Critics Consensus

Clown tries to bag a stylish, gory thrill, but good practical effects can't save this circus of mediocrity.

You know....if this movie were a kind of origin story for Pennywise the Dancing Clown...I might care about it a little more. Who knows? Maybe they could claim it as canon.

Amor, confianza, compromisos, persona que paulatinamente va sufriendo cambios hasta transformarse en un monstruo, búsqueda por revertir la situación, sublime bestia final. De manera somera, estas características se le pueden atribuir a The Fly de 1986, así como a Clown. Por qué señalo estas similitudes? Es acaso Clown una gema en el pajar? Pues no, solo noté esa proximidad hahaha Esta va de un demonio -barra- payaso que se apoderará del cuerpo de quién ose usar su disfraz. No esperen más.

A perfect old time horror movie. Original concept and the clown and the murders get worse and worse as the movie progresses. I loved it.

The plot was surprisingly good, however, the effects were awful, and I got really can't be towards the end.

The worst horror movie I've ever watched. Too many unnecessary plot and too much frigid lead to different scene.. If this is horror movie for kids, but too many gore scenes...

I would ask any up-and-coming special-effects artist: Just because you can mold a convincing replica of a 6-year-old's severed arm, does it necessarily mean that you should?

It comes apart about halfway through, losing a very difficult tonal balance. Having said that, there's more to like here than the studio burial would have you believe.

Rated: 2/4

"Clown" has the goods. Refreshingly dark and sick, this is a movie for those who like cinematic monsters that hit so hard they leave a mark.

Despite dealing with a demon, the film is very grounded. [Full review in Spanish]

Deep Focus Review

While competently made and demonstrating Watts' assured talent, the story and characters fail to engage in any way outside of disturbing us.

Rated: 2/4
