Please note that I have a very big tolerance for b-slasher movies... But this was terrible. The acting was so bad that it was almost funny (note i said almost). They tried some comedy in it but failed horribly. Had some hot girls in it but thats about it. Please avoid this movie at all costs. S.I.C.K. makes me sick (no pun intended of course....)

Terrible!!!!
Awesome cover art to lure fools like us to rent or buy..but very misleading.

First of all we have a handful of talent here:
1.Jason Bateman
2.Bruce Campbell
3.Amy fischer
4.and Chelsea Clinton

Tell me these unknown actors didn't look like your favorite celebrities?!?

The so called "Clown killings" were very minimum (he killed 2 people what a body count!!!)
The whole "Cabin fever" "Evil Dead" atmosphere didn't seem to work. The actors sounded like they were rehearsing their lines especially the "Bruce Campbell" look-alike dude.
The gore scenes with the raw body parts lying all over the place looked like a someone just went "buckwild" throwing meat all over the place.
Everything was laughable. I found it strange that the killer Clown who by the way is BIG as a house couldn't knock down the front door to get inside?
The whole dolls around the house, ie "the doll in the bed with the pants and shirt, the barbie dolls lying around near the tree was STUPIDDD!!!
It took away from the "Clown theme" and just made the movie seem like it didn't know what direction this was going in.
The ending was PREDICTABLE.
We saw it a mile away.
By the way, what the hell was up with the picture quality???
It looked like a VHS-DVD transfer or something..we actually was if it needed an antennae.
This movie wreaks in all aspects.
RATED BAD...not Michael Jackson BAD

DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT BUY THIS FILM. It's not even a film. It is some bit of trash that was captured, badly, on someone's cam corder purchased hours earlier at the local Best Buy.

I'm not kidding.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE HORROR...I have over 500+ DVD titles and most are scary films. THIS FLICK WAS STUPID AS YOU KNOW WHAT.

There is "ghosting" all over the place...like television was before cable. The picture looks as if it's being being broadcast to an antenna on top of your tv.

My God, and to think that ARTISAN ENTERTAINMENT distributed this.

Yes, the acting is bad. If you like to see unemployed people say things badly, then go for it and buy the movie.

CABIN FEVER wasn't all that fantastic, but it was a heck of a lot better than S.I.C.K.

A fun movie to buy would be WRONG TURN. Now that was a good horror movie.

All I have to say is that I work at a video store and have rented hundreds of movies especially horror movies and came along this movie which looked pretty good from the cover but ended up being total complete garbage and was a rip off for me personally even though I get all rentals free, I was ripped off with my time.

I just finished watching SICK, and although I have never written a movie review online before, I was so compelled by the crappiness of this movie that I had to warn others. It seems the only moral thing to do. If you're thinking about renting this movie, do something more constructive with your four bucks... like buy a pack of cigarettes for a baby. If you still don't get the point, then go ahead and rent it. That will be punishment enough. Truly, awesomely, inconcievably horrible.

The acting sucked. The plot was stupid. Pretty much the whole movie was terrible. Don't waste your time with this film. It is a waste of time!

Ok, I just finished watching this movie and it was terrible. I had to give it 2 stars though because I was cracking up through the whole movie. It was so corny it was nearly like-able.

I wouldn't buy it...the ending is horrid.

PLOT
A group of friends plan a weekend trip to remote cabin in the woods. After they stop for beer and pick up a hitchhiker they drive to the desolate spot and start to party. Gathered around a campfire, the hitchhiker girl tells a story of a deranged cannibal clown killer. From that point on weird things start to happen and she becomes a suspect. When one of them come up missing, and no fingers point to her, they start to worry and wonder who is behind it all. When it becomes apparent that the story was more than a myth, and things are really happening the way the hitchhiker told, the real story comes out in a twist ending that makes everything make sense.


Since I am a fan of (even very low budget) woods/camp slasher movies, I really wanted to check this out. It was a typical woods slasher-- nothing new here. We had sex, drugs, boobs and the over-used campfire scene. We had one pretty okay kill (a decapitation) and a pretty alright story behind the movie. The killer was big and intimidating, but that was about it. The location of the movie was great. One of the very few low-budget woods slashers that actually take place in a real cabin, and not in a tent in the woods. That being said, I really enjoyed the location and scenery. Finally, I must admit that the ending really surprised me, and I thought it made the movie worthwhile for me.

