There’s some uneven acting that might distract a less forgiving viewer, but the clown and his aura of menace are extremely effective. Go to Full Review

A watchable, but unengaging film that passes the time without being fully satisfying. Go to Full Review

Gags The Clown has a few issues, but it works where it counts. It is a scary, intense watch with an engaging premise. And it is all brought to life by an excellent cast. Go to Full Review
Michael Gingold Rue Morgue Magazine 09/14/2019
Like too many found-footage films, Gags devotes too much of its running time to its characters arguing with and throwing insults at each other. Go to Full Review

GAGS THE CLOWN is no sideshow pushover. It's like MOCKINGBIRD meets SLENDER MAN but way, way better. Go to Full Review
Peter Sobczynski eFilmCritic.com 08/30/2019
The found-footage approach utilized here doesn't really bring anything of value to the proceedings. The combination of humor and horror never quite pans out either. Go to Full Review

Jonathan B Oct 22 Not a good movie. Besides all of the shaky camera work, which is part of this type of genre film (fine), it’s really the acting that isn’t strong enough to make this work. It’s fairly boring. Also this is neither here nor there, but the name of the movie isn’t “Gags,” it’s Gags the Clown. Sick and tired of Rotten Tomatoes renaming movies. If it’s distributed on Shudder as Gags the Clown and that’s the name on the poster, by definition that’s the name of the movie. See more Craig W. @CJWolfe27 Sep 16 I’d give it zero if I could See more Ryan F 08/20/2024 Good comedy horror film, the ending was a bit crazy no spoilers but it was banging See more Niko craft foundation 08/14/2023 I haven't seen it yet but I'm looking forward to watch it See more 04/12/2022 This isn't the greatest movie you'll ever see or the worst. People keep seeing a clown appearing out of nowhere and people don't know if they should take him serious or not. But balloons are being kept in certain places and when they pop on a person that person does begin to change a lot. If you like clowns or they freak you out this would definitely be a good movie for you See more Andy J 08/31/2021 Like a lot of movies showed promise a third of the way in, and then just died. Too focused on the news reporters, etc rather than the clown. Ultimately disappointing. See more Read all reviews
