This film is about a clown which can shapeshift into children’s worst fears and feeds upon it.A young group of individuals make it their duty to stop the clown and face their fears in order to rid of the clown in their town as they have noticed that he reoccurs on special events held within their town killing kids.

The cinematographer Chung-hoon Chung keeps his cameras gliding around the action lending cinematic pans of the locations, he also uses a lot of close ups in order to capture the scary features of the clown as well the facial expressions of the kids in fear.

The music within the film is good as it matches with the scene creating a more intense Erie vibe whenever the clown is in frame or even when his signature red balloon is in frame.

The location of the horror film is satisfactory as it set in a small town with roughly a population of about 500 people or less with creepy alleyways and houses and isolated buildings which comes under the genre of horror.

However even though this film is a horror film to me personally I felt that this film was not scary enough to be classed as horror as it lacks in jump scares and thriller and also as the main characters are associated with kids the movie lacked in loss of a loving character like many other horror films.as there was only one tragic death which was the main characters little brother Georgie.
