Plot:
Movie theater owner Aurora Palace (Lacy Marie Meyer) struggles to reopen her business in the wake of a gruesome mass shooting by a killer clown during a screening of the film ‘Joker’s Wild’…
Reviews:
“Jokers Wild is far worse than the average mind can comprehend. The combined acting skills, if distilled into water, couldn’t fill a thimble. Add to that the level of bizarre lines they vomit out and what’s left is something so wooden it could be a third world countries’ production of Pinocchio. This is not hyperbolic talk either, there’s scarcely twenty seconds of cohesive thought.” Horror News
“Lacy Marie Meyer plays the bafflingly named Aurora Palace, and in all honestly she has a good on-screen presence. However, as the film clumsily descends into the gun debate, presumably as a means of justifying its insensitive narrative, this muddled sixty-four minutes (minus credits) of celluloid fails to make the best of a potentially cool location, and becomes something you’d really like to forget you spent time watching.” Dave Wain, The Schlock Pit
“The movie wants to be poignant about gun control, it wants to have something to say, but it can’t be bothered to develop its ideas, and the ideas it does spend time on are more silly and half baked than scary. It’s almost borderline insulting and insensitive to actual survivors, by making their survival some sort of mystical plot, but whatever.” Triskaidekafiles
