So down below (at the very end) I will briefly explain the plot.

This movie was pretty well done, and the clown was creepy as hell. From the cover I thought it was going to be a typical killer clown movie, and then in the trailer you hear a character mention "the spirit of John Wayne Gacy" so I figured it was his spirit come to wreak havoc.

The movie was very slow. It was almost agony in some spots, and I just wanted to fast forward. There was quite a bit that could have been cut out, but I felt like was left in there so this wouldn't be considered a short film. (This was the main reason I rated it so low).

I did not like the mom's acting at all and the dad's was hit/miss scenario. The son and the clowns were amazing though.

I didn't really understand why the dad wasn't in rehab... Like, if you are addicted to coke and alcohol and your therapist knows, why wouldn't they put you in rehab? The couple therapist was very unbelievable that anyone would actually give him a license to work with people.

**SPOILER** is right below:

If you are confused by the ending/movie in general I hope this will clear things up:

The son is 6 years old and has obviously suffered abuse at the hands of his drug addicted father. Gacy's ghost (who apparently lingers around this house) tells the boy that he was also abused by his father but to a much worse extent. Gacey then torments the dad as a way to get back at him for being a horrible parent, but also hurts the mom since she took him back instead of getting Dylan out of this horrid situation. Gacy is slowly coaching the boy into taking his father's life, and when he thinks he is ready he helps the kid kill the dad. The mom doesn't die, the son calls an ambulance for her, the dad is dead, and the ghost of Gacy wanders off into the night.

Jamie (Stephanie Fieger) and Christian (Joshua Burrow) are making a second effort to keep their marriage together. Jamie convinces herself everything is alright, that daddy's anger issue is over.

Christian is a stock broker who works at home and plays horrible music with lyrics such as "I'm sick in love with you." He parties with his friend in the basement while they scheme of an illegal "pump and dump" scam to make money. Their six year old son Dylan (Dylan Mars Loff) believes dad still has his anger. A haunting clown appears whenever Dylan recites "Peter, Peter pumpkin eater..."

Christian acts like an unshaven creepy Eric Roberts. We discover more about the clown as the movie progresses. The film has minimal blood and horror. It is a psychological thriller with the barely passable acting and script. Not for everyone.
