Circus Kane Movie Download

4 / 10

Lots of squandered potential…
When I picked up “Circus Kane”, I must admit that I didn’t really have much of any expectations of being in for a massive treat in terms of an entertaining movie. Why? Well, this being a clown horror movie and all, as they have a tendency of being rather bad most of the time.

But still, I decided to give the movie a chance on the offbeat chance that it would actually turn out to be a hidden gem in the horror genre. Well, let’s just state for the record that it wasn’t a gem.

The storyline told in “Circus Kane” was actually fairly adequate, and I must admit that I hadn’t figured out the twist to the plot, so when that was revealed it was a genuine surprise to me. I liked that part of the movie.

It was the execution of the storyline and the whole bringing it to life on the screen that seemed to stagger and not really work well in favor of the movie. I must admit that throughout the entire course of the movie, I sat with a feeling of ‘is this really it?’ And the movie sort of felt flaccid, because while it attempted to achieve a lot, everything in the movie just seemed pointless and random. It was as if they made everything up as they went along, driving without an aim.

The characters in the movie were fair, some of them more detailed than others. But in overall it wasn’t a grand character gallery, especially because most of them didn’t feel like they were properly fleshed out – pardon the pun. I must admit that some of the behavior from some of the characters was just ludicrous and it really dumbed down the entire feel of the movie.

The entire haunted house, circus act, whatever you wish to call it had some interesting enough aspects to it. But again it just felt random and as if the director went without a plot and planned script.

I endured the movie to the end, though it wasn’t a particularly thrilling or overly entertaining experience. And I can honestly say that I am not returning to watch “Circus Kane” a second time.Read More
