The Forest Clown

On a weekend camping trip, a disparate group of strangers find their escape into the woods turning into a nightmare when a gleefully unhinged clown begins to stalk them through the trees. What starts as campfire banter and flirtatious rivalries quickly devolves into a brutal game of survival, with the killer isolating members of the group using twisted traps and darkly comic taunts. The film leans into slasher thrills while injecting a mischievous sense of humor, turning familiar horror beats into unpredictable, often wickedly funny jolts.

As the body count rises, long-buried secrets and fragile alliances unravel, forcing the survivors to face not only the clown but the sins they’ve been running from. A spin-off of Horror Stories (2024), The Forest Clown riffs on classic genre clichés—outsider paranoia, unreliable allies, and the dangerous comfort of daylight—while delivering slick practical effects, tense sound design, and a cast that can flip from terrified to sardonic in a heartbeat. Equal parts homage and subversion, it’s a ruthless, crowd-pleasing fright ride that makes you laugh, flinch, and wonder who the real monster really is.
