Clowns. They’re a divisive bunch. Whether you shriek with delight at the sight of the balloon-animal artistes or scream in fear when they start piling out of their impossibly small car, there is no doubt that these painted-face performers make for an excellent horror movie villain. In fact, filmmaker Eli Craig is counting on it. Filmed in Manitoba with an all-Canadian cast, Clown in a Cornfield delivers exactly what it promises and so much more.

Evil clowns are back, baby! After the success of Terrifier, Hollywood is gearing up for more killer clowns. Based on Adam Cesare’s popular YA series (three books published and just waiting for sequels), Clown in a Cornfield hit a sweet spot with readers looking for throwback horror similar to R.L. Stine’s Fear Street books and Christopher Pike’s novels. In this case, a new kid moves to a small town where something doesn’t feel right. Terror ensues.

While some film sequels seem completely superfluous, like Weekend at Bernie’s and The NeverEnding Story, a second stab at the world of 2018’s A Simple Favor makes a certain degree of sense. The intriguing world of martinis, moms, and murder lends itself to new mysteries and even more high heels. While Another Simple Favor deserves snaps for the clever title, it does not fully live up to the charm of the original. This one begins much the same as the previous film.

That Shelf sat down with Julia Louis-Dreyfus to discuss her role in the MCU’s latest high-octane action movie, Thunderbolts*. The film sees Louis-Dreyfus return to the role of Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, a morally devious CIA director being impeached for her nefarious off-book directives. It’s clear the former Seinfeld and Veep star is having a blast in the role so we were excited to sit down and discuss what makes the character tick.
