Stitches (2012)

A Clown (Ross Noble) comes back from the dead to reek vengeance on those he blames for his accidental death at a children's Birthday, party many years ago.

Kind of "Friday 13th" meets Freddy Kreugar with a mass dose of 60's gore legend Hershell Gordon Lewis, Stitches is purely played for (blood drenched) laughs.Ross Noble is perfect in the lead, he pretty much looks like a mad clown even without the makeup and red nose, some of the 'death scenes' are pretty inventive, especially two involving an umbrella and a bicycle pump!!

"THERE'S A KILLER CLOWN IN THE HOUSE!!"

Not in the slightest bit scary, but great, gory fun, and a very entertaining black comedy.
