Verdict on Super Happy Fun Clown
Recap
The movie follows a woman who grew up aspiring to be a clown. However, life got in the way and people torn down her dreams. She never gave up on chasing them, but things took a much darker twist in her quest to become famous.
Best Parts
The movie shines in exploring obsession taking over someone’s life and people stopping them from chasing any sort of dreams. It keeps things calm but twisted when Jenny is unleashed on the darker side to her obsession. The performances are great with Jennifer Seward shining in the leading role. Elsewhere, it has a dark twisted almost humour about everything, which comes from how Jenny is portrayed in life.
Worst Parts
The cops investigating the nights events don’t seem a larger than life as many other characters designed to try and stop a murder spree. It felt like something bigger was designed and even give us a Loomis Myers connection.
Final Thoughts – Super Happy Fun Clown is a twisted, fun horror with plenty of mystery.
