Torment (2008)
Clown Horror
The "clown" sub-genre of horror is mostly left untapped. I think the hardest part about doing a clown horror film is coming up with an explanation of why a clown; in full costume/makeup should be in a story stalking and killing characters. If you take a look at a film like "It" the clown is representation of all the child's fears combined into a single image. The reason behind the characters initial fear of clowns is never given but it works because a clown's true face is hidden so what is lurking behind the makeup is limitless. Then you take a film like Clownhouse. The clowns are in fact escaped mental patients who steal the guise of the clowns they murdered. The main character is terrified of clowns so his fear of them which is imparted to the audience works. Enter "Torment" a low budget flick which gives neither a back-story of our killer clown or using the clown image as a representation of any of our characters fears. No explanation of "why" the clown is ever given. His/hers methods of killing are given and that's why this movie works. The clown is killing people because the clown is killing people. The characters are lovable but lack some acting ability. The score is great. The camera quite good for a film of this caliber. It's a fun watch. Check it out, I put this in my top 10 of micro-budget horror