Well, the movie had some really pungent acting. The girls were all pretty cute, but only 2 were unclothed. The gore, being very skimpy to begin with wasn't very well done. The only kill in the movie (well, onscreen kill) other than the death in the opening pre-credit scene was a head decapitation, which looked alright, but still wasn't very well done. The movie lacked kills and action. Most of the movie was the gang just hanging out, talking, arguing, getting high, or looking for their lost friend. The cast also kept mentioning the obvious-- to let us know they were not within range of getting help. "Cell phones don't work", We're 12 miles from civilization...". I mean, c'mon, it's a slasher movie, we should already presume all of this. Lastly, why always a clown mask? Okay, we all get it. Some people are terrified of clowns, but it has already been done and it didn't work then. I just thought it was lame.

I read a review of this movie in Fangoria, and I tell you I really never wanted to ever watch it. After having a few friends watch it and they said it was actually not bad, and on the same level as Camp Blood, Camp Utopia and Memorial Day,I figured I should check it out. All I could really think about was a rip-off of Camp Blood, which it was, and that movie was not very good at all. The opening scene wasn't very good, and the movie was shot on video, which gives that distinct "home video" look. That, itself wasn't too inviting. The lady was killed, and "Food" was wrote across her forehead, and the killer put clown make-up on her. That scene reminded me of the scene in Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, when Leatherface was using that hand-held spelling game and a picture of a clown kept coming up, and he kept typing in "FOOD" and kept getting it wrong. I am quite sure it was ripped straight from that. Anyways, the movie was pretty slow in a lot of places, and the ending, even though I thought it was pretty alright really fell flat. I would recommend this movie to people who are a fan of low-budget movies, camp/woods slashers, and movies like Bloody Murder, Camp Blood, Camp Utopia and such. Otherwise, stay away from this.

I really don't even know what to say about this movie. I apologize for not following my usual format, but this is a warning to everyone who happens to stop by and read this :

PLEASE, AVOID THIS MOVIE AT ALL COSTS!

I cannot stress this enough. Acting was terrible, horrendous, I have found "acting" in adults movies better than this film. The music? Think late night Cinemax. Exactly. Clowns? Where are the evil clowns? Oh my, this would be the ONLY time in my life I can utter the words " I KNOW I could make a better film than this one.

Rating? NOTHING! It gets a big, fat, nothing. A bomb, a turkey, call it what you want. If you have been a bad little boy or girl this year than you may just find this movie in your stocking, although coal has more value than this movie!

OMG! This movie is hilarious...But don't buy it, spend a couple of bucks and rent it if you want a fun evening of hilarity.
When I rented this movie-I expected a low budget movie about a killer clown-I expected "not up to par" acting and so-so special effects...what I didn't bargain for was the laugh factor.

The lead actor who played Brandon,(I didn't bother to learn his real name from the credits.)couldn't act his way out of a paper bag!! Yep this guy has a lot of raw talent,(eyes rolling up with sarcasm) I get more emotion from my oak tree out front.

The other lead male character, I think his name was Mark, he was doing his best "Bruce Campbell" impersonation throughout the whole movie, he had Bruce's facial expressions down pat, had me convinced they were related by the end of the movie.
That is about all he convinced me of. His wife was lost in the woods, all these weird, mutilated "dolls" are all over the place, and he is supposed to be worried about his wife, but still has sex with the "ho" character while doing said search for his missing wife---yeah, I feel sexy when my spouse is missing too---!!!

The "ho" role played by the character of Denise, is the most believeable character out of the bunch so far, and that is not really saying much. But she can act a little, she can always do pornos if the movie thing doesn't work out for her...and with S.I.C.K. under her belt, hey, the sky's the limit, Baby!!

The love object of lead character Brandon, is the lovely Tracey, who also had drama lessons from 'Mono-tone, Bad Acting University'!
She is the one who helps the "Ho" out when she is being threated by a local, then she is the one who thinks Denise is behind everything, then she trusts her, then she thinks she is behind everything, ....etc!

Enter the wife of Mark, can't remember her character's name, she wasn't in it too long(and she tends to "lose her head" when trying to act). She is also a bad actress, but she does a good "getting high" scene with the Bruce Campbell wanna be.

Entrance stage left Bozo on thorazine...OMG...the "killer clown" is a scream. How is a clown scary during the day time? When he has an ax...oh and big clown shoes..those are pretty damn scary if you ask me.

The director of this better be ready for that call from the academy, I bet this gets nominated for an oscar...An Oscar Myer Hotdog Weiner!!! Cause you need lots of mustard to chase this movie's bad taste in your mouth...
But the funny factor it is worth the two stars.
And the ending is pretty damn decent considering the 2 hours of my life that was lost to see the damn thing. Really, you don't see this one coming, it is not obvious.

So, when my dog Sparky gets his camcorder back from the repair shop, we are going to finish our movie too...Sparky is directing, and we think we have a hit.
IT is called "S.I.C.K. To My Stomach II-Revenge of the Intestines in the Clown Shack"! See it, it promises to be better than this crap.

Please don't buy this...I love a good B movie, I just wish I could see one.
