Clown at Midnight (1998)

Your Average Teen Slasher Flick, But Well Done.

"The Clown At Midnight" is about a group of teenagers cleaning up an old Operah house that one of the teenagers name Kate, had a mother who was an opera actress, who was butchered by a man wearing a clown mask. Then now, the teenagers are locked up, while one of their teachers/manager are missing, and then the clown starts to hunt them down, one by one...

It is well done, the death scenes were fair enough. There is a stabbing, a boy falling off a roof, an electricution, a hanging, a spear through a stomach, and an axe in the face, and a decapitation. But when there is a chase scene between the clown and a victim, there is no music or sound track whatsoever, so it's not really intresting. These teens aren't average ordinary sluts like you see in Friday the 13th, they know when it's not a joke, and they try to be superior using a weapon in their hands for the most part...and then they die. Atleast they tried.

It's worth a rental since I rented it from a video store. Good acting, some characters you care about. October 28, 2005

this movie sucked and what a boring plot by jordan

a dumbass clown is killing kids trying to reopen an operahouse. this wasn't even scary and it was so predictable about a clown. You didn't really think it was Paglacci did you. It was the old guy. When they finally reveal who the clown is it ruins the point that a clown is its own type of creature. And how could that 80 year old manager(or at least that's what he looks like)be the clown I mean seriously. Cmon an 80 year old guy killing 5 or 6 teens.

There is also something else that dissopoint and ruins the whole movie. It's they always have in these slasher movies "let's split up kind of routine" so he'll be able to kill us one by one. Also why are clowns always bad guys they are supposed to be hilarios not killers. You might as well disguise yourself like a mermaid or something.

No one can by an electricuting chair and they don't have them in operahouses. so that just made the movie make itself even dumber. Jean the director must have been really freaked out by clowns as a kid. I think this horror movies is more meant for teens to laugh at. This movie should be rated pg-13 not R. I mean the clown didn't do any sexual stuff to the teens he only killed the kids that you can't cry about because they weren't satisfying characters.

At the end I couldn't believe that kid who saved her only kissed. They didn't run out to get the police or anything. If your freaked about clowns and you rent this movie you will see clowns are not really like this and maybe you'll say ha ha ha I shouldn't have ever thought they were like this. May 6, 2005

Where's the clown from Stephen King's IT when you need him?

from beginning to bloody retarded end this is diffently a cheesy slasher movie without a doubt. this has kids volunteering at an abandoned theatre which is reopened and they soon find out that one of their friends mom was murdered in the building and that same son of a (...)that killed her mother is still in there and it comes out at midnight and kills them off one by one. obviously predictable and you know who is going to die right away in order. I laughed my ass off when the clown electrocuted that (...)student in the electric chair. It just gave me the giggles it was so horrible. This natural disaster of a movie stars Christopher Plummer and Margot Kidder for some reason, maybe they were bored and didnt have anything else to do. James DuVal stars in other movie with Sarah Lassez, they co starred in the apocalyptic teen movie Nowhere. This would freak out a person if there afraid of clowns but I tell ya it's not that scary.

"Scream" meets "Phantom Of The Opera"

I am so glad I bought this movie it was realy scary and fun.The only thing that sucked was the opening murder scene(It did look like the opening of "Halloween" in a way).But other than that it was good it also stars that one girl from "Fresh Prince Of Bel Air". June 13, 2004

It was weak...

K, so this movie was pretty weak...hello, they didn't freakin make out at the end! We were waiting for George and Kate to start gettin' freaky and the wuss just hugged her head...what's that all about? He needs to work on his game. The sex scene was definitely entertaining...talk about how you give the guy props from hitting it from the backside...and the intertwining of the sword fight was classic. Hmm, maybe I should give it 2 stars instead... October 20, 2003
