    lunacy en masse'

    Ive seen a few clown movies latele, from the best performances in the batman movies, to the lowest issued here in the film bad man, a clown with utterly madning needs and cravings set into a mad mans system, trying to make a living doll out of a woman and a dog out of a man,via chemotherapeutic injections of different kinds, and peaking the curve when the he-dog get an injection of viagra, so imagine a dogman on steroids well its a footish gallore of gutwrenching sickness.

    the movies first 10 minutes are of a nice soothing kind, and it is in fact a very romantic prelude of extremely well built interaction between two people who really in love. but when they open the door to hell by letting in a stranger all hell breaks loose.its not a bloody and messy gallore of a horror flick, more a sado-masochistic freakshow, with a lot of psychpathia and sadism evolving the two lovers. if this is your fetish,and if you get wet and hard viewing this madness, then please take contact with your local medical practitioner, because you really need help to rebuild your senses and ill stricken mind. if youre barely normal, dont watch this lame and kindergarten hans ont gretchen medical compound scientific exploratory weirdo business.

    why did i,the grumpy old man watch this sickening ning ning,charade, well mostly due to the rviews,and i now know whos false and whos real, and whos the sick one.and i regret wholeheartedly that i gave 80 minutes of my precious life to this illstricken directed s/m romp.

    Oh Myyyyy

    Started off like it was gonna be good, but then 15 minutes into it it got really stoopid.

    You have a guy in your house and you see him slinking around dressed as a clown but hen you dont do anything? REALLY???? Yeah. Let's go to sleep.

    How stoopid.

    Then 20 minutes into it, it becomes unwatchable.

    The Bad Movie

    Oh my god, the only horrible thing in this movie is the acting and the story. Never once it was scary and i laughed/giggled more to this than i normally do to many comedies.

    The Bad Man

    This film will stick with you after watching it. As my mind would wander at work the next day, I'd find myself thinking about it, as it had obviously gotten under my skin. The performances leave something with you that you will not easily shake. Arthur Cullipher is so dead on that you start to wonder how much is real and how much is really acting. I cannot wait to see what Scott Schirmer has up his sleeve next, because I'm not sure how he can top this film!

    what could be a nasty horror turns in a joke

    Nowadays with the revival of the killer clowns productions are trying to make money out of it. And let me say, some succeed and some, like this one doesn't. The story looked promising and even original. Bring in some kinky story with fetish, latex, SM and all that stuff and you do have a story...I thought.

    Sadly this one fails bringing in the horror. It brings in the typical scary jump parts with the clown but once he does invade the home this flick drops down into a boring thing. Even as the clown is doing it's best to make it scary somehow it doesn't. What happens is in stead of having the heebee jeebees I became ridiculous and funny which wasn't intended. The horror just moves away after a while.

    At the end with the rock, you will see, even that part is done off-camera to only show the result and even that is so wrong. Is that the only flesh left behind?

    No, the bad man is more a joke.
