Review of Clown

Clown (2008)
9/10
I watched it for the wrong reason, too, but loved it!

I watched it, too, like the other reviewers because I saw it on a web site with a couple of names in it. But they paled in comparison to the actor character who stole the show and is the reason for its 'awesom-ness'. The first half, and most interesting and realistic part of the short is about the boy getting tormented by the most scariest clown I have ever seen in my life, being scary in the sense that he could actually exist. Shamus the Clown was the name of the clown, and Paul Sampson was the actors name in the end credits with playing him. I don't know where he came from or what demonic entity spawned him, but he is by far the leader of the pack. He and Stephen King's "TT" Pennywise Clown together would be by far the scariest combination in the world of all time! They would kick the crap out of any modern day scary duo in a cage match. They'd be the tag team champs. Pennywise may still be my number one, but Shamus is a very close second and to me is more real, making him possibly number one. I would have gave the short a 10 but I felt the first half of the short was a 12 (seriously) and the second half without Shamus was a 7 at most, that's my reason for a 9 rating. It should have ended when Shamus leaves the tent and the kid still tied in the chair. That would have been a better film.
