1983: A group of high school students are having a great time near Hollywood Hills at the weekend when they bump into the Loser from their school, Sam, who's just on his way home. Sam would do anything in order to get Jenny's attention, one of prettiest girls in school. Unfortunately she's also the girlfriend of the school's bully, Biff, the quarterback of the football team. Biff and his buddies are keen to take Sam to the old abandoned amusement park to make him prove his courage as part of their initiation ceremony. They involve Jenny in their cruel game as the grand prize of the competition. Sam accepts the challenge, but the girl wouldn't let him go in by himself; she follows him into the amusement park and a night they'll never forget.

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Beystiman

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

It was terrible... Why have we seen this movie ever? I was bored during the movie, nothing special was happening... Only obscene words and lame creators with last century's technologies. ***Spoiler*** Why did the guy go to the park only because of some foolish jocks, and why did the girl follow him? And when they heard the strange voices, and saw creators, why did they not leave the park?

Trying to impress a woman, a man's attempts to infiltrate a supposedly-abandoned amusement park as part of a club initiation causes them to encounter a series of demonic creatures living in the park and forces them to work together in order to get out alive.This here was quite a bland and overall disappointing fantasy/horror effort. Among the big flaws here is the fact that there's just little-to-no actual horror within this one, as the film tends to run through quite a pronounced and extended period of time with nothing happening. There's such a drawn0oiyut bit of him getting initiated with the club and their activities that it really gets off on a bad foot with a truly lame start and it's worse off as it goes along as the scenes of them wandering around the different set-pieces in the carnival aren't all that good. It just simply consists of them wandering around the different parts of the carnival meeting with the creatures and doesn't really seem to offer up any actual rhyme or reason why they're meeting up with them or even offering up anything as to why the creatures are there to begin with. This creates such a distorted and jangly storyline here because it simply consists of things happening that feel completely designed to top one another in the weirdness stakes rather than engaging in any kind of useful or coherent storyline, making for a truly bland premise that doesn't feel like it's mined to it's maximum potential. Likewise, there's little about the creatures here or even why they're created with obvious puppets that don't look or move anything like real, normal creatures would do as they're clearly pulled about on set by wires that are seen numerous times over and are seemingly put there only for the famous voice actors to voice the creatures in order to get them onto the film's box-art. Even more infuriating is the fact that there's just such cringe-inducing comedic attempts throughout here that don't really offer up any kind of true laughs here and really just don't give the film much of any kind of impact here as the lame-ness of the jokes and suspected gags featured here which are clearly intended to be funny yet clearly fails which knocks the film down even more. The last big flaw to this one here is the needless inclusion of the spider-battle sequence, which is lame, completely unfunny and seems so illogical about why she'd join in so easily that it really loses its impact. While all of these bring the film down, it's the first issue here that really hurts it the most and makes the film's few positives seem so few and far between. Since the entire film consists of them running around the carnival after-dark, there's a sense of claustrophobia that's effectively captured here with the darkness and shadows that are put into perfect use at times here and making this one really chilling at times, with the stage for some rather fun chases coming here. The only other worthwhile element here is the utterly demented atmosphere that's conjured up here meeting up with all these different demonic creatures in such relentlessly- paced encounters that it does have a somewhat fun pace. Otherwise, there's little about this one that works.Rated R: Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.

I was at the actual world premiere of the movie (which was fully occupied, I don't know what the other reviewer is actually talking about...) and I can see, why many people will have their issues with the movie.You need to understand, that if the trailer says "In the style of the 80ies", it REALLY means "In the style of the 80ies". It is having all the clishés over and over, that teenagers from now will hardly enjoy this. Gingerclown is clearly a genre movie.So if you are an eighties child, you'll be more friends with this flick, but unfortunately still it's having several issues. The actors are quite bad (most of all the woman and her endless yelling/screaming made my ears bleed), there is hardly anything you'd call horror, almost no gore and many of the scenes feel unreasonably stretched. You'll need a lot of patience.Also the ending...Well, see it for yourself.I liked the monsters though, even if mostly only their heads were built properly. They had their charm, the famous voice actors had surely their fun. They could've gotten a bit more airtime, but it was okay.It had some funny moments too, but overall the movie was unfortunately a letdown, it's hard to call this a horror-comedy, when it's not that funny or scary. They tried too hard with all the nostalgic things what made many of the 80ies movies so bad, it was a bit too much in the end.

OK I just created an IMDb account for the sole purpose of giving you a warning:First, some info about my personal taste in movies. I actually never write reviews, and that is for one reason: I wont be good at it, because I practically like every movie I watch, and I could only write positive reviews all the time, suggesting that you watch it with an open mind. And really, who would be so damn interested in that? No one.OK, so I've seen many bad movies. I actually love most of the movies that people call bad. I love low budget slash horrors, they entertain the hell out of me. I cried laughing at all 6 Leprechaun movies. Yes I did. There is something hilarious to me about movies that are explicitly sh*t. I cant help it. BUT. This movie is something else. I'm actually one of the few (an I mean VERY few) people in the world who has seen it at this point, as I was at the world premiere about 3 and a half hours ago. My friend and I were alone in the whole theater (world premiere!) It should have been a sign, but we're both hardcore movie fans, and can't be discouraged so easily. Then it started: 20 minute long scene - slow, boring, trite. 450 ways to make this an interesting lead-in, none taken. This is the point where I should mention, that the whole thing is supposed to be a "fake 80's movie" - in style (some kind of retro American thing, realized mainly through costumes and hairstyles), and in production, meaning it lacks all modern computer-generated effects. In short: the monsters are ridiculous looking plastic dolls moved by actors. Now as I said, this wont be a bad thing necessarily, and actually these monster scenes are the high points of the movie - not because they are good, but because apart from the rest of the movie, they are SOMETHING. Yes, and we have arrived to the main problem: the NOTHING that this movie is. The 4 or 5 scenes with the monsters are the small pieces of floating material in the pond of pure boredom. This is what happens in between: They walk. Wander around in completely random places. Sometimes they run. They talk about completely irrelevant and uninteresting things. They look scared. Thats about it. It was around the 2/3 mark that I realized it wont get any better. In the beginning I thought OK it opens slow but it should get better any minute. Later I thought OK this is definitely not a good movie but they spin it around with some crazy sh*t and it'll be OK in the end. Nothing happened. I'm getting tired here and there's so many other things that are just inexcusably sh*t about this movie - like the complete lack of logic (again, not necessarily a problem, if its backed up with other interesting elements), the barely above 0 acting performance (I am convinced that the movie was shot during a single night, without ANY of the scenes being shot twice to make them better), the nonexistent visual world.... or anything, really. But I think you're getting the idea already. There was one joke I laughed out loud at. That is why the only imaginable category in which this movie gets 1/10 instead of 0/10 is humor. And these all are why I felt it was my sworn duty to warn you not to go to this film. I can hardly think of worse things you could do with that time and money. I warned you! OK, footnote: Sorry for any grammar mistakes. Feel free to correct them, if you find any!
