1983: A group of high school students are having a great time near Hollywood Hills at the weekend when they bump into the Loser from their school, Sam, who’s just on his way home. Sam would do anything in order to get Jenny’s attention, one of prettiest girls in school. Unfortunately she’s also the girlfriend of the school’s bully, Biff, the quarterback of the football team. Biff and his buddies are keen to take Sam to the old abandoned amusement park to make him prove his courage as part of their initiation ceremony. They involve Jenny in their cruel game as the grand prize of the competition.
First off I have to say …”WHAT A CAST!” Tim Curry, Lance Henriksen, Brad Dourif & Michael Winslow all in the same film. That is just genius casting yet somehow with this cast line-up there has not really been any hype surrounding the film, maybe that’s a good thing as I find it’s always good to have low expectations when watching a film but I just can’t help myself get a bit excited at this.
I mean who can’t get at-least a little bit excited at the prospect of Tim Curry playing a scary clown again?! My only problem is the 3D, as I’ve stated before I’m not the biggest fan of the gimmick (Yes it’s a gimmick) but hopefully it will be done right and not spoil what looks to be a great film.
