Sinopsis(1)
Kent, un padre de familia de lo más normal, decide enfundarse un viejo disfraz de payaso que encuentra por casualidad para amenizar la fiesta de cumpleaños de su hijo Jack. Al acabar la celebración, Kent descubre que es incapaz de quitarse el traje, a la par que comienza a sufrir una serie de terroríficos cambios en su físico y su personalidad. Presa de una diabólica maldición, la vida de Kent y su familia se convertirá en una cuenta atrás para detener su transformación antes de que sea demasiado tarde. (Vértigo Films Esp.)
(más)Reseñas (3)
Por fin, un payaso que trata a los niños insoportables como se merecen. Y que, al menos en la última etapa de transformación, tiene un aspecto feo y aterrador. Es una lástima el equilibrio completamente mal gestionado entre el drama de terror serio y la serie B involuntariamente cómica. No es tanto que no se gestione como que sea inconsciente. Lo que es peor.

A few tweaks in the script and it could be perfect. It needs to get rid of some of the filler, expand and develop more deeply the final moral dilemma and a more uniform atmosphere. What bothers me the most about Clown is how many times the mood changes from one scene to the other: from laughter to depression, from oppressive tension to horror fun. But even then it’s fine. There hasn’t been such an effective monster for quite some time and his final form is especially cool. I can’t remember a better horror film with a clown as a character. It had more potential, but I’m satisfied.

Clown isn't groundbreaking, even though it tries to present a fairly interesting mythology, but that doesn't mean it isn't a great horror film. That's what I would see as the main aspect of this film. It's a horror that can touch on your hidden fears, and it's a dark horror, brilliantly escalating even in how the clown transforms. Yes, technically it's also very well done; you just won't get much of Eli Roth in it.
