“Clowntergeist” (*1/2 out of four)- and how’s that for an original title- was a scareless, silly time-waster being released now to cash in on the success of “It” about a college student (Brittany Belland) with a crippling fear of clowns who has to learn to face her fears when a terrorizing clown (a far cry from Pennywise) is stalking and murdering others in her town. Competent acting is undone by pedestrian filmmaking and storytelling with few scares or thrills. Watch “Killer Klowns From Outer Space” instead.
