Move Over, Pennywise — the Murderous Clown in This Underrated Indie Horror Is Even More Hardcore

In recent years, the clown horror sub-genre has been dominated by the creepy faces of Pennywise from It and Art from Terrifier, leaving limited space for even more grotesque clowns to share the platform. Both popular examples capitalize on the common fear of clowns, transforming them from fun to uncanny, helped along by a splatter of blood here and the sounds of screams there. 100 Tears is an indie slasher that plays on these fears in a different way, replacing enduring anxiety with pitiless brutality, making Gurdy the Clown (Jack Amos) one of the most hardcore ones out there.
