I try to cut some slack to first-time directors, especially when it comes to horror flicks. But Secrets of the Clown was just a big disappointment.
The lighting for the film was terrible, and it's noticeable even from the opening scenes. There are a few interesting cinematography tricks in the film, but it still looks as though it was shot with a camcorder. It was also annoying that virtually all of the film's dialogue was either mixed down poorly, or was a voiceover recorded in post-production.
The story itself wasn't interesting, it dragged on forever, and the "twist" couldn't redeem it. There's a good bit of gore/blood, though it was pointless when so many of the kill scenes take place off-camera (seemed more because of the budget, than for effect).
The acting was pretty bad, considering the overwhelming majority of the cast had no feature film or TV experience. There are two extremely hot women that offer up some eye candy, in what are probably the only scenes in the film that actually keep your attention.
I really wanted to give this movie a shot, but it dragged on, and it just wasn't as interesting as most recent horror flicks. Give this one a rent before you consider buying the DVD.

This movie failed to understand how to make a succesful B-horror movie. First mistake this movie had was that it tried to make a serious horror movie. When you don't have a budget to pay for great actors or effects, don't try to make a super serious film. There is going to be flaws and terrible acting in your film so accept it and add comedy into your horror movie to lighten up the mood. Making it super serious will only make you judge the film as a serious horror movie and your not going to draw the audience in. There were really no likable characters in this movie and the plot is really thin. The gore, which usually is in abundance in these type of films was lacking. It is also a confusing mess what is going on. Is there a ghost killer, serial killer, killer clown, going on, No it happens to be witch craft.Wait a minute now it's something else. Zombies now are the killer. To confusing for a B-movie. Don't waste your time on this dud. Find yourself a better movie to entertain you tonight. You'll thank me for saving you time watching this sad attempt of a horror film.

Ed Wood would love this film! It's one of those weird films that was filmed wrong, acted wrong, has a woman with a Medusa hairstyle, cheesy blood...and just plain dumb dialogue.
It does have a few good points...from a b-movie perspective. It teeters on the it's-so-bad-it's-good line. There are insider jokes throughout the film. "You killed Ken" "Those bast*@%$" It was at this point I realized the makers of this film had no real serious intentions on telling a good story or presenting it well. They wanted a rotten movie and laughed the whole time making it.

Secrets of the Clown Review
This is an example of a well done indi film. Twists and turns a mile a minute, good acting, and a script screaming Army of Darkness style humor. Read more

Entertainment at its finest
How do I begin... although the writing is pretty awful, and even at the end of the movie you still don't understand what the "secrets of the clown" are, I have to say the movie,... Read more

I would recommend this movie to anyone. Although the acting gets a little shakey at times, the plot and overall direction of the film is very good. Read more
