Clowns. Why did it have to be clowns. From prolific producer and master of cringe-inducing horror, Eli Roth, comes the nightmarish Clown. In select theaters and available June 17, 2016, from Dimension Films, Anchor Bay Entertainment, the film is the cautionary tale of what happens when you decide dressing up like a clown for your son’s birthday party is a good thing. Spoiler Alert: DON’T DO IT!

SYNOPSIS:
CLOWN is a story of a loving father who dons a clown outfit and makeup to perform at his son’s sixth birthday, only to later discover that the costume – red nose and wig included– will not come off and his own personality changes in a horrific fashion. To break the curse of the evil outfit, the father must make grim choices with his own family facing danger.

 

 

Directed by Jon Watts, written by Christopher Ford and Jon Watts, Clown stars Peter Stormare, Laura Allen, Andy Powers and Elizabeth Whitmere. Check out the abhorrent trailer below.
