After suffering a tragedy, Casey wants a change of scenery and takes a job at a museum in the UK which seems to have random exhibits rather than one theme. That may explain why they don’t have a lot of visitors.
Casey has knowledge of history and did previous work as a curator. Thank god because his training consists of someone standing in one spot and pointing in the direction of where the exhibits are located at other points in the building. He is then told he’ll be working on his own the next day to greet visitors and answer their questions. I feel sorry for the visitors.
While looking through a storage room, Casey finds an old jack in the box that he thinks should be on display. What he doesn’t realize- because who would ever consider this possibility - is the box contains an evil clown that when released will have to kill six victims before becoming trapped back in the box.
Once the clown is released, it waits for it’s chance to spring from the box and take a victim. Thieves break into the museum? Perfect time for the clown to strike. Lady alone in the clown room? Casey’s so sleepy he won’t notice that she never came back.
The clown can get out of the box, and it’s bigger than a human. So it’s adept at catching victims, even if they run away. Casey becomes a suspect due to a murder at the museum after he had an argument with the director. I’m not sure why this murder was so bloody when the other three murders at the museum were so neat and tidy no one even knew they took place there.
Casey figures out what is going on, but now the police suspect him of being involved in the disappearances and murders. Since no one will believe there is a dangerous killer jack in the box on the loose, Casey tries to use his curator skills to find the history of this box and how he might be able to stop it.
The music in this movie is like what you would hear in a melodrama. It seems off for a horror movie, but then again, this takes place in Britain who often make low key horror.
