Clown in a Cornfield

"Clown in a Cornfield is a horror film that takes the overused trope of killer clowns and pushes it into a refreshing territory: social and political satire. The story follows a teenager who moves with her father to a remote rural town where a tragic syrup factory fire claimed many lives and left many others unemployed. Things take a horrific turn when the factory mascot, a clown named Frendo, comes to life and begins committing brutal murders. More than scares, it’s a film that mocks themes such as generational differences and the political complicity of various societal institutions in the corruption and manipulation of citizens, though not in great depth. Something to keep in mind if you’re expecting a more conventional horror movie."
