Night of the Clown

About This Movie

Night of the Clown is this curious 1998 horror flick that really dives into the dark side of greed and family betrayal. The premise, with Todd, the millionaire businessman, being hunted down by his envious brothers, sets a pretty grim tone. The pacing can be a bit clunky, but it does build up that eerie atmosphere which keeps you guessing. The performances, while not Oscar-worthy, do capture the desperation and tension well. The practical effects are notably gritty, adding a raw edge to the killings. It’s not your typical slasher; it’s more about the psychological dread wrapped in a twisted family drama, making it stand out in the sea of late '90s horror.

Atmospheric tension throughout · Practical effects give it a raw edge · Interesting take on familial envy
