Description
Chainsaw Sally star Suzi Lorraine plays a recently released psychiatric hospital patient who heads for an isolated river cottage in order to re-adjust to the outside world, only to be stalked by a psychotic clown with a sick sense of humor. All Laura Wiggington wanted was to be normal again, but after years of living with some of the craziest mental patients ever committed that's a pretty tall order. Thankfully Laura's husband Ray (Tom Stedham) knows just what the doctor ordered - a peaceful getaway far removed from the stress and chaos of the big city. But now Dissecto the clown has arrived at Ray and Laura's cottage in order to perform some seriously sick party tricks, and Laura can't help but wondering if he is in fact for real, or a disturbing delusion conjured by her scarred psyche
