Clowns were to make people laugh, yet some people fear clowns. And of course, Stephen King didn't help that fear with this novel IT. In 2007 another diabolical clown became something of a nightmare with the film 100 Tears. Now Unearthed Films have released this gory nightmare of a film on Blu-ray.
Synopsis: After being accused of crimes he did not commit, a lonely circus performer Gurdy the Clown exacts his revenge on those who unjustly condemned him. The act sparks something inside of him which he cannot stop and now, years later, his inner-demons have truly surfaced. Part urban legend, part tabloid sensationalism... he is now an unstoppable murderous juggernaut, fueled only by hate.
Not since Stephen King's Pennywise has a clown been more frightening that that of Gurdy. 100 Tears is a gory, violent, blood-filled nightmare of a film. So reall are the effects that it almost turned my stomach a few times. So this could be a hard film to sit through for some people. But 100 Tears is more than just a gore fest, there is a real backstory here. That is a huge plus!
Jack Amos is so creepy as Gurdy the Clown. His performance will haunt your dreams. But let's be honest this is a campy horror splaterfest. Don't go into this expecting a great slasher film like Halloween, you're going to be disappointed. But if you watch this film ready to enjoy the absurdity, you'll have a good time.
Unearthed Films has transferred 100 tears to Blu-ray on 1080p and is presented in 1.77:1 aspect ratio. The audio track is 2.0 PCM English track. There is also the option for English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing.
This is a low budget production so don't expect 4k crystal clarity here. But for a low budget film I was extremely impressed with how good the picture looked. Unearthed Films always put their best foot forward and here with 100 Tears is no different. In addition to a nice-looking transfer there is bonus a nice amount of bonus features on this disc as well!
