If a clown dies before finishing a party, he can never rest in peace... Picking up the popular notion of clowns being scary, Stitches tells the story of the titular clown, who returns from the dead to get the last laugh on the kids responsible for sending him to an early grave years earlier. The script is over-the-top ludicrous, creating a wacky mythology and sprinting with it all the way to the finish, with endless gags and punch lines served up every other minute. This good old-fashioned splatstick slasher is home to some of the most diabolically brilliant kill scenes to hit the screen in years, with such a rigorous sense of care and detail put into them that the smile on your face will be likely to have you looking a little clown-like yourself.
