Following her breakout success in a killer clown horror flick, Bowie finds herself held hostage by an unhinged fan determined to recreate the film’s fatal plot.
Grimmfest Says: Likely to spark controversy, conversation and some heated debate, Raymond Wood’s candy-coloured queercore feminist revenge shocker sees an up-and-coming actress confronting the fall-out of appearing in a successful but critically reviled clown-themed slasher movie. Boasting an extraordinary, emotionally raw, harrowingly honest lead performance by Jenna Kanell, who also co-writes, the film is inspired more than a little, it seems, by some of her own experiences in the wake of starring in the first TERRIFIER, and deftly balances splatter, satire, vicarious vengeance, and a twist of sly metacinematic mischief to offer a pointed critique of some of the more questionable aspects of the horror genre and the ways in which fame in an era of toxic social media can prove a truly Faustian bargain. Grimmfest is thrilled to be hosting the regional premiere of a horror movie that refuses to hold its tongue or pull its punches and is guaranteed to ruffle more than a few feathers among the genre’s gatekeepers.
