Gacy??.. more like GAYcy

my god was i fooled. shouldve followed the ole' saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover." this movie was absolutely terrible. I was hoping to see a lot of gore and killing and stuff, but instead i saw maggots and mealworms and molestation. This movie made me sick to my stomach.. plus it's suppose to be a horror right?? it's kinda hard when the main character is played by Francis in Pee Wee's Big Adventure... "Hey PeeWee.. guess what today is??? It's myyyyy birthday!" ha... that made me chuckle.. but if ya wanna see a bad ass movie with clowns.. Killer Klowns from Outer Space.. or IT... if you wanna be bulemic, eat a meal and then watch this movie.
