Clown Kill (original title "Lock In") is a British Slasher Movie by Mark J. Howard.

Jenny (Jessica Cunningham) is an executive who one night while enjoying herself in a bar, has her drink spiked while she's unaware by a clown, who forces himself on her while she's impaired.

Six months later, Jenny comes back to work but doesn't have the best first day upon her return. She gets harassed by the janitor (Stephen Greenhalgh), has a deadline to meet and the only help she gets is from her fellow female colleague, Sally (Holly Chadwick). She has to work the night shift tonight. And unfortunately for her, the clown who raped her has come back.

The film was released on January 20th, 2014.


Clown Kill contains examples of:

  • Blatant Lies: When Colin and George see Nigel with a bloody face, they ask what happened to him, wherein he tells them about the altercation with the recently-fired janitor and plays himself up to seem even more awesome than what really happened.
  • Blood from the Mouth: The janitor socks Jenny and Nigel so hard, blood spits out of their mouths.
  • Bound and Gagged: Jenny ends up tied to a chair with a gag in her mouth at one point, courtesy of Charlie Boy.
  • Bring My Brown Pants: When George scares Colin, Colin pees his pants, as shown by a shot of one of his shoes with urine coming out of the pant leg.
  • Chairman of the Brawl: When Jenny manages to untie herself from the chair Charlie Boy placed her in, she lifts it up and hits him with it.
  • Destroy the Security Camera: While Colin and George are watching Jenny exercising, the camera screen goes white. When they go into the office gym to investigate, they discover the camera on the floor alongside a paper plate with vanilla on it.
  • Eye Scream: Charlie Boy squirts Colin in the eye with a liquid chemical containing bleach and hydrochloric acid.
    • The janitor then stabs Charlie Boy in the eyes with two big nails.
  • Facial Horror: The janitor has a huge red wrinkled area on his face that seems to be a healed wound.
  • High-Voltage Death: Charlie Boy kills George with a joy buzzer he had plugged into a wall.
  • Hypocrite: The boss. He fires the janitor for sexually harassing Jenny but is revealed to have a woman under his desk about to give him a blowjob.
  • Little Black Dress: Jenny wears one on her first day back to work.
  • Medium Blending: After Jenny escapes from Charlie Boy's party with the corpses of her coworkers, we see a little bit of stop-motion animation of Charlie Boy's doll, Charlie Boy Jr.
  • Modesty Towel: Jenny puts one on after stepping out of the shower.
  • Monster Clown: Charlie Boy, the clown who raped Jenny. He comes back when Jenny returns to work to torture and kill her on the janitor's request.
  • Mummies at the Dinner Table: Charlie Boy killed several bit characters in the movie, like Sally, and arranged their corpses around some tables.
  • Police Are Useless: Taken to a new level in this film. When Nigel tries calling the police about the killer clown, they ask him to clarify that it's a "killer clown", and then hangs up.
  • Shout-Out:
    • When noticing strange things on the CCTV, Colin asks George if he saw Poltergeist.
    • When Charlie Boy finds a discarded hammer, he says "Hammer Time".
  • Shovel Strike: Charlie Boy kills the company boss by hitting him in the head with a shovel. He then hits him more and more until his head bursts.
  • Slashed Throat: Charlie Boy kills Colin by running a blade along his throat. He also did this to a number of characters in the movie.
  • Slipping a Mickey: Happens to Jenny twice in the movie. First in the bar in the prologue, and again during the night shift.
  • Spiteful Spit: Jenny does this to Charlie Boy when she's at his mercy at one point.
  • Time Skip: The movie begins in the bar, and then skips ahead six months after she comes back to work.
