It somehow wasn't funny or scary enough - though I do have to admit it is always more than revolting enough.

There's nothing inherently funny or provocative about a bunch of obnoxious kids being relentlessly horrible to a psychologically troubled peer.

The horror-comedy genre is notoriously hard to pull off, but this Irish effort makes a decent, trashy fist of it.

I really liked the balance of the characters, the storyline, and the comedy and horror.

There's not a seltzer bottle's chance in hell of finding anything worthwhile in Stitches.

A lot of bad acting and cringy, pointless filler.

Killer clowns are a favorite horror movie trope. I have never liked clowns, even before horror movies about them. This clown movie is ominous and different. Except for the excessive gore, I like this horror comedy. If you're into killer clowns, I recommend seeing this movie.

Reminiscent of "Killer Klowns from Outer Space," "Stitches" is the funniest, most-hilarious horror/comedy I've seen since "Psycho Goreman." I absolutely loved Ross Noble as a clown. Ignore all of the bad reviews, watch it, then decide for yourself.

We watched Conor McMahon's Let the Wrong One In last month, which led us to this movie, in which Richard Grindle is Stitches the clown, cursed by an egg to always remain alive until he finishes the party that he was at where a group of unruly kids jerked around and caused his very violent death. Years later, as he's restored to his undead life, Stitches hunts down each of the kids who caused his death one by one and dispatches them in a manner most unbecoming to a happy clown. With shoutouts to A Nightmare On Elm Street — main character Tommy takes the same Hypnocil that the Elm Street kids did to keep their dreams from happening — and no small amount of the grisly red stuff, consider Stitches if you've run out of slashers for your October watching.
