Frills and Fright

Images and gifs have been circulating all over the internet of this creepy killer clown, so I figured I’d give it a shot! This film is a low-budget slasher film.  The main character of the film is reminiscent of Neve Campbell’s Sidney character in Scream, both in terms of similar physical appearance and character. The characters were all disposable, and the main focus is on Art the killer clown. While lacking plot and intense gore is not my taste, the best part about the film is Art’s random and creepy antics. Art is a mixture between a clown and a mime. His facial expressions can be quite funny, to just down right terrifying. If you’re too scared or don’t want to sit through the whole film, I definitely recommend you watch this scene in the pizza diner that is very memorable: https://youtu.be/H4doM2WQTXg Scoreboard: Gore: 5/5 Suspense: 1/5 Writing: 1/5 Creature Design: 4/5 Overall: 2/10

This movie was not so much a horror movie as it was a thriller drama. A teenage girl goes missing, and her dad must uncover what happened to her through searching her laptop. This film is unique in that it is framed from the perspective of a computer monitor. The audience watches as the characters are texting, emailing, FaceTiming, and browsing the Internet. It was a fascinating experience, and the director utilized this platform to its full extent to unfold the mystery. I especially like how the beginning of the film showed how far computer and cell phone technology has grown since the early 2000’s, and how it has become ingrained in our everyday life. With family pictures, videos, instant messenger, popular game sites, YouTube, etc. A part of ourselves and our fondest memories are located on our computer or cell phone.  Whether it’s writings, photos, or important documents. It was nostalgic, and was very important to building the background of the characters.  This film
