For years, bumbling journalists and bickering couple Jen (Georgia Chris) and Mark (Joe Davison) have made a living mostly making up stories for tabloid magazines, so when a mass murder happens right around the corner from them that's somehow tied into a 20 year long unsolved killing spree, they see their big chance, and soon they pick up clues that the police has so far ignored, like that the killer is most probably wearing clown make up when doing his killings. With that assumption, they soon can pinpoint the killer to a certain circus and learn from one of the circus performers (Norberto Santiago) about Gurdy the clown (Jack Amos), who was deeply in love with a fellow performer (Leslie Crytzer), but who then snapped when he was wronged. The circus folks don't know his present whereabouts, but know he has a daughterk, Christine (Raine Brown), who has been given up for adoption back when. But now Gurdy has picked up her trail, and who knows what he might do to her. So Jen and Mark pick up Christine's trail as well, figuring she might need saving. What they haven't taken into account is that she might be just as insane and homicidal as her dad ...

Now granted, 100 Tears isn't exactly breaking new ground  when it comes to serialkiller cinema, and was probably never intended to, but it's really good at what it does, to tell a stringent story with plenty of surprises, its fair share of suspense and jump scares, and some excellently executed gore effects that are definitely nothing for the weak at heart. Plus, the killer clown at its center is really creepy, and that he's not indestructible only heightens his appeal. What really makes the film though is its lead couple that feel very real in all their bickering and only average heroism, and Georgia Chris and Joe Davison bring just the right chemistry to their roles. So in all, this is really good genre entertainment - but you definitely need to be able to stomach quite some amount of blood and guts.
