cheesy and fun. I really enjoyed this film, and the plot wasn't too bad either. The 'big chasing' wasn't as scary as I'd hoped but the clostrophobic and unsettling situations he puts his victims in was very nerve wrecking. I especially love the scene involving the room with clowns. When she tells the children's mother that the life size clown on the rocking chair freaks her out, the mother says, we don't have a lifesize clown...scary!
Seriously, it sounds cheesy, but this movie was really good. I give it an 89 percent...good stuff. Very good stuff.

Ok, the movie is not bad per se. It does achieve some of its goals: it creates some creepy situations in which the characters are subjected to this vicious mind-twister crazy-laughing killer; it does feature a few tense moments and doesn't really go for the boo scares. It has some things on its favor, including the cast.
But, plot wise, the movie fails miserably. If you start asking questions (any questions) you'll be disappointed. The story is just way too far-fetched and there are plotholes galore. You're just supposed to accept everything that's being shown. Sometimes that's fine, after a while it gets irritating. If you're willing to put your suspension of disbelief to test, give it a shot, at your own risk.
