Jack (Kevin Mangar) and Katie (Lucy Lewendon) have just moved into
their new house in the country, and they couldn't be happier. Of course,
there's a curse on the house, or rather more precisely on an old
typewriter stored away in one of the cupboards - but Jack and Katie should
be fine as long as they don't tamper with the typewriter. Problem is, Jack
and Katie are totally unaware of this, and when Jack finds the typewriter,
of course he tries it out because - well because that's what anyone would
do really. And that awakens the demon clown Freakish (Chris Shipton), who
soon enough appears pretty much everywhere Jack turns to - but nobody else
can see him, and when he claims he's haunted by a clown, everybody else
thinks he's just drunk. Thing is, the clown soon starts to kill people in
Jack's vicinity rather indisciminately, and it's only a matter of time
until he's onto Jack ...
Now truth to be told, Freakish isn't exactly the
re-invention of the horror genre as such - but in its off-setting its
truly idyllic backdrops against serial killers of the odd kind, it's for
sure quite unsettling, especially to people afraid of clowns. And it's
really the bitter irony that nobody believes someone being attacked by a
clown that makes this film so poignant on one hand but also chilling on
the other - both rather great ingredients for a horror movie!
