Plot
Five carnival workers are kidnapped and held hostage in an abandoned, hellish compound where they are forced to participate in a violent game, the goal of which is to survive twelve hours against a gang of sadistic clowns. 
What I Think
We are taking a ride in a camper with five Carnies on their way to a new town. They are having a conversation about their future plans and getting stoned. Did I mention that it is the 1970's?

This small gang ends up stopping at a creepy gas station where they meet an equally creepy and dirty old man who could pass for the poster boy of the anti #MeToo movement. Shortly after leaving the gas station they come across a few scarecrows in the middle of the road making it impassable. They attempt to move the scarecrows from the road only to be jumped, stabbed, and abducted. This is when the tone of the movie changes.

This film has all the hallmarks of a Rob Zombie Movie in that there is plenty of profanity, blood, and gore. This film has it all, demented murderous clowns, Nazi dwarfs, Torture, gratuitous chainsaw kills, sexual assault, and of course graphic sex. The only thing that really bothered me is that fact that the Nazi Dwarf spoke Spanish which was pretty funny.
 
The actual meat of the movie revolves around a game that is put together by 3 ego maniacal British cohorts. Our group of Carnies is tasked to make it out of a maze where they are being attacked and killed one at a time and are constantly being harassed by their future killers.
After 12 hours the game is over and whoever lives gets to leave. Will they survive?

Loved the premise, the blood, the gore, and the flow of the movie. If you are squeamish around blood, profanity, or sexual content then this may be a hard pass.

I give 31 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ of 5 stars.
