Order a pizza, invite your most sarcastic wise cracking friends over and laugh your arses off. This movie was very very bad: wooden acting, plot holes a mile wide and a ridiculous deranged "monster" who is neither scary nor believable. There's juvenile gratuitous nudity and lots of blood. Awful but still recommended for a good chuckle.

I've read the online reviews--going into this thinking its the second coming of IT you are gonna be disappointed. If you like B-movie stuff though I think you'll have a good time.

Shivers is gonna be a new horror icon someday like Freddy and Jason. He is SCARY.

Other acting is a little uneven--the lead actress is good, while the Bruce Campbell look alike detective tries too hard to be over the top. By the end of the movie he is a little more tolerant though.

If you like B-movie horror and clowns scare you then check it out!

Ok, this movie....horribly boring! Death scenes are not exciting or gory! The make-up on the face of the "clown" was the only cool thing. What was he trying to be, a clown who escaped from a male strip club? For god's sakes, why shirtless? AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!

This was one of the worst movies I'v ever bought through amazon. Low budgeted and BOOOORING.

THE GIRL IN THE MOVIE WAS CUTE.. THE ACTING SUCKED AND THE STORY LINE WAS TERRIBLE.. AND THERES A 2ND MOVIE.. I THINK I WILL SAVE MY MONEY

I'm not a big fan of clown movies, but my friend rented this film for a "scary movie night" (lame, yes). Five minutes into the movie, my friends and I started laughing hysterically at the incredibly bad acting in this film. This is by far (and without exaggeration) the worst movie I have ever seen. I couldn't even watch the entire thing because it was incredibly stupid. Terrible, terrible acting and a horrible plot.

Do not purchase this movie unless you're looking for a good laugh. Actually, just don't purchase the movie at all.

This movie was just dreadful. From it's turtle pace and horrible acting, to the ill-concieved notion that a half naked, muscular man in clown makeup is frightening. Nothing worked in this film. There are so many fantastic indie horror films out there, please save your dollars and pick something else as "Fear of Clowns" is just a bottom of the barrel horror film.

Kevin Kangas's 'FEAR OF CLOWNS' is not only one of the very best ultra low-budget slasher films ever made it's also right up there with Victor Salva's 'CLOWNHOUSE' as one of the best of the psycho-clown horror flicks. Much respect to actor Mark Lassise who shoulders this film as Shiver's The Clown,one of the most visually frightning additions to the list of great horror villains. Although the film has its flaws it always seems to redeem itself with a brilliant horror sequence that makes you forget about any minor budget issues(like bad acting!). 'FEAR OF CLOWNS' is an excellent new horror film & Kevin Kangas is a Director that horror fans should watch out for! UPDATE: the numbskull bad reviewer's on this page are NOT fans of ultra low-budget horror so there opinions are useless BUT if your are a fan then after you view this film you will see what all the hype is about!

I was looking forward to this movie since 2003, I finally got to see it in May of 2005. Let me say I was NOT disappointed! This movie is freakin' AWESOME. The acting is uneven at times (some of the actors are REALLY good, some of them seem to have flunked out of elementary school drama class), but the story is original, and solid, not to mention the effects are great considering the budget. You MUST purchase this film, if you don't Shivers the Clown, may target you next!

It deserves ZERO stars! This thing was hyped to death and like most horror fans I anticipated the release of Fear of Clowns. Okay, I know B-movies can be fun, like Killer Klowns from Outer Space. But that movie was supposed to be silly. This film was trying to be scary!! What??!! I'm all for laughs with a good cheesy horror flick on a weekend but you have to draw the line somewhere. This was a waste of my time as well as the director and the dreadful actors. I hope I never see those people again in anything! I thought Shivers had potential but the whole concept was totally wasted. The storyline didn't make a lick of sense and nothing was believable or frightening at all. And how about that technicolor blood? I thought we've outgrown that since the 60's and 70's! There is nothing fun or scary about this piece of crap whatsoever, and it totally mocks what indie horror should be. Either you're a spoof or you're not. Make up your mind before you make it people! This is a huge let down! I dozed several times during it and prayed for it all to be over. Please ignore this when you stop by the video store. The case and all of it's 4 star ratings are deceiving. Fear of Clowns is nothing to be afraid of.
