      Los Angeles Times

      Refreshingly dark and sick, this is a movie for those who like cinematic monsters that hit so hard they leave a mark.

      The A.V. Club

      While Watts deserves some credit for treating a totally ridiculous premise with a straight face, his grisly first feature plays very much like what it is: a 90-second joke stretched uncomfortably to full length.

      The Film Stage

      Blending elements from body-horror, slashers, and folklore, Clown has a mean bite and cruelly sharp wit that almost balances some of the less inspired decisions from a first-time director.

      While Clown is far from the disastrous misfire that typically stains VOD horror movies (most range from awful to “I never want to see a movie again”), it comes apart about halfway through, losing a very difficult tonal balance. Having said that, there’s more to like here than the studio burial would have you believe.

      Slant Magazine

      Jon Watts does nothing with the scarily funny notion of a respectable professional who suddenly refuses to shuck a party costume.

      [A] glib and repellent exercise in “can you top this” genre opportunism.
