Clown in a Cornfield (3½ Stars)


This is the 12th film in the Stuttgart Nights Festival.

After the death of his wife, Glenn Maybrook moves from Philadelphia to Kettle Springs, Missouri. His daughter Quinn doesn't appreciate the move. For her it's the end of the world. Her opinion is shared by the local teenagers, but at least they have a hobby. They make amateur horror videos which they publish on YouTube.

What they're not prepared for is that there's a killer clown in the town. Not just in the cornfield. And not just one clown. There's a whole clan of clowns killing the young people.

This is a reasonable slasher film, but for me it breaks too many slasher traditions. I'm sure this was deliberate, but for me the film wasn't predictable enough.
