With the talented Eli Craig, known for Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil and Little Evil, at the helm as director, the project has finally come to fruition. The film premiered in theaters last month, receiving a commendable rating of 7/10 from JoBlo‘s own Chris Bumbray, whose detailed review can be accessed at THIS LINK. Following its theatrical debut, Clown in a Cornfield has now been released on VOD, and viewers can find it available for rental on Amazon for $19.99, or they can purchase it outright for $24.99.
The gripping storyline of Clown in a Cornfield follows Quinn and her father as they relocate to the tranquil town of Kettle Springs, in search of a new beginning. However, their aspirations for a peaceful life are quickly shattered when they uncover a divided community grappling with adversity after the beloved Baypen Corn Syrup Factory was destroyed by fire. As the townspeople engage in heated disputes and tensions escalate, a malevolent, grinning figure emerges from the cornfields, intent on eliminating the town’s burdens, one gruesome victim at a time. Welcome to Kettle Springs, where the real chaos begins when Frendo the clown makes his chilling appearance. The screenplay was crafted by Eli Craig alongside Carter Blanchard.
The film features a talented cast, including Katie Douglas from Ginny & Georgia, Carson MacCormac from Shazam!, Aaron Abrams known for Hannibal, Will Sasso from The Three Stooges, and Kevin Durand from Abigail.
