SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
StoneMetalConfessional This movie has the worst acting I've ever seen. It appears to have been written by a 9 year old, and the story makes no sense what-so-ever. It was a waste of time and energy to sit through this horrible excuse of a movie. I didn't even finish the movie, because I stopped when the "clown" picked up an innocent cat and started smashing it against something. This movie automatically gets -5 stars for pointless animal abuse.You don't need to show the antagonist killing innocent pets to show that he's evil. All of the popular horror movies don't, because they had a brain when writing their script. Whoever the fuckwit was that made this sure as hell didn't. Sitting through this movie felt like a chore more than anything positive. I would not recommend it for ANYONE.
katerinula One of the most horrible movies ive ever seen.this is not a comedy. and the dialogs were horrible...
cavemould what a load of rubbish. It got a few laughs in the beginning with the humourless clown and his bad attitude and poor clown skills, but quickly went downhill from there. This movie is somehow even worse than the scary movie series which is also barely tolerable. I stopped watching at the point that ripping apart a man's genitals is presented as a humorous event. Had this been a clown ripping out a woman's genitalia, and everyone finding that hilarious I am pretty sure the movie would have been banned everywhere, but because its a man, its just fine, as men are objects to be abused and laughed at. Any time a man gets hurt or injured in a movie its a source of amusement, and any time a woman gets hurt or injured its a source of tragedy, even if its just her precious feelings. It's crass, cheap and offensive. That's why I gave this a 1/10 and didn't bother watching to the end.
gorepump I really wasn't expecting anything from "Stitches", but to my surprise, it actually turned out to be an immensely entertaining slasher joint out of Ireland.While putting on a half-assed show for a bunch of misbehaving brats at a birthday party, Stitches the Clown has an unfortunate mishap that results in his bloody accidental demise. Cut to six years later, those same kids are in high school and the birthday boy from the ill-fated party is still haunted by the death of Stitches, especially after having stumbled across a strange clown ritual going on in the cemetery following Stitches' funeral. While the teenage friends are throwing a big drunken house bash, Stitches rises from his grave for revenge...As far as slasher-comedies go, I rarely see any true effort put into them - especially these days. "Stitches" is actually a pretty refreshing entry in the genre - being clearly of modest budget, yet still managing to come across as a professional looking flick with an unusually likable cast of characters, a reasonably memorable villain and a few instances where the humor actually worked. There's also a few decent and relatively gory deaths, cleverly themed after traditional clown tricks (one guy gets his head inflated like a balloon and popped). The one thing I feel like it could've done without, however, was the clown cult/painted egg thing that I felt didn't quite work and takes ya out of it a little toward the end. Otherwise, this one is definitely a fun way to blow an hour-and-a-half.More Gorepump horror reviews at http://swinesewage.blogspot.com/
