Holy disappointment. I thought that this movie was going to be creepy as hell. Especially the damn clown and tree parts that made me lose massive amounts of sleep when I was younger. However, this was another shining example of how the crazy abilities of special effects that exist today do not necessarily translate into making movies scarier. The simpler way of showing things way back when made the original scary as hell. Like lose sleep kind of scary. This one had zero effect on me like that.
I wouldn't really recommend people rushing to check this out. It's very disappointing. It's very rushed. And it's all about the effects instead of the slow build of fear and then the real scares.
