Big Top Evil (2019) is a movie that I recently watched on Prime and follows a group of friends who picks up the wrong hitchhiker. A gorgeous blond hitchhiker tells the group of friends about a safe place to stay and a local circus 🎪 they absolutely have to attend. The friends reluctantly visit the circus and almost instantly wish they never did.
This movie is codirected by Sean Haitz (Cannibal Comedian) and Chris Potter (directorial debut) and stars Bill Moseley (Night of the Living Dead), J. LaRose (Saw III), Jisaura Cardinale (Powerpuff Girls: The Long Way Back), Sean Haitz (Mangrove Slasher 2) and Austin Judd (Cannibal Comedian).
This is one of those movies with a $30,000 budget and did the best they could with it. The storyline is straightforward, cliche, not overly imaginative but still entertaining enough to watch unfold. This felt like it was trying to feel like a Rob Zombie movie. I was surprised Bill Mosley was in this and he was definitely the best part of the movie. Candy and Casey were pretty hot and there was some random nudity here and there. While the majority of the film is frustrating, the last 20 minutes was a lot of fun we. If someone told me this is going to be low budget and gave me an entire film like the end, I would have been thoroughly entertained.
Overall, this is an average addition to the horror genre that's worth watching once for horror enthusiasts. I would score this a 5/10 and recommend seeing it once.
