Horror Etc Horrorphilia JAFMP Mondo Movie Motion Picture Massacre Movie Brain Rot Movie Meltdown Now Playing Screamwave The Dark Hours The Gentlemen's Grindhouse Zombie Grrlz BLOGS Here we have yet another clown entry of note, Clown Hunt , a low-budget silly from A Hero Never Dies Texas-filmmaker Barry Tubb ( Javelina ) which presents us with the notion that Beasts in Human Skin clowns are now hunted for sport ala whitetail deer, elk and moose. We join a hunting party in Texas (where else) right at the start of the "Silly Season", the sad Bloodtype Online clowns aren't yet in season you see. The sport is government regulated and you Body Count need a license to hunt the clowns and large hunts are organized all over the Cinemaslave country, interestingly the clowns are also eaten, it's bizarre conceit and the Comeuppance Reviews execution ain't too bad either.

I don't think the film 1983 (1) exactly villafies hunting or sportsmen but it has some fun with the stereotypes for sure, even throwing some homo-eroticism our way with some mud wrasslin', it's an 1990's (9) interesting array of characters including one who's a closeted clown, fun stuff. 2000's (43) 2010 (2) 2011 NYC Comic Con (1) 2012 (1) 3D (2) 80's Horror (14) Aaron Ashmore (2) http://mcbastardsmausoleum.blogspot.com/2012/03/dvd-review-clown-hunt-2012.html 3/28/2012 McBASTARD'S MAUSOLEUM: DVD Review: CLOWN HUNT (2012) Page 3 of 48 Aaron Carlson (1) Aaron Eckhart (1) Aaron nee (1) Aashe Aaron (1) Abel Ferarra (1) Action (5) Adam Arkin (1) Adam Brooks (1) Adam Green (5) Adam Hann-Byrd (1) Adam Nee (1) Adam Rehmeier (1) The clowns gather in a village called Gigglestown, USA where they ply their trade; juggling, performing tricks and a few more off kilter practices like crushing baby Adam Rifkin (2) chickens to death underneath their over sized clown shoes, torturing kittens by Adam West (1) trampolining them to the death. The clowns are pretty easy prey for the Adaptation (1) sportsmen 'cept for one named Albino Willy, a legendary clown who's evaded the Adele Silva (1) hunt for two decades whom has his own agenda, to exterminate the hunters and he Adolfo Celi (1) comes equipped with a prop-engine plane which he dive bombs the hunter Adrian Santiago (1) encampment with, dropping water balloons and rubber chickens, when this fails to Adriano Stuart (1) deter the hunt he resorts to corn-holing one of the unlucky bastards and picking 'em Adrienne Corri (1) off the others with a 30 .06 rifle.

At 90 minutes the film is a bit of a slog and I could see it Alexie Ryan (2) being slightly more successful as a short film but for those demented enough to Alfred Hitchcock (2) seek out a lo -fi indie feature about a clown hunt that's chock full o' quips like "Why Alfred Molina (1) don't you eat clown meat?", "It tastes funny" there's some definite silliness to be Alien (5) had, like clown meat it's probably an acquired taste. 2 outta 5 Aliens (2) Aliens Resident Evil (1) Alternative Cinema (1) Alternative Rock (2) Amanada Plummer (1) Amanda Bearse (1) Amanda Fuller (1) Clown Hunt Amicus Films (1) David Keith, Barry...
