In a peaceful small town in Shellmont County, a woman and her son are
found dead, her husband Andrew next to them, totally out of his mind - and
naturally he's the first and obvious suspect ... until his mistress
confirms his alibi. And soon more murders happen, all done by a madman in
a weird clown mask. Local Sheriff Billy and Deputy Donnie are hot on the
killers trail - or as hot as they can be, as this killing spree is clearly
going over the heads of this small town cops. But rather by accident than
by design, Donnie eventually shows up at the scene of a crime to catch the
Shellmont Slasher red-handed - and is shot dead by the perpetrator. Things
are starting to change when the Sheriff's girlfriend Sheryl survives an
encounter with the killer, and he later runs across Andrew, husband and
father of the first victims. Things change alright, but maybe not for the
better ... While the film doesn't start particularly promising
- just your usual mix of slasher and police procedural - it really picks
up steam the longer it goes, not only by building up strong characters but
also by digging deep into their psyches until it finds some really dark
recesses in all of them during the finale that's anything but typical for
a movie of its kind. Now add to this strong performances by the entire
ensemble, and violence and shocks in all the right places, and you've got
yourself a pretty powerful movie.
