Well, now it’s official — there’s a website for everything. Including, as it turns out lists and reviews of “Canuxploitation” movies. Yes, Canuxploitation.com gives you everything you need to know on hundreds of B- or C-movies.
Let’s take a look at a made-in-Manitoba masterpiece, shall we? The Clown Murders. A snippet from the review:
From inside the electrified chicken coop, Charlie describes the killer clown, and immediately suspicion turns to each of the four friends. As they are considering who among them might be terrorizing the others, Rosie turns his attention back on the house and happens to see Ollie having sex with Allison through the window. He explodes, and pulls Ollie outside by the collar where he beats him up. When Rosie goes back upstairs the clown appears and begins choking him with the shotgun pressed against his neck. With the four friends at each other’s throats and a killer clown, this movie launches into a whole new direction.
Ollie, by the way, is played by a young John Candy, and the reviewer notes this is probably the only serious role you’ll ever see him in.
The AV Club had a “Films That Time Forgot” feature on this movie, and they’ve thoughtfully included some video, if you want to go check it out.
