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. - 58
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. - 58
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. - 50
RogerEbert.com
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. - 38
Slant Magazine
Jon Watts does nothing with the scarily funny notion of a respectable professional who suddenly refuses to shuck a party costume. - 10
The New York Times
[A] glib and repellent exercise in “can you top this” genre opportunism.
