Wow, this is a REALLY bad movie!

Just perfect...

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

This movie absolutely left me wanting more. I thought the opening sequence with the blonde woman (whose robe was wide open) was totally a clever way to get the action moving and help foreshadow the rest of the film. The characters were all very believable as friends as well, although it appeared that even though Mark and Brandon were friends enough to go away camping together for the weekend, Brandon still had no clue how Mark met his wife. Tracey and Brandon also had great chemistry as well, and even though Brandon had sex with Denise in the middle of the same night he had sex with Tracey previously, I was totally rooting for Brandon and Tracey to get together. I could totally feel the anguish and the confusion Mark felt as he looked for his wife in the woods as well, and when he had sex with Denise on that very same expedition, I knew I was watching something truly special unfold. Whilst Densise and Mark engaged in a brief respite from searching for Susan(whom they feared missing) and had sexual intercourse on the ground, I found the wood chopping scenes, taking place at the same time, very chilling. Nothing made me gasp in fear more though than when the killer clown bellowed aloud in the woods, then appeared at the door to the house and yelled "welcome to hell (expletives)!". Very genius interchange between characters indeed. In the end, I found this movie a true cinematic work of art, filled with plot twists and suspense aplenty.

If this film was a comedy, I would have given it a 10. Oh my, where do I begin? Put it this way -- I've seen lots of terrible horror films, but this one makes Troll 2 look like freakin' Saving Private Ryan. It's as if a group of porn filmmakers decided to make a horror film, changed their mind in midproduction and decided to do a comedy, then went back to horror, and then decided that they should have just stuck with porno (softcore at that). Everything about this film is simply terrible: the musical score (someone shoot the guy who invented the Yamaha keyboard), the script, the directing, the cinematography, the acting. There simply are no words to describe this. Oh wait, yes there are: Holy $*%!.

I didn't really have too high expectations for the film. I love checking out Independent horror flicks, So I thought I'd give Grim Weekend (AKA S.I.C.K - Serial Insane Clown Killer) a chance. I realise that people may like movies regardless of their reviews. So I'll just try and weigh up the Good & Bad points for those interested.Let's Start with the bad points... Acting! The so called 'acting' was atrocious. Ken Herbert was by far the worst. His whiny voice was the main problem of them all for this film in my opinion. Also he was casted in a role that was the complete opposite of him. He was supposed to be a 'Charmer', according to the film, When reality is that he's small fat guy, with an annoying tone. The casting department made a fatal mistake. Next we move on to the camera, The movie was filmed on a Digital Camera. Which is really enough said. But I'll add that it took me 30 minutes to forget about it.Good Points... The plot to me was really entertaining, Then again I am only a 15 year old. Who happens to hate clowns. In some places the plot was original, A chubby clown running around in woods etc. It made me laugh quite a lot that the character Mark couldn't manage to out-run a over-weight clown.To sum up if you enjoy cheesy C-Movie Horror flicks then check out this movie. It's quite entertaining some times. If your over the age of 20 this will NOT float your boat, and I recommend you avoid it.I'll add that I rented this with Land of the Dead (2005) and I found this more entertaining. A better Low-Budget horror film to check out is: 'Detour'4/10

In the beginning this movie seemed to have a not so bad build up. The characters were saying plausible lines and the story seemed as if it could be going somewhere (-the first little unrelated scene). The killer clown in the woods idea was a kind of cool idea to go off of as well. However towards the end (other than the sex scenes) everything seemed forced and the scary plot potential they had fell apart. If done right this plot line could have been brought to much greater heights. Its really too bad because I think people have forgotten how to make films like this. Someone needs to save the horror/slasher genre.
