Clown in a Cornfield

I found Craig’s film much more interesting when it was just allowed to be chaotic instead of when it was explaining the chaos.

The film, in its trivial way, exudes a dyspeptic downer vibe, the result of everyone in it being so testy and unpleasant.

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil director Eli Craig tackles the mostly faithful adaptation with aplomb, bringing the right balance of gore and comedy for a zippy, lean slasher.

Blood soaked, creative and just a damn good time to be hunted by a psychotic clown, Clown in a Cornfield lives up to its name and then some.

Funny, terrifying, and with some surprising heart, Clown in a Cornfield is a definite treat for horror fans.

… a fast-paced, amiable slasher flick with a handful of big laughs.

Clown in a Cornfield is frustratingly by-the-numbers...until it very much isn't! Fun characters, satisfying carnage, and some nice surprises makes for a very entertaining clown slasher. I'm interested to see more from Friendo!

Anyone who has a passing interest in either horror or comedy should rush out to the theater. Craig has crafted a great horror-comedy that actually delivers on both fronts.

'Clown in a Cornfield' doesn’t just pay homage&#59; it brings its own flavor to this blood-soaked buffet, proving that the slasher genre still has plenty of fresh rows to harvest.

It delivers some pretty effective subversions of genre expectations without being obnoxiously meta or feeling like it’s trying too hard to be clever. The ending lands hard with a sinister twist that elevates it above your typical slasher or horror comedy.
