Bloody Disgusting has learned that a new trailer for Clown in a Cornfield will be exhibited exclusively before Flying Lotus‘ Ash when it hits theaters this Friday, March 21.
Based on the 2020 novel of the same name by Adam Cesare, Clown in a Cornfield opens on May 9 from RLJE Films and Shudder.
Produced by Temple Hill Entertainment (Smile, Twilight), the slasher is directed by Eli Craig (Tucker and Dale vs Evil) from a script he co-wrote with Carter Blanchard.
Quinn and her father have just moved to the quiet town of Kettle Springs hoping for a fresh start. Instead, she discovers a fractured community that has fallen on hard times after the treasured Baypen Corn Syrup Factory burned down.
As the locals bicker amongst themselves and tensions boil over, a sinister, grinning figure emerges from the cornfields to cleanse the town of its burdens, one bloody victim at a time. Welcome to Kettle Springs. The real fun starts when Frendo the clown comes out to play.
Katie Douglas (“Ginny & Georgia”), Carson MacCormac (Shazam), Aaron Abrams (“Hannibal”), Will Sasso (“Mad TV”), and Kevin Durand (Abigail) star.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review out of SXSW, “What begins as a straightforward slasher deftly shifts gears, tackling heady topics with infectious snark and bloodletting. It’s a rare film that speaks directly to its teen audience while refusing to water down the horror; Clown in a Cornfield knows its demographic is resilient enough to handle the terror just fine.”
