Bowie Davidson (Jenna Kanell) has a cult following for her role in an indie horror film, "Killer Clown Killer." She has trouble capitalizing on her role as she gets short-changed on merchandise and convention appearances. Her girlfriend Jessica (Danielle Lyn) gets a major role and leaves town. She is later turned down for another role. She is told to make her own film. While at home feeling sorry for herself, a fan breaks in with a clown mask. She subdues him and then kills him on camera. In order to complete the film she entices others to her lair.
The film uses a lot of flashing sequences, perhaps as a way to show Bowie's confused mind. The film started out good but went downhill when the killing started.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

The Circus just left town
Solid, Unique & Neon!
A struggling actress who only had one hit, with an indie horror slasher involving a clown, gets countless trolls who troll her on the internet, and she gets turned down constantly by auditions. So one night she gets drunk and passes out only to wake up and find out that someone in a clown mask has broken in. Faceless After Dark oozes in its neon style, and is reminiscent of 80s horror. From its quick runtime, to its flashy charm, Faceless After Dark was really fascinating to me. It stars the upcoming Jenna Kanell, of Terrifier and Redfield fame.
She does great in the role, and fades into the character seemingly. She brings a lot of personality and charm to the film, and was the perfect fit. The movie is also great at subverting your expectations. I wasn't expecting some of the routes this movie was going in and i always appreciate when a film does that to me. Where it fails in its cycle. What i mean by that is towards the middle of the movie you get this formula that basically loops for the rest of the movie.
About three events happen and then a kill, and then that loops about 4 more times, and it definitely felt repetitive very quickly. I kinda wish this movie got more creative towards the climax, and maybe switched some things up. But overall i got a decent amount of enjoyment from this little indie horror flick. It's a fun version of a character study, that tells a good story, and is overall good for what it's trying to accomplish. You're definitely gonna get some sort of enjoyment out of this thing, and it's definitely not a movie to skip. Check it out and show it support, it's far from bad.
