There’s passable gory fun to be had in this oddity from the
director of Zombie Women of Satan in which a group of female friends are
terrorised in the woods by four ‘circus freak’ siblings. The young women are
made up as clowns before being subjected to abuse, humiliation, torture and
casual murder. Eventually the family’s equally freaky father turns up, recently
released from prison. There are occasional cutaways to their uncle and
flashbacks to their mother’s death but that’s pretty much it for the plot of
what is best categorised as ‘eccentric torture porn’, the bizarre costumes and
characters ameliorating what would otherwise have been tedious brutality. The
victims are a roller derby team but, despite some skating shots topping and
tailing the main story, that’s completely irrelevant, sadly negating the ‘Circus
freaks vs roller girls’ high concept tag-line. British horror regular Bennett steals
the show as a crazed jester. Shot June/July 2014, it was temporarily retitled
All Clowns Must Die during post-production.
