If you missed Clown in the Cornfield in theaters — which earned IFC its biggest opening weekend ever with $3.6 million last month — it’s now available on VOD for rent ($19.99) or purchase ($24.99).
Based on Adam Cesare‘s 2020 novel of the same name, the slasher film 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, “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.”
Cesare is currently working on the fourth novel in the Clown in a Cornfield series.
