Eli Roth’s Clown has a very unhappy birthday in this new trailer

Last Updated on July 31, 2021

CLOWN, the werewolf-esque story from producer Eli Roth is finally coming to the U.S. after what feels like a decade. In anticipation, this new trailer shows off the bonkers mythology behind the titular entity. The film seems to be taking its concept a little more seriously than I'd hope, but those effects are some solid stuff. It's like THE SANTA CLAUSE went to hell and came back with this preview. Check it out below!

It’s Jack’s 10th birthday, but the clown has cancelled. His dad, Kent, finds an old clown suit in the attic and saves the party. But after the party is over, Kent has a problem… the suit won’t come off. What starts as a joke quickly turns into a hellish nightmare. Kent can feel himself changing, and his desperate attempts to free himself just leave him in agonising pain.

As the suit takes hold of his body, Kent slowly endures a brutal transformation. As he changes, an uncontrollable hunger begins to consume him, an overwhelming and insatiable hunger… for children.

Peter Stormare, Laura Allen, Christian DiStefano, Elizabeth Whitmere, Matthew Stefiuk, and Andy Powers star.

CLOWN hits limited theaters and VOD on June 17th.
