Review
This movie has a clown wielding a three-pronged blade that does some serious damage, as well as some hot clown-on-clown killing action (quick, somebody call "Clowns Gone Wild") as though the filmmakers learned how to work within their low budget to make their gore scenes creepy and effective. There's also a bit of added human drama, with the head detective getting some troubling news at the beginning of the movie that affects his decision making throughout the rest of the film. A sub plot involving a sleazy orderly at the hospital who helped Shivers and his clown gang escape also adds an interesting twist. With more killer clown action, more gore, a great conclusion, and a stalk-and-slash sequence in Lynn's house that gave me chills, there's a lot to love about this movie. --Cinema-Crazed
Review
The acting is only equaled by the pacing in Clowns 2 because, man, this flick moves. The original Clowns clocked in at 106 minutes (the limited edition at 114), and felt a little bloated. Clowns 2 runs at a leaner 102 minutes, and it has none of the fatness of its predecessor. The film is a freight train, in no uncertain terms greatly aided by the fantastic and I really do mean fantastic score by Chad Seiter. Kangas' movies have always had great scores, and Seiter also did the music for Clowns, but here he outdoes himself. The last 20 minutes are packed with tension, atmosphere and action, and Seiter's score grabs you, straps you down and forces you in for the duration. Not that I saw anyone complaining. The buildup to those last 20 minutes is a great ride, too. The film has at least four decapitations and one body cut clean in half. Not to mention an axe to the eye, the face and the shoulder. Clowns 2 serves up a platter of gore, grue, mayhem and madness, and when you think you've had your fill, another plate is thrust in front of you. Good times, indeed. Sadly, though, there is one problem I have with the film: The ending. It's a cheat. It's a bummer that I can't tell you why it's a cheat, because it would be a major spoiler, but it's a cheat nonetheless. And it hurts the film, some. You have this fantastic buildup, only to have an unsatisfying ending somewhat like Haute Tension (and, no, it doesn't end like that). The ending is certainly not as bad as the mess that is Tension, but I did feel almost as unsatisfied. However, after speaking with Kangas recently, he has informed me he has changed the ending. If it comes off as he explained, well, now we're talking. Hell, I can't wait to see it again. With Fear of Clowns 2, Kevin Kangas has pulled off something that is pretty damn hard to do he made a sequel that is better than the original. Dang right. I liked Fear of Clowns, but Fear of Clowns 2 smokes it. It's got more action, more tension, stronger acting and a killer score. And if one were to judge by the applause and hoots and hollers from the audience, he's got himself a winner. --Horrortalk
