The film tells the story of a group of friends who are stranded in a deserted small town. Their mission turns to the search for life again in order to confront a deadly gang of psychiatric patients dressed as clowns.
"ClownTown" isn't fresh or ghoulishly inviting, easily making it the second best option for those in need of a homicidal clown extravaganza this spooky season.
ClownTown is a fun, nasty, low-budget little horror romp that delivers exactly on its promise -- terrifying murder clowns running amok in small town America.
It's best to consider ClownTown more of a horror/thriller parody. Its generic by the numbers approach to terrors in the wood would be slightly more tolerable.
It's all as generic and pointless as it sounds, with tyro filmmaker Nagel unable to muster up the sort of visceral thrills that a John Carpenter or Wes Craven would have been able to deliver in their sleep.
