Purely Joyful Movie!

Amateur movie with Big budget

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

Honestly...I did not like the first one either.But it sometimes happens sequels are better than the original and thats why I decided to watch this one. While the first had some cheap scares and some good chase scenes, this one has non of that.The movie is to long and all that time is wasted on romantic development which easily fills half the film.Few years back I searched quite some time for a good "clown horror" movie.Until this day "stitches" with Ross Noble is the best one according to me and a sequel for this would be a welcome one.Only "Stitches" and "it" bring high quality to this horror sub genre.Point is, there is something better.Both the "fear of clowns" films and "clownstrophobia" are about the worst you can get in this sub genre."Clown" released in 2014,I think?,showed great promise but was numbed down to much probably to reach a bigger audience,so that was really a shame. Keeping my hopes up for a "stitches" trilogy.Go Noble!

First of all, this movie is a million times better than the original Fear of Clowns. I don't know if this was the intension, but it's also freaking hilarious. I was cracking up almost the whole time. It's pretty cool that it's a local film (Maryland/Eastern Shore) too. But the acting is improved, the story is improved, the interest is improved (in the first FOC, I only really liked it during the last part of the movie because it takes place in a movie theater that I go to all the time). There is a bit of suspense, but like almost all horror movies, the point of the whole thing is pretty much not there. However, movies like this are also meant to entertain, and this movie did that very well. That's why I give it a 7/10. It's satisfactory. I am glad Kevin Kangas had more money to put into the second installment. Maybe if he makes a third FOC, he'll have an even bigger budget and be able to make a much better movie that even all the Kevin Kangas haters can enjoy.

I have never understood those that say Kangas' movies suck. He shows growth with every movie he has done, and with his third film he has gotten the brass ring. Kangas does movies I WANT to see - horror with some intelligence behind them. I caught this premiering in Baltimore and have to say that he really outdid himself with FOC2. The stand out in my mind - performance-wise - was Frank Lama as Peters. He was really convincing this time out. Jacky Reres and Mark Lassise really shined as well, and for a low budget horror movie, the story, thrills, special effects, and production values were superb. David Mun was excellent as the director of photography. Anyone that wants to see a GOOD horror movie should rent or buy this once it comes out. You will not be disappointed.

I was able to attend the premiere in Baltimore a few weeks ago. It was fun to meet some of the cast and see them milling around in the lobby after seeing them up on the big screen. What was especially cool was having a chance to talk to Frank Lama for a few minutes after the show. He was really gracious and modest about his performance in the film and even let us snap a few photos with him before jumping into a limo to attend an after party. I hope lots of people see Fear of Clowns 2 for Lama's performance, which I thought was incredible. I could definitely see him on TV or in bigger budget movies, which is not always the case with actors in low budget feature films. He played Peters with humor and intelligence -- awkwardly bumbling when he tried to make a human connection with the clown artist Lynn but cool and tough when he tangled with the clowns. Peters was a very believable and likable character, which is saying something in a movie with three killer clowns! I hope to see Lama in other films that showcase his obvious abilities.
