This won’t take long…
Clownface is awful. Just plain awful. Usually when I watch and review a film I sit with a notepad and pen and watch it through. Then, while I’m writing up my notes I’ll have the film playing again in the background. The second time it doesn’t always play through, as I may want to watch a particular scene a few times, and sometimes I’ll jump back and forth.

I haven’t been able to face watching Clownface again.
There’s no real story other than some nut case turns up swinging an axe and abducting women. No attempt at a backstory, no reason how or why he picks his victims, no explanation of how he’s managed to stay free, fed, and sheltered for so long.
The acting is appalling. I can’t think of anyone in this who I can bear watching again. Some were awful all the way through, but others did manage a couple of believable phrases.
And there were technical faults. There were scenes in a coffee shop where the actors behind the counters were perfectly audible, but the ones playing the customers sounded like they had buckets on their heads.
One big faux pas for a film of this genre was the fake blood. There have been plenty of slasher movies over the years which have played up to the “was that real” controversy. There is no way that anyone would think for a second that Clownface had spilt real blood unless everyone had been suffering dreadfully with jaundice… it tended toward an orange colour.
So… poorly acted, no story, badly shot, and rubbish effects… I wouldn’t bother if I were you.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
This is a great app. I wish more people would support it
This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let’s you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It’s really a wonderful app. I’ve subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn’t seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!
Developers note: RunPee doesn’t make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We’ll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.
