Video for this Script on YouTube: Disembodied Screams
Gore and Effects: Top Notch. The kills were nothing original, nothing most of these Slasher movies haven’t done before but they looked realistic. Plenty of blood was shed. That chainsaw kill when that clown lifted that girl in the air, brutal, right after a texas chainsaw style chase through the corn with chainsaw blaring. Good one. The work out kill, with the blade on the bar, gruesome, and there was a nasty head smash too. No let down in the gore department. If you like blood you get it.
Story, Script, Directing: I can’t complain about any of those. It kept my attention both times I watched it. Eli Craig who did Tucker and Dale vs Evil did a solid job behind the lens and he managed to balance comedy and terror without overdoing the comedy.
Acting: No one took me out of the movie with lousy acting. Katie Douglas who played Quinn was a good solid final girl. Not one of iconic stature, but she had lots of spunk and tenacity and she held her own throughout the movie.
Kevin Durand, I like what he did with his character, Arthur Hill. He added some nice flare to that role and his joker makeup at the end was a nice touch. No complaints in the acting department even the clown fodder teens did a good job in their roles.
Score: Nothing that stands out to me but it fit the movie and set the tone it needed to set when it was used. I can’t say that I was wowed by it or noticed it all that much. But everyone did a great job.
Killer: Frendo looks amazing. I like the look of this clown. You got the costume, the creepy mask, the big shoes that squeak. Nice touch. Frendo looks like a traditional fun clown with some menace added to him or her and when he or she is holding a weapon he or she really looks threatening. I wouldn’t mind more movies with Frendo. All in all, glad I watched it, twice, now, here’s the haiku.
Sharpen your weapons
Bad crop of teens needs to die
Frendo’s time to slay
One more thing: I liked the relationship between dad and daughter. Felt realistic to me. Helped me to root for them and hope they make it out alive. Have you seen Clown in a Cornfield? What are your thoughts about it? Worth the hype or not. Let me know. Take care and have a good one.
