Sloppy the Psychotic

Having watched (and reviewed) Deadly Detour last year, I was pleasantly surprised by Sloppy the Clown, Maniac Films latest offering.

Magnitudes better than their first film, Sloppy is pretty good stuff, engaging the audiences on several levels. Initial portrayals of Mike's humanity, his struggles against both alcoholism and unemployment giving the character a depth unseen in many films. Like Popeye takes his spinach, people need to watch out when Sloppy gets his drink on- a bottle of booze and a bad day are all it takes to turn Sloppy into a rampaging killing machine, his maniacal nature matched by a certain vindictive creative streak in the many ways he finishes off his victims.

Good sound, good dialog, good acting, good fun, Sloppy slows down from time to time with car scenes and some prolonged sequences, but overall, Sloppy blew away my expectations for the film. This is one psycho clown that knows how to party.
