The Worst Movies of 2025 So Far

When Will F1 Get Its Digital & Streaming Release Date?

I walked into Clown in a Cornfield hoping for the same mischievous energy that director Eli Craig poured into Tucker & Dale vs. Evil. What I got was that and more with a fast, funny, and genuinely tense slasher that treats its clown gimmick as a springboard rather than a crutch.

Right from the opening shot of cornstalks rustling under the moon during a teen party in the 90s, Craig announces that the ride will be playful, but he never forgets to keep the blade sharp.

The story picks up as Quinn Maybrook and her dad arrive in Kettle Springs, a town half‑frozen in nostalgia after its corn‑syrup factory went up in smoke. Adults pine for “the good old days,” teens livestream pranks and count the days until they can bail.

“You can feel that resentment humming under every friendly wave, and Craig uses it to wind the tension like a spitfire carnival barker cranking a jack‑in‑the‑box.

That culture clash is the movie’s real fuel, and Craig stages it like a county‑fair tug‑of‑war where both sides keep slipping in the mud. It’s lean storytelling and no scene overstays its welcome, and every grumble between generations tightens the coil before things explode.

Enter Frendo, the factory’s grinning clown mascot, now stalking the fields and a mission to trim the “rotten crop” of kids before the town rots for good.

Each kill arrives with punch‑line timing followed by a grim sting, as if the movie winks at you right before shoving you off the hayride. Craig lets the kills hit hard without wallowing in them.

The film nods to late‑’70s through ’90s slashers and while it’s self‑aware, it never feels like karaoke. Instead, it treats the genre’s greatest hits as a playlist to remix.

What surprised me most was the heart beating beneath the splatter. Quinn (Katie Douglas) is a teen exhausted by adults who talk without listening.

Carson MacCormac, Aaron Abrams, Will Sasso, and Kevin Durand round out a cast that feels authentically small‑town, tossing barbs one minute and clinging to each other the next.

The comedy lands because it’s rooted in frustration we all recognize, teen culture versus parental “make America small again” panic.

Is the movie reinventing the the horror slaher film circus? Not really, but it’s a riot watching a film that does a great job juggling carnage, commentary, and blood‑soaked camp, and genuine suspense without overstaying their welcome.

Clown in a Cornfield begs to be seen with a rowdy crowd, the kind that laughs at one kill and groans at the next. If you’ve been waiting for a slasher that remembers to have fun without skimping on story, step right up!
