There are numerous horror flicks with creepy killer clowns, and just as much with innocent people being besieged and killed by anonymous masked weirdo's. Here it's a mixture, probably supposing that it would add some originality to both concepts. Well, it didn't. It's the same old cliché of a group of friends that get lost on their way and out of the blue become the target of a few sadistic murderers, in this case clowns. No complicated twists or turns, just the usual cat and mouse game with some hiding and seeking and mutual brutal killings, until the last surviving friends succeed in getting away and drive safely towards the sunrise. The end.
Apart from the well-done scary make-up of the clowns, an occasional effective jump-scare and some modest gore, the whole thing is for the rest rather underwhelming. The acting is really below par, and awkward editing makes that the pace at many times sags due to too drawn-out scenes. A movie just for die-hard killer-clown aficionados, I would say.
