Can’t
anyone make a good film about clowns and old pullets that involve killing,
murder and psychosis? Steve Sessions’
tries to mix clowns and zombies in Dead
Clowns (2003) and it is a disaster.
No suspense, dumb gore and pointlessness all the way, a clown car
disappeared fifty years ago when it fell into the water. Now there are killer zombie clowns on the
loose? Yawn.
The
anamorphically enhanced image is at an unusual 2 X 1 ratio, but is video and
not film. It looks old, has aliasing
errors throughout and is not well shot to boot.
The Dolby Digital 5.1 mix just smudges around the poor location audio,
which is barely stereo and there are no extras.
