I should note at the outset of this review that I haven't seen the first film in the series, not that it matters much. FEAR OF CLOWNS 2 is another stupid horror flick about a killer who goes around murdering people while dressed as a clown. It's every bit as bad as one of those interminable CAMP BLOOD sequels. The only difference is that this film has an urban rather than woodland setting. It's just one of those amateur productions with no redeeming features.
... View MoreHonestly...I did not like the first one either.But it sometimes happens sequels are better than the original and thats why I decided to watch this one. While the first had some cheap scares and some good chase scenes, this one has non of that.The movie is to long and all that time is wasted on romantic development which easily fills half the film.Few years back I searched quite some time for a good "clown horror" movie.Until this day "stitches" with Ross Noble is the best one according to me and a sequel for this would be a welcome one.Only "Stitches" and "it" bring high quality to this horror sub genre.Point is, there is something better.Both the "fear of clowns" films and "clownstrophobia" are about the worst you can get in this sub genre."Clown" released in 2014,I think?,showed great promise but was numbed down to much probably to reach a bigger audience,so that was really a shame. Keeping my hopes up for a "stitches" trilogy.Go Noble!

I was cracking up almost the whole time. It's pretty cool that it's a local film (Maryland/Eastern Shore) too. But the acting is improved, the story is improved, the interest is improved (in the first FOC, I only really liked it during the last part of the movie because it takes place in a movie theater that I go to all the time). There is a bit of suspense, but like almost all horror movies, the point of the whole thing is pretty much not there. However, movies like this are also meant to entertain, and this movie did that very well. That's why I give it a 7/10. It's satisfactory. I am glad Kevin Kangas had more money to put into the second installment. Maybe if he makes a third FOC, he'll have an even bigger budget and be able to make a much better movie that even all the Kevin Kangas haters can enjoy.
... View MoreI remember last year walking thru Blockbuster and spotting this DVD cover with a crazy looking clown on the front and thinking to myself "I MUST check this movie out!" Well that movie was "FEAR OF CLOWNS". I instantly got hooked on it. The character development, story, and suspense had me sucked in within the first 20 minutes of the movie! Kevin Kangas I feel has created a new horror icon. Shivers the bare chested, buffed clown has made a huge impact in the horror genre! Well Fear of clowns 2 was no different! I went to see the premier in Baltimore MD last week. The sequel definitely lived up to the original, maybe even surpassed it! Kevin and company provide twice the suspense, twice the gore, triple to death scenes, triple the crazy and messed up clowns, and just the right amount of comedy and one liners! I can't wait for this one to come of DVD! I encourage all horror fans to definitely check out FEAR OF CLOWNS 2! Huge kudos to Kevin Kangas, Jacky Reres, Frank Lama, Mark Lassise, and everyone else involved! Dominic
