This odd little film packs a reasonable punch. It has many affectionate nods to genre favourites from the 70s/80s with some neat twists on stock characters and scenarios (young children are the graphic target of the horror here) and a deliciously dark streak of humour. Once you buy into the somewhat bizarre set-up, the movie is played admirably straight, enabling some sound character work from Andy Powers as the demon-possessed father and Laura Allen as his wife, and Peter Stormare plays the what is effectively the Dr Loomis role with a big side-order of ham. Whilst not earth-shattering, Clown is well-shot, effectively-directed and overall comes across much more strongly than might be expected.
