The first part of this film concerns a small convoy of fast moving vehicles which includes a crazy trucker. Then we're into a young female baby sitter being terrorized by a killer clown. Then the action moves, with new characters, to a creepy Gothic mansion. I began to wonder if this was an anthology movie but eventually the plot does start to makes sense. This is the film's downside, I think the script and continuity could have been better. However, despite some very bad reviews on here, it's not all negative. Camera work is good & there are some impressive sets. Set in America but filmed in Hungary most of the actors are North American so we don't get any bad, fake accents. A common problem when European actors are employed instead. Finally there is some impressive gore.

It wasn't the best horror film I've watched, but it most certainly was not the worst. It was good, and I was definitely intrigued to watch more mainly because of the actors. Mostly Kier O'Donnell who played the killer. He is an amazing actor and I think he definitely kept the film on its toes. The story line and plot was OK, however quite predictable. Three girls stalked and kidnapped. I did however like the idea of how they all had different stories leading up to meeting the killer one way or another as it all comes together in the very last scene. Many people complained at how the killer changed looks all the time for each story, but I think it was a smart idea. It made the killer more menacing and intimidating as you didn't know if he was someone else. It made you question who was actually who in the film. The script was OK but the actors made it sound better than I imagined it was originally written. I think the killer's most freaky look was in the scary looking, old hotel in the third story. The whole mad, creepy insane professor look goes great for the scenario of the scene! I loved how in the first story, he is an old innocent dude with glasses joining in on the convoy. It also made you think that the truck driver was the killer, with his intimidating look and suspicious behaviour as they made the actual killer look more innocent and 'normal' so to speak. Someone who you'd look at but not think they were going to kill you. The second story shows how the killer dons a clown costume which I think was extremely creepy. The third story showed the killer as, like I said before, a nutty professor type look which I think was the freakiest look. However, the killer is hidden just enough so you don't actually know it's the killer until you hear his signature laugh that you know it's him. Overall, I think everyone needs to stop being so picky. The acting was average from the girls, but very good from Kier. Being a fan of his I was not disappointed with his acting in the film. The film could of been improved to make it more scary and less predictable and more original. I recommend not watching this if your a die hard horror fan who picks out every little improvement and mistake or foul in the film. However, If your someone who will happily sit there and watch the film, understanding possible improvements but still enjoying the acting and the plot and who likes being freaked out in the dark with some friends, I suggest watching this film.

When I first saw the preview for this film I thought, "Wow looks pretty freaky." So, one day I looked it up on netflix and watched it. Well by the end of the movie the only thing I could say was "What?" I mean right from the beginning this movie made absolutely no sense. So here's an example/SPOILER. The first scene of the movie shows a young couple going on a convoy (following someone completely random)to a gas station. Once they get there they get out of the car and meet the person they were following (which just happens to be the killer who is targeting the girl out of the young couple). Another small example/SPOILER would be when the main character is being interviewed by a detective and then once she leaves the room, the main character follows only to find that she's not even in a police station, instead she's in what appears to be a large dungeon? This didn't make an ounce of sense to me. But anyway, the only thing that was good was the production value, but that's it. Cheap dialogue, corny acting and lack of common sense are seen every character making this nothing more than another typically crappy horror film. The story was weird and was a bit pointless in a sense of logic, but it was creepy at a few points. This movie is short though, so watch it if you want something to make fun of. I gave it 1 star for the decent gore and the other for production value.

Amusement is a movie that I've had on my list for quite some time, mostly because of the scary ass clown on the cover. Like 99.9% of the cover art done for modern day movies, it's greatly misleading. There is one semi-intense scene that will provoke your coulrophobia and it was only included, I suspect, as an excuse to create an enticing DVD spread for horror fans.Starting off with the plot, this movie doesn't have one, at least not a coherent one or one that makes an iota of sense. The film is a mish mash of discombobulated scenarios consisting of a maniac stalking three young women because they they didn't find his mutilated-rat-in-a-box particularly funny or entertaining a decade earlier. Talk about holding a grudge. A dumb one.Visually, the movie works. I mean, really works. So does the acting, surprisingly. All of the violence is done off-camera. This isn't a slasher, torture porn (although, with different direction, it could have easily ventured into that territory), or even a mystery/suspense. It was originally slated for theatrical release until the distributor sent it packing straight-to-video after viewing it and it's no brainteaser why. Despite above-par acting and some pretty kick ass locations and sets, Amusement is dragged down by a muddled script, zero scares, and a cookie-cutter villain. It's not even so bad, it's funny.
