I forgot all about the Eli Roth-produced Clown (read our review), which stemmed from a faux trailer by Jon Watts about a man who puts on an old clown costume, only to transform into a demon clown that eats children.
The flick opened in the UK last March and then quickly went away. Thanks to our eagle-eyed reader, @jandrysays, it looks as if Clown will arrive on various VOD platforms here in the States on March 18th. The Vudu (Walmart) listing shows that it is being released via Anchor Bay, although we don’t have actual confirmation from the distributor yet.
Clown stars Peter Stormare, Laura Allen, Christian DiStefano, Elizabeth Whitmere, Matthew Stefiuk, and Andy Powers.
“It’s Jack’s 10th birthday, but the clown has cancelled. His dad, Kent, finds an old clown suit in the attic and saves the party. But after the party is over, Kent has a problem… the suit won’t come off. What starts as a joke quickly turns into a hellish nightmare. Kent can feel himself changing, and his desperate attempts to free himself just leave him in agonizing pain.
As the suit takes hold of his body, Kent slowly endures a brutal transformation. As he changes, an uncontrollable hunger begins to consume him, an overwhelming and insatiable hunger… for children.”
