Reviews:
” …Clown Motel sits alongside some of the greatest works of art that needed no budget to tell a good story. Adding to such a good story is the significant amount of gore splashing almost every frame, portraying some unique- and funny- ways for someone to be killed at the hands of an angry clown.” Cryptic Rock
