New Record Breaking Horror Movie's Box Office Proves An Undeniable Truth About The Genre

Clown in a Cornfield's success at the box office is a good reminder of an undeniable truth about the horror genre. The IFC-produced horror film is a throwback slasher, focusing on a group of teenagers trying to survive the night while being chased by a mysterious killer in a clown mask. The film's self-aware sense of humor doesn't derail the more intense scares or the strong character work, ensuring that the film retains a solid balance of scares, laughs, and romance.
