PopHorror Let's Get Scared
There is a place where all your horror dreams come true, it’s called Tubi. Whether you have an issue with free streaming because it’s something you are not interested in. Beyond Shudder and Screambox, there are very few options that really stand out. The new face of B-movies is finding a new definition and love, most instantly becoming cult classics. This is where Super Happy Fun Clown comes from. The film snuck its way into my feed due to popularity; it shines bright in the horror genre. Let’s get into this wild and somewhat “wacky” film.
Synopsis
To escape a life of oppressed obscurity, a battered former wunderkind weaponizes her obsession with clowning, serial killers, and classic movie monsters into a night of shocking infamy. One by one she hunts down everyone that has ever hurt her throughout her past and present.
A Scorned Daughter
Super Happy Fun Clown immediately reached my heart. The campy theme starts right away. There is no boring dialogue. Super Happy Fun Clown was a film I knew I would enjoy just from the trailer alone, and I wasn’t wrong. The film is a gleeful take on killer clowns. What happens if that clown isn’t scary-looking and brutal? Jenny O the Clown happens. A far stretch from Art the Clown in a cutesy style, she never has to say a word to premiere her gory ideas. Everything is classic and still sticks true to that under-the-radar, straight-to-streaming ability. I have lost a lot of hope in modern horror, but certain things stick with me, as long as they’re brutal and amusing. Super Happy Fun Clown has everything I need in a slasher movie.
I can tell you exactly what attracted me. The story seems to be similar to The Simpsons episode where Krusty the Clown was abandoned and annoyed by his father. Though some moments are heart-warming, others make you wish she had taken out her mother right away. Instead, she cuts straight to the most important, such as an abusive stepfather, who lives in front of the TV. The man simply threatens Jenny without saying a word as he piles food into his mean, sinister mouth. All of the characters were useless and expendable to me. There really is no feeling other than empathy for Jenny’s upbringing, which was far from normal. I relate to that aspect, toxic love and verbal abuse.
In The End
Jenny O the Clown is captivating and an advocate for her life through slaughter. The film quickly turns a bit more cheerful when she takes revenge on the worst people in her toxic life. I watched every single second because I didn’t want to miss a single moment as I cheered on her reign of terror. Super Happy Fun Clown edges on the fence from the new “Clown with an attitude problem, but still seems giddy after torturing a human being, or simply pushing a bullet into their head. The film does not quite hit that level of Terruifier love in my heart, but it fights for its spot in my top 10. Even if you don’t like Tubi, put on your big boy pants and deal with a few ads just to see this gem of a film. It won’t hurt that much. You won’t regret the choice at all.
