Not sure what the folks giving the really low reviews were expecting, but for me, this was a genuinely creepy, edge-of-your-seat, horror flick. I tend to like a bit of gore with my horror, of which this has none, but I was, nonetheless, kept interested throughout the film, always wondering what might happen next. If you have a fear of clowns, this isn't going to help you get over it. The film does really well with subtle scares. No clichéd cat-jumping-out-of-a-closet stuff, nor does it need a scary musical score to clue you that it's supposed to be scary. Some might have difficulty handling the hand-held camera viewpoint, but if that doesn't bother you, and you are a fan of the 'found footage' genre, this is worth a look.
