After the first viewing you will say wow! that film was interesting but could have been so much more. This really doesn't matter. After the second viewing you will understand what the filmmakers were going for and how they succeded on every level. It could be remade, but it would probably lose much of its low budget charm and freshness. The cast is only marginally good but it's not a variable. The film plays like a nightmare and is a perfect addition to MGM's Midnite Movie collection because it is best viewed in the later kult hours. You might just walk away unsure about clowns and their motives. What a fresh concept. Thank you Chiodo Brothers!
