The first reactions are in for new horror movie Clown in a Cornfield after its premiere at SXSW – and viewers are full of praise for the slasher comedy with a twist.

Directed by Tucker & Dale vs. Evil helmer Eli Craig, the movie is based on the novel of the same name by Adam Cesare and made by the same production company behind the Smile franchise. The film follows teenager Quinn (Katie Douglas), who moves to a small town in Missouri after the death of her mother. Their fresh start is disrupted, however, when the town's mascot Frendo the Clown begins to wreak bloody havoc on its residents.

"#ClownInACornfield was fucking spectacular!" tweeted one viewer. "Paving the way for a new generation of slashers! A new era and I’m here for it. A gruesome, wild and chaotic bloodbath! Amazing cast and a premise that will shock people! A huge win for horror fans! Folks are gonna lose their minds!"

They had me at "Tucker & Dale vs. Evil", then "gruesome, wild and chaotic bloodbath".

... and then lost me at "same production company that made the Smile franchise." I'm now certain that this movie and article are nothing but bought hype, seems like the only thing that studio is good at. Shame, because I love Tucker & Dale

I wasn't the biggest fan of the first Smile but Smile 2 was one of my favourite horror movies of last year.
