Watch Clown Motel

Clown Motel is a horror-comedy film released in 2016 directed by Joseph Kelly. The movie was filmed in Tonopah, Nevada, which is famous for its Clown Motel, a real-life creepy motel with clown theme décor. The film features Angie Stevenson as Christine, Casey Hendershot as Mike, and Kelly Love as Jess, who find themselves stranded in the middle of the desert and spend the night in the infamous Clown Motel.

The film starts with a group of friends driving through the desert to attend a music festival, but they encounter car trouble and are forced to seek refuge for the night. The only option they have is the Clown Motel, which is run by a strange and eccentric owner, Bob (played by Joseph Kelly).

As soon as they arrive at the motel, the group begins to feel uneasy, creeped out by the clown dolls and decorations everywhere. The group tries to make the best of their stay, but as the night unfolds, they discover that the hotel is haunted by the spirits of former clowns who were once buried in the nearby cemetery. The motel also attracts some strange and dangerous guests, including a group of bikers and a mysterious woman in a red dress.

The tension builds as the group becomes trapped in the motel, haunted by the ghosts that haunt the building. They try to solve the mysteries of the Clown Motel, including why so many clowns keep appearing and disappearing. As the night wears on, strange occurrences begin to happen, including a room filled with blood and the dolls coming to life. The group realizes that they are in serious danger, and must find a way to survive until the morning.

The three leads give impressive performances in their respective roles, particularly Hendershot and Love, whose characters are more developed than Stevenson's. The film's cinematography is impressive, particularly the desert landscapes and the neon signs of the Clown Motel, which add a haunting and surreal atmosphere to the overall experience. The practical effects and makeup are well done, lending a creepy and realistic feel to the clown appearance.

The movie is not without its shortcomings, however. The pacing in the film can feel slow, with some moments dragging out longer than necessary. Some scenes also feel underdeveloped or lost track of. The film relies on several jump scares, which may not appeal to all viewers. However, the horror-comedy balance is just right, adding levity to the tension, with several moments eliciting laughs alongside the horror.

Overall, Clown Motel is an entertaining film that offers a fresh take on the slasher genre. While it may not reinvent the wheel, it's still a fun and creepy experience that horror fans will enjoy. There's enough humor and scares to keep the audience engaged, and the ending leaves the audience with a satisfying resolution. For viewers who enjoy horror with a hint of humor, Clown Motel is worth a watch.
