This is one of the best indie horror low budget movies ive ever seen.It makes all other killer clown movies look so weak in comparison.This movie had plenty of blood and gore and enough going on to keep my attention all the way throw.Not to mention a masive body count.This is one movie thats going in my dvd collection a must have for any fan or gore and killer clowns.5 stars

Awesome. Brilliant. Insane. Those are three words that describe the slasher flick 100 Tears. It is possibly the goriest slasher movie ever made. I didn't keep count or anything, but I imagine the body count was about thirty, and nearly all of the deaths occur onscreen. There's many decapitations and amputations, as well as a pretty good script and above average performances from the cast. 100 Tears along with Hatchet, Killer Movie, Midnight Movie, Gutterballs, and the Friday the 13th and My Bloody Valentine reboots are proving that the slasher film isn't just still alive, it's bigger and better than ever.

Marcus Koch directed and did the special fx for this Joe Davison written clown slasher film starring Raine Brown and others. When you watch this film, you'll understand why say "Raine Brown and others" -- Raine's performance of Christine Gleason is so incredibly over-the-top that it pretty well overshadows all but Jack Amos as Gurdy the Clown.

This film features 9 kills in the first 12 minutes of the movie as Gurdy the Clown wreaks havoc and commits mass murder in a random half-way house. And from that point on there are more than enough bloody, gory, violent kills to keep even the most demanding of slasher horror fans from becoming bored.

Joe Davison wrote a fantastic story with a really cool twist, that I will not get into here because the film releases on DVD on the 8th of December here in the United States so I really do not want to ruin this film for you.

Marcus, as the director and creator of special f/x, is genius. The technical aspects of this film, from lighting to camera-work, to the directing of characters and development, to every single kill stand heads and tails above most slasher films to include those put out by mainstream big budget studios.

Buy this film. You'll not be disappointed in Raine or Jack's performance. Another fantastic performance is found in Jeff Dylan Graham's short appearance as one of Gurd'Y's victim. If ultra-violent, gore and blood, and incredibly terrifying clowns are your thing - then you'll absolutely be into 100 TEARS.

Attention all splatter enthusiasts, your day of deliverance is at hand! Gurdy the clown (Jack Amos) has arrived in order to cause enough bloody mayhem to drown you! 100 TEARS is the tale of said clown, and his terrible, blood-drenched trail of vengeance! The opening scene alone is worth its weight in entrails! TEARS also stars Raine Brown (HORROR, AUNT ROSE), who has finally redeemed herself after her horrid appearance in the inept floater, WOODS OF EVIL. Here, she shines w/ maniacal glee! I give this one 5 stars for three major reasons. 1- It's obviously limited budget. 2- Gurdy is awesome! 3- Ms. Brown's insane performance. So, if your tastes run toward the gory / funny, and eeevil, murderous clowns are your delight, then 100 TEARS is a surefire hit!...

I love this kind of horror movies. I mean indie horror films. This one in particularly is very gory. The acting is not bad. If you like this kind of movies with clowns, dead and weird people, you will love this one. Anything with crazy serial killers is good for a horror movie.

Oh man, were to start. Haha. Well, what you have here is a murdering clown killing off everyone with a HUGE meat clever!!! The front cover doesn't lie! Oh, wait, there also happens to be a small "surprise twist" in the film,too. That's pretty much the story. Haha. Somebody please help me find more of this awesome trash because I got such a kick out of this!!! Yes, within the first five minutes into this flick you will experience crazy, off-the-wall, gore galore almost completely throughout this cheesy masterpiece! Actually, to tell you the truth, I was exhausted from it all and was able to rest my eyes during the few scenes that didn't contain gore. Fast pace, too! The 90 something minutes went by quick! Haha. The acting is ok. Not annoying at all. Again, this flick is made for sake of throwing as much blood in your face as possible. Being that it is a low-budget flick, the gore is of course, 'Terror Firmer' style. Not like what you'd see in 'SAW' films or any other big-budget gore flick. That being said, the FX is still impressive and fun to watch. So let that be a warning for those who aren't into this kind of thing. '1OO TEARS' goes best with other gems such as: 'BUZZSAW', 'Cannibal Campout', 'Terror Firmer' etc. I will definitely have this on the playlist for next Halloween!

