Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy Except for some flashes in the last 30 minutes where the inherent creepiness of clowns and whispery voices buys the film some atmosphere, it's got boredom to spare. Rated: 3/10 May 25, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member It's a good thing the Clown Murders (which should have been called 'The Clown Kidnapping') isn't more known than it is . . . absolutely terrible flick, if you are looking for a 'clown slasher', please, do yourself a favor and watch something else. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Caught this on the great channel 50 many years ago and it sucks. I was somewhat afraid of clowns and this failed to even raise a chill. But hey there's John Candy. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This Canadian film is not all fun and games when a group of friends dress up as clowns on Halloween and kidnap an associate's wife as a joke before circumstances turn deadly serious. Pre-SCTV John Candy in a non-comedic role. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Crap crap crap don't even bother with it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Don't read the synopsis of this movie and look at the cover because it's definitely misleading..although it's more like a flat-out lie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm giving this one a passing grade, due to the fact that it was practically cut in half by the MPAA. HALF THE #%! movie was missing!!! It had a good premise and the acting for that time period was decent. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
