A bunch of women which were mainly prostitutes are being dispatched and left in their bathtubs bloodied by a maniac wearing a clown mask named Max (Dave Workman) whom was adopted after being raised by a dysfunctional family and he keeps in touch with his niece named Kathy Dixon (Natasha Roberts) on the phone as he has weird conversations with her.
The male doctor named Matt Green (Nathan Day) has a patient who is Kathy and is having the dreams and wants to do further research, but the patient is the ex-girlfriend of the female doctor named Stacy Jaros (Stephani Heise) and tries to keep Kathy safe from her uncle since the police won't investigate not believing the dream theory as Max plans to make Kathy his next victim.

 

We have many clown killer flicks like Camp Blood and Mr. Jingles that have bombed and this one takes the beating. When does anyone ever learn that killer clowns are not original enough without a great plot and a descent budget?
This was made on a cheap camcorder and the story is hard to follow. Tries so hard to be scary with the crazed killer Purvos and the flashback memories but it's all laughable in a bad way. A movie so bad it's awful!
Towards the end of the film was kinda interesting but it doesn't save the film from bombing at all.

The acting is terrible as lead actress Stephani Heise as an employee at the centre tries to pull her weight as much as possible but doesn't really pass and seems quite bland with her performance too.
Natasha Roberts
seems a little too mellodramatic as her lover but however can seem convincing in other spots as she pulls a bit of energy to her part in it.
Please shoot Dave Workman as the killer clown Purvos who was overly annoying and can't act even if he is forced to who tried to perform crazy with his giggles but is an extreme amateur.
Nathan Day
seems to do not too bad as an employee at the centre with his serious attitude and can seem passable with it.
Jacob Ennis
was memorable although not a great actor as a security guard with a bad attitude who seems very silly with his work.
We have a special appearance by Conrad Brooks who doesn't even save the film with his performance as his career was kaput at this time but does well acting a little strange towards the end of the movie.

Bit part actress Leslie Lance is bare breasted while taking a bubble bath as well as her dead in a bathtub.
Supporting actress
Elysse exposes her breasts as well in a hotel room and the same goes for Jenny Bell as another hooker in a separate scene.
There are also two women barebreasted smeared in blood together in a bath tub.

Lots of bloodsheds and blood smears along with some stabbings.
Purvos is eaten alive with flesh and guts being eaten which looked believeably gross

Jerry Bell is extremely amateurish with his work on this film and would do better working in the porn industry as there's not much to talk about here.
He makes the beginning of the story unconvincing with Leslie Lance taking a bath and talking on the phone to her friend and then having Dave Workman coming in and getting ready to kill her as it looks way too obvious and very phony.
There's a good black and white camera shot on supporting actress Rebecca Warrell talking about what she afraid of as she is way too melodramatic with her emotions.
We have some fairly descent dialogues between Stephani Heise and Nathan Day discussing their clients but it really doesn't go anywhere.
We have a scene with Natasha Roberts on the phone talking to Workman on the other line with him acting weird and although she does well acting uncomfortable it's not enough to make the moment effective.
We have a supporting actress named Elysse as a hooker whipping Workman and acting perverted but it looks extremely phony.
There is another scene with Workman talking to another supporting actress named Jenny Bell who played another hooker in a car but their dialogue is very slacking and Workman tried to act crazy but was not at all convincing.
However there's another scene involving the two with a good camera shot on Bell rising near a bed with a misty effect wearing a mask and then sitting on top of Workman.
We have a close to a good dialogue scene between Roberts acting romantic towards Heise as a lesbian romance but yet the emotions are a little too overboard.
We have a scene with Workman pulling Heise from her car and hitting her which looked very sloppy.
There's a good camera shot on Heise pointing a gun with clenched teeth.
We also have a good shot on Workman walking up with a menacing expression.
There is a good dialogue between Heise and Day when Day tells her that they pulled the plug on her job as her reaction was quite good.
We have a good shot on supporting actor Conrad Brooks when he is admiring the mask and laughing which is probably the only thing worth watching in this movie and then the credits come rolling up.

We have Relativity Machine & Oedipus Rex composing the music for this clunker as some of their keyboard playing actually sounds not too bad at times with some good dark and icy sounds and also performed a crude number for the opening and closing credits titled "MOFO" which was quite funky.
