Stitches (2012)



It is hard to not express this movie as an "I know what you did last summer" like movie.  The movie opens up with our clown having a little fun with a local trollop then is called to duty.  He arrives to the party and begins to do his best, he is not a very good clown.  The children make his life difficult and he dies.  Tragically...  Always ALWAYS close the dishwasher.  I think you can imagine the rest and you would not be wrong.  But then you might...

This movie is an Irish ghost flick that is fun.  It is gory, it uses old school makeup effects, minor uses of CGI to enhance (not take the stage), blood by the buckets, and even built a small mythos.  Where in the states it would be boobs and butts, nothing wrong with that, there is a sense of humor to this one.  The foul language used by Stitches in his Irish accent is pretty funny.

The ending is the kicker, the mythos is created.  A sequel is set up, but no idea if it has been made.  I enjoyed it for what it was, not serious, but creative.  Enjoy.  Oh yea, the trollop returns.. :-)

You had me at "foul language used by Stitches in his Irish accent". This sounds great!
