Stitches (2012)

By far the most fun i've had watching a movie in a long time. The gore was over the top and the laughs were plenty. Anyone who gives this movie a low rating took it way to seriously. Just watch and enjoy !!!

I am aware that some people might absolutely loathe the horror/comedy hybrid "Stitches" and that's a perfectly reasonable reaction. Is it a great movie? Well, it certainly won't be picking up any Oscars. But as sheer lunacy, I am quite in love with this over-the-top bit of ridiculousness! Filmmaker Conor McMahon displays an ample appreciation for the cheesy splatter-fests of yore. In fact, this seems to be a throw-back to the campy horror films that flooded the video market in the eighties. He takes a supremely silly premise, in this case a murderous clown who has been reanimated from the afterlife, and runs with it. With copious amounts of humorous gore, each retribution killing is staged to be more outlandish than the last. Nothing is real. The effects are comic at best and the mechanics of the deaths are ludicrous (forget logic, anatomy, or basic biology and enjoy), but the movie absolutely revels in its own madness. Some might complain that the film isn't scary enough, but I'll contend that it's just right. I didn't need it to scare me, just entertain me. It is pure unapologetic fun. My head tells me I'm crazy for liking "Stitches," but the heart wants what the demented heart wants!

Comedian Ross Noble plays Stitches The Clown, the worst investment a parent could make for a child's party. We meet this low-rent entertainer as he embarks on a gig for Tommy's eighth birthday. His routine is underwhelming, to say the least, but the kids in attendance are monstrously out-of-control. Things take a dramatic turn when the clown meets his untimely demise. Years later, a teenaged Tommy (Tommy Knight) is still haunted by the memory of that fateful day. Despite his better instincts, he decides to once again host a birthday party in an effort to connect with his unrequited love. As the invitations go out, there is one uninvited guest ready to shake things up. Stitches has a score to settle with the brats that put him in the ground, and the night will become a bloodbath of revenge. In typical slasher fashion, Stitches works his way through the party until the inevitable confrontation will determine who will survive and who won't.

Again, "Stitches" really works as an homage to many films that preceded it. It is fast and funny, and it simply works better than you might think. Noble is appropriately disgusting as Stitches, but it is Knight that gives the movie surprising heart. He and many of the young cast prove to be quite likable. It's rare to connect with the characters in a movie of this type, but the screenplay actually makes you care about what happens to them. But the real star of "Stitches" are the murders. So absurd, it's borderline genius. I won't spoil anything, but the movie is loaded with terrifically gory sight gags. "Stitches" seems designed to become a cult movie that people will discover through time. Many will hate it, I'm sure. But if you like this genre, and can give yourself over to the silliness--there is a lot to recommend this experience. For the right audience, this is tremendous fun. KGHarris, 3/13.

My son liked the movie. He watched it on the plane on our most recent trip. But, he is only 7, so take that for what it is worth.

This Movie will make you burst a lung in laughter. Ross Noble is the best killer clown since Tim Curry in IT.

Funny and extremely brutal, Stitches is perhaps a little too over-the-top at times, but it is a definite must watch for slasher and horror fans. Twisted and gory with a dose of pitch-black humor.