100 TEARS is basically about two tabloid reporters who are searching for a murderous clown. And by murderous clown, I mean he carries around a butcher knife the size of a small child and definitely puts it to good use. He dismembers and decapitates his victims in over the top fashion. The clown also never speaks which is great and spares the viewer the supid one-liners... he lets his butcher knife do the talking. There's also a twist that may or may not be revealed in the trailers for this movie, so I'll just go ahead and say it: the clown (who goes by the name Gurdy the Clown) has an estranged daughter who also happens to be a serial killer. They eventually unite and team up, going on a killing spree before coming face to face with the tabloid reporters.

Basically the movie revolves around the two tabloid reporters Mark and Jen, who also happen to be roommates and BFF (that's best friends forever for all you internet lingo illiterate folk), and their goofy chemistry, and Gurdy the Killer is sort of a background character (you do learn his back story, but for the most part all you know is that he just likes to kill people). But the bottom line is that 100 TEARS is a total gorefest and nothing more. There's nothing deep about the story, the script and acting are God awful (especially Raine Brown who plays Gurdy's daughter), and the outcome of the overall story is pretty anticlimactic. So if gore is what you're looking for then you're going to be in for a treat. There's nothing in the film that's difficult to watch because the gore is so over the top (it's comparable to watching a GWAR video), but you'll be in awe at how much blood is used in the film. People get their arms, legs, feet, and heads cut off... their intestines ripped out of their bodies... you name it. My favorite death scene involves a girl in a wheelchair getting decapitated and then getting pushed down a flight of stairs. Quality-wise, the film is very low quality because it's a super low budget movie, but some parts of the film still look pretty cool. A lot of scenes are very grainy and it creates an overall dirty feel to the movie, specifically Gurdy's scenes.

Overall, 100 TEARS has a lot of cool gore scenes, but other than that I didn't really enjoy anything about it. There was a couple of funny moments, but for the most part it just wasn't a very good movie. The acting was horrible and it wasn't even one of those "so bad it's good" things either... it was just annoying. Also the script leaves much to be desired. There's absolutely NOTHING realistic in this movie. The most disappointing thing about this movie is the fact that Gurdy the Clown is not scary. If the filmmakers were trying to take the whole "fear of clowns" thing and re-instill it into the minds of whoever's watching this movie, then they failed. Gurdy is more like a serial killer who happens to dress like a clown, as opposed to someone who totally embodies a character that will give you nightmares. The end result of the movie is that it's almost like a cross between MURDER-SET-PIECES and HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES, except not nearly as good as either one. 100 TEARS is not a good movie but I've seen a lot worse and I would only recommend this movie to people looking to see a lot of gore.

3 stars

I cannot stress enough just how bad you need to see this movie!! Great story, awesome effects, gory as hell, Really great cast and a midget chase scene. Need I say more?

All clowns are evil. But most are subtle, creepy and menacing, so you can't quite say why they're evil.

Not Gurdy in 100 TEARS. He swings a huge meat cleaver -- a HUGE meat cleaver! -- and racks up a body count faster than you can count his victims.

Two tabloid reporters hunt Gurdy, seeking a story about serial killers. Naturally, these reporters learn more than they'd like to know.

100 TEARS is a throwback to that 1970s, drive-in/grindhouse style of horror. Raw, visceral, graphic gore. The film was shot in Florida (home of supermarket tabloids), which adds to that atmosphere.

In the 2008 Tabloid Witch Awards (a horror film contest and festival, based in Santa Monica, California), 100 TEARS won an Honorable Mention, plus Best Actress for Georgia Chris, and Best Supporting Actress for Raine Brown.

"100 Tears" breathes a lot of life into independent, low-budget horror films. Without having the sort of dollars to spend such as a film like "Inception" or movies of that sort, and for not having any super-famous actors, "100 Tears" delivers the goods and then some! For those of you who like twisted, evil clowns and giant tools used to slice and dice people up, along with a good laugh here and there and a good storyline, "100 Tears" will be a real treat, as it was for me! Thanks for the time, and peace.
