Plot

Five carnival workers are kidnapped and held hostage in an abandoned, Hell-like compound where they are forced to participate in a violent game, the goal of which is to survive twelve hours against a gang of sadistic clowns.

Sinekatalog’s take

Carnival workers are trapped in a compound and forced to survive a game run by sadistic clowns. The visuals are grimy and loud, and the dialogue is crude. For hardcore fans of Rob Zombie's brand of violent horror, rather than anyone seeking suspense or story.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
