Amusement

• A traumatized woman is questioned by a cop and a psychiatrist about three stories involving a clown, a hotel and a convoy, that involve her and two of her female friends from childhood. The normally arty Picturehouse must have realized you can't expect to stay in business for long by offering thoughtful looks at Bettie Page, Jackson Pollock, etc. So they have opted to enter the world of slasher films, and they rounded up an inexpensive group of relatively unknown (but kinda familiar, if you want a lot of TV and/or bad indie films) faces, and sent them off to Bulgaria for a cheapie horror flick. Sure, it will fade fast from the box office charts, but those DVD monies add up quickly. Kudos to writer Jake Wade Wall, who has become the genre's go-to man.
