Coulrophobia: the fear of clowns. Don’t act like you don’t have it. If that little evil bastard from POLTERGEIST didn’t do it for you, then Tim Curry’s take on Pennywise in IT most certainly should have. I don’t know what it is about clowns, but I’ll go out of my way to avoid one. Especially if he’s weilding a big ass kitchen knife!
We’ve covered director Conor McMahon’s killer clown terror STITCHES a few times in the past year or so, last sharing with you that the festival hit would soon be hitting theaters on April 1, followed by a VOD/Digital download release April 2. Today we have a brand new Red Band trailer for you to peep in anticipation of the films upcoming release, which you can check out below. You’ll DIE laughing!
Years after a cruel kids’ prank during a birthday party for 8-year-old Tommy (Tommy Knight, Doctor Who, The Sarah Jane Adventures) left hired clown Richard “Stitches” Grindle (Ross Noble) dead on the kitchen floor, the childhood friends gather to plan a birthday bash to end all bashes. But they haven’t counted on the degenerate jester rising from the grave to seek vengeance on the children who mocked him and caused his grisly, untimely end.
Now Tommy and his teenage friends are on the run from an undead jokester who’s ready to use every trick in the book (and many that aren’t) to exact his revenge. Dead Meat writer-director Conor McMahon delivers a delirious slasher epic, a hilariously twisted and blood-soaked tale of one very bad clown with a talent for making balloon animals – but with one very hideous difference.
