About this movie

It started with a surveillance video uploaded to YouTube, depicting a child sleeping peacefully while a man in a clown mask emerges from underneath her bed. The video's description claims that the clown's name is Wrinkles, that he lives in Florida, and that he's been hired by the child's parents to punish her for misbehaving. After the video went viral, other mysterious videos popped up online. Wrinkles pushing a cart through a parking lot. Waving alongside a busy highway. Holding balloons in front of a suburban home. The unsettling clips launched Wrinkles the Clown to internet infamy. Cryptic stickers with a phone number began to appear on telephone poles and in public restrooms across the state, promising to terrify misbehaving children. Over one million voicemails were left. Follow this eerie real-life character and explore the unpredictable spread of imagination in the Internet Age.

Perfectly awful and not worth the time or effort. I expected to be creeped out by this "documentary " . Instead I was just disappointed and confused. This will NOT give you nightmares. Definitely do not waste your time.

First off, it is more than ABUNDANTLY clear within the first 15 minutes that this is a documentary and NOT a horror film. Don't watch this expecting to be scared, that's not purpose of this movie!! What this sets out to do is explain the social phenomenon surrounding Wrinkles, how it originated, different takes on it, etc., and for the most part this documentary does that very well. There were two things, however, that I could have done without. Without getting into spoilers (not that it really matters, but whatever) : 1. there was a random scene shot in a strip club that just felt like it was there for shock value. 2. the "real" story doesn't start until halfway through the documentary. Once that kicks in, it just makes most of the first half feel, again, completely unnecessary. You'll know what I'm talking about if you see it for yourself. The two problems get one star removed from my score. I liked everything else, though.

The most boring horror movie. Don't waste your time with this one, even if you get it for free. You can't get the time you spent watching it back.
