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

Horror fan 4 The only reason to watch the movie is to see John Candy. This movie had so much potential to be great but it fell flat. The last 15 minutes is the only thing worth watching. The rest of the movie all I heard was them complaining about how much Candy's character was eating. Definitely in need of a reboot. Tim Treakle Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/08/25 Full Review 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.
