Getting ready for its Blu-ray and DVD release this coming April is the UK slasher hit STITCHES and we now have the first U.S. trailer for you guys to check out. As if we need more of a reason to be scared clowns, STITCHES blends horror and comedy in this hilarious looking slasher film out of Dark Sky Films.
World renowned British standup comedian Ross Noble stars as a murderous kids’ birthday party clown for director Conor McMahon (Dead Meat, The Disturbed) in STITCHES, debuting with special April Fools’ Day screenings in select cities on April 1, 2013. For fans who can’t catch the rampage on the big screen, STITCHES will be available on VOD, Digital Download, Blu-ray and DVD on April 2 from MPI/Dark Sky Films.
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.
The more I see from STITCHES the more excited I get to check it out. All of these trailers have been great but this one has to be my favorite so far. Check it out!
