Verdict on Apocalypse Clown
Apocalypse Clown is a horror comedy following a group of clowns that travel around Ireland after an apocalyptic event. It sees them dealing with different problems and threats as they look for safety. All while trying to keep people entertained with their clown skills.
This is a funny horror comedy that uses the apocalyptic environment to create an overwhelming series of wacky adventures. It gives the movie a Mad Max feeling, even if the end of the world is only the day before. The comedy flies from the clown’s behaviour with Natalie Palamides stealing every single scene and Funzo. If you want to watch a wacky horror comedy, this is an excellent choice.
Where to Watch: Apocalypse Clown will be in UK Cinemas from 1st September
Final Thoughts –Apocalypse Clown is a wacky hilarious comedy.
