Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
atinder I didn't know what expect from this.I thought it was decent movie, I liked some of the sub plots of it.And they all come together.I liked the start of, when a young couple Drive and there twist and turns in those scenes, which really surprised me at the time.Liked scene with Clown , thought it was so-what creepy but very predicable.The rest of it, I can't remember much, only watched last night, Some parts of the movie are very forgettable.The acting was decent, compare to the last movie I saw.5 our of 10
Peter Grunbaum I rented this for 3 dollars on Google Play. Why? Im a big horror fan but this is just idiotic. I would agree with those reviews here that says the script makes no sense. Fx why would the guy with the glasses be some kind of psycho? What is the connection of the two psychos from the first segment to the laughing man? The plot is a boy tortured a rat when a child and he wants revenge on three of his female classmates for making fun of him. So who are those two psychos from the first segment and what are their connection to the laughing man? Besides that everything is just jumping out of air to connect and suddenly she goes from a building to a truck and stabs the laughing man and then gets out of her trap. I agree with those that say the clown is pretty cool. This segment was a bit like A Stranger Calls. Pretty good actually. Anyway I am all for suspension of disbelief but this movie just does not make much sense.
Nitzan Havoc I've just finished watching Amusement, and I must say I'm a little disappointed. Not because the film was bad, but because it had the potential of being so much better.The beginning is excellent. First the opening credits with pictures from a highschool yearbook, then three separate stories divided "Tarantino" style, each showing the killer in a different disguise so it makes him not so easy to recognize. Also, the killer himself was excellent, his maniacal psychotic laughter and modus operandi were really great. Also, the acting was decent and the soundtrack was good.Other than that? A sad unsuccessful attempt. The screenplay had some very amateur holes in it... In the 2nd story (Tabitha), it was painfully obvious that the "doll" was no doll but a man. In the final part - there was a use of a very annoying cheat we've seen way too many times: the victim manages to wound the killer, then leaves him to recover instead of making sure he doesn't get up. Also, a cell phone with no reception... how many more times are we going to have to see that?! Towards the end - the killer survives an impossible situation. Nearer to the end - another cheat, this time suffered by the killer when his car won't start. And even nearer to the end - the killer leaves his victim with a dangerous knife at her disposal? What gives?!Pity. With the good direction work and the excellent killer, a better story and screenplay were really necessary. All in all - the result is a mediocre film, at best. Watch it if you feel like it, if only for the cool killer. If you don't watch it, you won't really miss a thing.
Paulo Here's the thing,If you give this movie a low rating, you haven't seen more than 90% of the low-budget horror movies that get released these days."Amusement" script is pretty hollow, but the cinematography, the photography, the ambiance and some of the acting make up for the lack of a strong story.There are some good frightening moments, and the tension is there from beginning to end.If you like slashers with some suspense do give it a go.Besides, there's a killer clown in it, and that alone makes it worth the watch.
