Faceless After Dark
20 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
After starring in a killer clown horror flick, Bowie (Jenna Kanell, Tara from another killer clown movie, Terrifier and Terrifier 2) is held hostage by an unhinged fan posing as the slasher that she survived in her movie, which has now become her life.

Directed by Raymond Wood and written by Todd Jacobs and Jenna Kanell, Faceless After Dark starts with Bowie stuck working conventions and doing Cameos, barely holding on to any fame that she may have had. Meanwhile, her girlfriend Jessica (Danielle Lyn) is really enjoying getting to star in a superhero movie. It gets so bad that fans ask Bowie to take photos of themselves with Jessica, which really gets at her.

The man in the clown mask (Max Calder) has, however, found the wrong final girl for the movie in his head. Bowie has had it with her place in the world and is way more dangerous than the character she played on screen. After killing off one fan, she feels something she hasn't felt in some time. Some level of control. Some level of being alive. And that clown won't be the last. Bowie begins to invite all of the worst comments on her social media to Jessica's house and then kills them, one by one, all while neon colors play on the screen and blood sprays.

Is it a home invasion movie if you invite them into the house?

You're either going to see this as a cathartic blast of getting back at horrible people or an entitled woman who just can't get it together. I'm on the former side of the argument, but I can see some loving this and some just hating every minute.

That said, Kanell is great and the movie looks absolutely gorgeous.
