Generally speaking, the words "Mischa Barton horror movie" send me running the other way but for whatever reason, I clicked play on the trailer for Tom Nagel's The Toybox and I must admit, I may have judged Barton too soon.
The movie follows an estranged family who takes a family trip to the desert in their Rv. It's supposed to be a bonding trip to get everyone back into talking terms but when they find themselves stranded in the desert, they "soon learn their Rv holds terrible, haunting secrets."
In addition to Barton, the movie also stars Jeff Denton and a nearly unrecognizable Denise Richards.

The first teaser trailer for The Toybox has emerged from the desert. This is the latest horror film from director Tom Nagel (Clowntown, 2017).

What really baffles me about being a critic is indecision. I think when a film is really good, it deserves praise. When a film is really bad, it deserves to be pointed out. But when a film lands in the middle, in the “I’m just not sure how to handle it,” it really bothers me.
Clowntown is the collaboration of first-time feature length director Tom Nagel and Axe Giant: Wrath of Paul Bunyan writer Jeff Miller. This pairing of minds might result in a rather interesting experience, especially when “Bunyan” writer Miller is concerned. I saw “Bunyan” and happened to find it hilarious. So going into this film, I think I had different expectation that the result I got was.
I envisioned with a name like Clowntown a visceral sort of Krampus film that will end up making me laugh and creep me out at the same time.

A group of friends encounter a community of psychopaths in ClownTown, and with ITN Distribution releasing the film in theaters today, and on VOD & DVD October 4th, we had a chance to catch up with director Tom Nagel for our latest Q&A feature.
Thanks for taking the time to answer some questions for us, Tom. Coulrophobia—the fear of clowns—is something that a lot of people can relate to. How did you and your creative team set out to portray clowns in your film and make them as scary as possible?
Tom Nagel: In ClownTown, my vision of the clowns was to be something different from what most people are accustomed to. We wanted to come up with something fresh and different, but something that still satisfied the fear of clowns. While we were conceptualizing with the effects team, I guided them to design our clowns to...

For those who suffer from fear of clowns, you might want to turn away now because this exclusive clip from the horror film “ClownTown” will give you nightmares for the rest of your life.
Directed by Tom Nagel, making his feature film directorial debut, and written by Jeff Miller, the movie is loosely inspired by the costumed men who terrorized Bakersfield, CA in 2014. Starring Brian Nagel, Lauren Elise, Andrew Staton, Katie Keene and Jeff Denton, “ClownTown” centers around a group of friends who get stranded in a seemingly abandoned town and find themselves being stalked by a gang of violent psychopaths dressed as clowns.

You can always assume a horror movie’s quality based on how many cardinal genre sins are broken before the credits roll. Tom Nagel’s ClownTown has no trouble racking up the offenses in this particular case, especially because a good eight minutes pass before any title flashes. In that time, a lonely babysitter ignores obvious warning signs, gets naked on camera for no added reason (only two minutes in) and dies a generic, horrid death – three strikes in record time. Sadly, it never gets much better from there, as a town is seemingly taken over by psychotic clowns who rule by Marshall law – because why the hell not? It’s a little The Devil’s Rejects, a bit Psycho and unfortunately way too much of Rob Zombie’s 31. Talk about bad timing…

Tagline: "They'll Rip Out Your Funny Bone." Clourophobics beware! A new horror film, ClownTown, is coming out soon. Already completed, Steel House Productions has released a full length trailer, for this chilling feature. The clip shows several friends, stranded in a remote town. Only psychopathic clowns reside here. The film, from director Tom Nagel and scriptwriter Jeff Miller, stars: Lauren Elise, Brian Nagel, Andrew Station, Katie Keene and Jeff Denton. The official trailer is available below. At first look, the plot for ClownTown is sparse. A one line synopsis reveals very little. The trailer also offers few explanations. Though, a voice-over narration states: "clowns are like that - like a pack of dogs" and "ghosts haunted this town for years." These ghosts are set to square off against four defenceless friends, in this mysterious feature. As well, the film's first poster is hosted here. The graphic shows many of the villains.

Say, you know what would have made the Tommy Lee Jones disaster movie Volcano better? Lava zombies and cult icon Danny Trejo, if Rene Perez’s undead disaster movie is anything to go by. When a simmering volcano blows its top in small-town America, the locals have more to worry about than simple immolation – the emergence of a horde of long-buried zombies from within adding considerably to their woes.
A small band of survivors hustle together to escape both the perils of the lava and the zombies, hunkering down in a woodland cabin, where the crinkly old resident within is undergoing some serious social media withdrawal symptoms.
