The Grotesque, Surreal Horror Romance That Might Just Be the Most Bonkers Movie To Hit Max This Month
The Last Circus may be a zany and graphic horror about killer clowns, but the surrealist film has some profound themes intermixed with its scares.
Clowns are often people’s worst fears when it comes to watching horror, but this 2010 Spanish thriller presents killer clowns in a way you have never seen them before. Álex de la Iglesia’s Balada Triste de Trompeta, or The Last Circus, is a dark romantic comedy set against Spain’s socio-political turmoil. If this premise sounds strange, it's because it sort of is, but that doesn't mean it doesn't make for an entertaining and wild thrill ride.
