Taylor N @CandleCoven Aug 21, 2025 The gross behind the scenes aspect aside I've actually always found this movie to be quite good. Admittedly there are quite a few scenes where the boys are scantily clothed and that was a few too many.. you can just tell there's something not quite right.. That aside the buildup of suspense is massive. It is filled with about a hundred truly eerie moments from a bygone era. As disgusting as the director may be, he does know horror well(probably because he is a monster himself) The direction and editing are truly spooky, the actors are quite good and really went for it. The clowns themselves could have been a bit scarier but it was the boys reactions, the spooky camera work and the buildup that really stole the show for me. It kept me nervous and on the edge of my seat, and what more could you ask for in a horror film? See more Jason C. @jcarnes718 Aug 1, 2025 I happen to love these campy old horror movies. It's a classic in my book. It really reminds me of being a kid who loved being scared in the 80's.

It is able to make you feel eery and on edge sometimes, but overall it’s nothing special. The makeup is average and there’s almost no blood or gore, so it’s not shocking. That area doesn’t stand out. Basically, the movie can be good at times because of its tension, but that’s it, nothing more. A shame considering it had potential with its good main characters and they’re dynamics. See more matthias s @Thescreenasvor Nov 15, 2023 "Clownhouse" is a film that left me in a carnival of mixed emotions. On one hand, it boasts an excellent soundtrack that keeps you on the edge of your seat, a promising premise involving three kids attending a circus, and surprisingly decent performances from the child actors. But alas, the clownish charm quickly wears thin. The kids, while talented, become increasingly annoying, and the dialogue seems like a jumbled mess. A dark cloud hangs over this production as it's well-documented that the director had a troubling history. This revelation taints the entire viewing experience. The scares are sporadic and rather predictable, with only a few genuine jumpscares. To make matters worse, the plot only kicks in after a grueling 57 minutes, leaving the audience yawning and wondering when the real action will begin. In the end, "Clownhouse" is a circus that starts with promise but quickly descends into a disorganized sideshow, ultimately leaving you with a sense of unease for all the wrong reasons.
