Clown

Végre egy bohóc, aki úgy bánik a kölykökkel, ahogy megérdemlik. És aki, legalábbis az átalakulás utolsó szakaszában, tényleg undorítóan és ijesztően néz ki. Csak kár a teljesen félresikerült egyensúlyozásért a komoly horrordráma és az akaratlanul nevetséges B-kategóriás baromság között. Nem is annyira arról van szó, hogy nem sikerült, hanem inkább arról, hogy ez nem tudatos. Ami még rosszabb. (2021.02.12)

Clown isn't groundbreaking, even though it tries to present a fairly interesting mythology, but that doesn't mean it isn't a great horror film. That's what I would see as the main aspect of this film. It's a horror that can touch on your hidden fears, and it's a dark horror, brilliantly escalating even in how the clown transforms. Yes, technically it's also very well done; you just won't get much of Eli Roth in it. (2016.02.15)

A few tweaks in the script and it could be perfect. It needs to get rid of some of the filler, expand and develop more deeply the final moral dilemma and a more uniform atmosphere. What bothers me the most about Clown is how many times the mood changes from one scene to the other: from laughter to depression, from oppressive tension to horror fun. But even then it’s fine. There hasn’t been such an effective monster for quite some time and his final form is especially cool. I can’t remember a better horror film with a clown as a character. It had more potential, but I’m satisfied. (2015.03.01)
