Brandon invites three friends, (Tracy, his date, and married couple Mark and Susan), to his uncle's remote cabin in the woods for a relaxing weekend. On the way, they stop in a bar and decide to give a ride to a young hitchhiker who is being harassed by a trucker. For some stupid reason, they also decide to let her stay at the cabin.After a night of drinking, they get up to discover Susan is missing and there are decapitated dolls in the fridge. They head into the woods to look for Susan and find other dolls made up like clowns, and something horrible nailed to a tree. Honestly, I'm not sure what it was but they all recoiled in terror. Eventually everyone starts arguing and blaming each other for what is happening.
Then we cut to a clown cam point of view, which consists of most of the screen blocked except for two eye holes. The evil clown has Susan tied to a tree and he's got an axe. Nothing good can come from this. People run around the woods, the clown chases them, and stupid things happen.
The soundtrack is not appropriate for what is happening on screen. It sounds like it was made on a Casio keyboard. There is a twist ending that will make you go "oh" and wish you hadn't wasted your time.
A few other observations:
- even though the clown is walking slowly and is severely overweight, he is still able to catch Mark since Mark runs like he's wearing heels and a dress.
- the clown spends most of his time chopping wood and singing nursury rhymes in a satan-esque voice
- the clown only wears his clown suit at the beginning of the film, then he wears a white tshirt with the clown mask
- when I saw the subtitle my first thought was, "so they are killing insane clowns?"
- the opening scene of a woman who is stabbed seems to have no relevance to anything else in the film.
