Review Clown in a Cornfield (2025) Review – Frendo Makes a Bloody Comeback in This Sharp, Small-Town Slasher
Sunday 11th May 2025
Clown in a Cornfield (2025) is a sharp, modern slasher based on Adam Cesare’s novel, delivering bloody thrills with a smart undercurrent of social commentary. Set in the tense small town of Kettle Springs, it follows Quinn Maybrook as she’s pulled into a deadly spiral of violence involving a killer dressed as the town’s old mascot, Frendo the Clown. With strong performances-especially from Katie Douglas-and direction by Eli Craig that blends horror and satire, the film balances scares and substance. It’s fast-paced, grounded in character, and sets itself up perfectly for a potential sequel without cheap tricks. A standout on Shudder’s 2025 slate. [Read More]
