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

A watchable, but unengaging film that passes the time without being fully satisfying.

Rated: 2/5

Film Threat

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.

Rated: 9/10

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.

Flickering Myth

GAGS THE CLOWN is no sideshow pushover. It's like MOCKINGBIRD meets SLENDER MAN but way, way better.

Rated: 3/5

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.

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

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

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.

A predictable "horror" trope that finds the time to insult conservatives multiple times through the boring snooze fest. You know leftists made this when they showed a "conservative nutjob" holding guns with no trigger discipline. Dont waste your time
