Stitches 2012 ★★★★
Stitches survived great upon this rewatch.
In real life, this clown is better off stage than on it. As a killer, it's the other way round, with assortment of cheesy gags and oneliners.
The kills are fittingly gory and ludicrous and I also liked the link back to who the kids were at first.
Solid horror comedy. Underrated even, I might say.
All Hallows’ Eve 2013 ★★★½
A suitably gory and scary introduction to Art the Clown. In anthology form, supposedly to try out stuff and see what sticks. But I'm pretty sure Damien Leone he had something with this clown.
The babysitter makes for a nice surrounding story, something you can cut back to. And a solid pay-off at the end.
The first story immediately has you set up for what's to come later in Terrifier. Art being a bully and a dick to an innocent person. Here it hints more at his nature as a demon with a few devil( mask)s that I'm sure look familiar from somewhere.
The second monster – Jack Skellington crossbreeded with an alien – was less memorable but with perhaps a few tweaks could make for a solid horror villain.
The last story is closer to what Terrifier would become. With actually more plot than the full length. Go figure.
It's everything a gorehound could wish for with decapitations and dismemberments galore. Already looking forward to Terrifier 3.
The Receder 2021 ★★★
A fun little comedy short with horror elements. Is this the whackiest role in Victor Löws career?
For people wanting to see a shot that feels like its on shrooms or acid.
