Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

tdrish You have to understand something, and get this straight in your noggin...just because a movie was made doesn't mean that the crew knew what they were doing when they made it. Period! This is the case with 100 Tears, which is so horribly bad and awful, that you have to love or laugh at the fact that at least they tried to make a slasher movie with twice the body count as your average slasher flick. Body count? Over 30, check! The rest of the movie? Overlook the bad lighting, cruddy story line, bad casting, horrible choreography, and endless line of errors with the film, and you're in for a lot of fun! We got a demented clown on the loose, and he likes to go around swinging his giant meat cleaver at various parts of the body. Heads are cut vertically and horizontally in half, guts are spilled, and gallons of blood is shed. Now, you don't have to watch this. Personally, I would question the sanity of any one who would want to sit through this shart of a movie. It should satisfy gorehounds, but that's about it. What doesn't work, however, is the nutty azz investigation with the detectives, and for three reasons. Reason 1: No detective would go after a bloodthirsty clown with a weapon like that. Let the FBI deal with this matter, you just stick with the crime lab. Reason 2: No detective would investigate a crazed clown without a weapon of their choice, which is the case with these goons. So if your expecting a shoot out at the end, you will be disappointed. ( You'll be disappointed by the ending anyway, trust me.) Reason 3: It's barely even an investigation! There's no forensics, nothing! Detectives are so useless, I'd lay them off, at least that way, they would be safe from this lunatic clown that makes IT look like a Disney Jr character. So, if you want to be branded for life, have at it with this goofy horror flick. But, I will say again, don't say you weren't warned about the ending. ( As far as the beginning, you won't have to wait long for the blood to spill.)

Michael_Elliott 100 Tears (2007) ** (out of 4) Two journalist want to break away from their tabloid trash so they decide to start investigating a serial killer. It turns out this killer is a clown who is still seeking vengeance over being accused of a crime he didn't commit. What the journalist don't realize is that there might be someone else helping.100 TEARS has a minor cult following among certain horror fans that want to seek out low-budget movies that have incredibly gory special effects. If you're looking for a Hollywood type of horror film then you'll certainly want to stay away from this thing but if you're looking for a type of film that rarely gets made any more than director Marcus Koch's bloodbath will have you smiling from ear to ear.It should go without saying but the main draw is going to be the special effects, which have people being slaughtered in a variety of ways with all sorts of blood and guts being splashed around. People are chopped in two. Others are decapitated. Some are lucky and only have legs and arms chopped off. Bodies are gloriously mutilated in countless ways here and the practical special effects are certainly a breath of fresh air when you consider that CGI has taken over Hollywood and even direct-to-video material. The effects aren't always believable but it's still fun seeing actual work in front of your eyes. Without question if you're a gore fan then this is a film for you.The story itself isn't all that original but at the same time I liked the fact that they tried to tell a story and didn't just go for all gore. With that said, the film runs about twenty minutes too long so some editing would have helped things. I thought Georgia Chris was good enough in the lead role and Joe Davison adds some nice laughs as well. Jack Amos makes for a good killer and Raine Brown also does her role justice.100 TEARS is a gory, blood and ultra-violent film that fans of such films should enjoy.

Sickcess Like another reviewer pointed out, this style of splatter probably has its roots in Germany, with directors like Andreas Schnaas, Olaf Ittenbach and Timo Rose. Both when it comes to the style of the gore and the way of making a script I would say. The gore is great and they have really tried making a serious plot, but ended up with a plot that is very unrealistic, and to say it plainly, stupid.Let me explain by giving you the basics of the story. It is about two tabloid journalists writing an article about serial killers and trying to track down a serial killer wearing clown make up. So far it sounds OK, right? But the thing is the clown has killed over 160 people over a period of over 20 years, he has done nothing to cover his tracks and it takes the journalists a couple of days to figure out that the killings has always occurred in the vicinity of a circus. By some really lousy detective work they manage to track down the killer in a week or so, which the FBI has tried for 20 years! I would compare this movie to Brian Paulins films, which also are German-style American splatter. They suffer from the same faults of bad story and bad acting, but makes up for it when it comes to the gore. And really, that is what is important here, right? I mean, sure I can enjoy deep relational dramas or clever social commentary, but when I watch a movie like 100 tears, I expect decapitation, torture, blood and guts. Watching a movie like this one for the story would make as much sense as watching a porno for the story. And the gore is great. Loads of blood and intestines throughout the whole movie. And the fx are good too for a low budget movie. But it becomes a little monotonous as the killer almost always uses the huge meat cleaver or whatever the weapon is supposed to be. Also, the soundtrack is most of the times pretty good. The soundtrack includes weird but good music by The voodoo organist and Voltaire, which I would not be able to define the genre of and a dark hardcore song, which also is good. One complaint here is that the movie could have used some more songs, instead of re-using the same over and over again. So, monotony is sadly something that spoils the good parts of this movie a little on several levels. But not that much. When it comes to the soundtrack it's really a very minor complaint.Well, that's my take on it. Turn off your brain for a while and enjoy the gore. And if that isn't your cup of blood, stay away from this one.

BA_Harrison Poltergeist, Clownhouse, IT, Killer Klowns from Outer Space: if there's one thing that horror films have taught us, it's that clowns are not in the least bit funny; they are, in fact, messed up, creepy assed mo'fos harbouring homicidal tendencies.As if further proof was needed, director Marcus Koch presents us with Gurdy (Jack Amos), the grease-painted circus maniac of splatter-fest 100 Tears. This lumbering looney loves nothing more than to attack his victims with his trusty, over-sized meat cleaver, splashing copious amounts of blood across walls, lopping off heads with ease, and spilling guts all over the floor.Following the trail of dismembered bodies left in Gurdy's wake are intrepid tabloid reporters Mark Webb and Jennifer Stevenson (Joe Davison and Georgia Chris), whose keen investigative skills eventually lead them right into the lair of the killer.100 Tears is a rough-around-the-edges, low budget flick featuring a cast of unknowns, whose acting talents range from the fairly reasonable to the totally inept. Likewise, Koch's handling of his material displays varying levels of competence, with some scenes demonstrating a keen sense of style, and others betraying the novice director's lack of experience.The good news is that, although Koch's direction is uneven, the guy sure knows what he is doing when it comes to delivering the gore, and for horror fans who love the red stuff, his film proves to be an unmissable treat. It's the impressive bloody effects (also by Koch) that are the real stars of 100 Tears, and the countless severed heads, spurting arteries, coils of glistening innards, and rivers of blood more than make up for the occasional lull in action and odd spot of iffy dialogue (there are way too many lame scatological quips for my liking!).Throw in a slutty, self harming teen who turns out to be Gurdy's equally homicidal daughter, and a hilarious chase scene involving a sprightly dwarf, and what you have is a delightfully trashy gore-fest that should put a smile on the face of any discerning gore-hound.
