I first saw this in college back in 2001 and thought it was one of the funniest short films I've ever seen.Some people will find this movie funny, others maybe not. You just have to recognize that it's intended to quirky and over the top melodramatic. John Popper does a great job narrating, the sound fx were great, and of course the slideshow/bedtime story approach is an interesting combination. And then of course there's the evil spirits thrown in for good measure.It's barely a ten minute film - take the time and watch it. It's worth it!

OMG This is one of the funniest short movies EVER. I first saw it on IFC's Short Film Colllection a few years back, and I fell in love with it. My sister and I even taped it and we still say quotes from Das Clown like "Then A gust of wind.......". It hasn't been on recently so if anyone knows when it's going to be on leave a message on this website. Anyway It's about a toy maker who has an evil clown doll who kills him, and the policeman,but there's a big surprise at the end ( you're going to be spending the entire 8 minutes wondering. LOL. Every time I think of this movie I laugh inside so yeah it's funny, and ridiculous, and AMAZING AT LIFE.

If you have a fear of clowns, run from this movie! If not, settle back, relax and enjoy - a staple of the Independent Film Channel, Das Clown is very funny. Remember those filmstrips you saw in school? Brown resurrects the art form and with John Popper's homey narration, a cult classic is born.

This slide-show presentation contains no movements or dialogue but there is a super plenty amount of blood. It contains a surprise ending that may take away from the believability of the show, but I am told that all of the facts within it are true. This twenty minute short was able to do what the Puppet Master movies couldn't do with nineteen full feature films. The special effects of this movie are really extra good when you stop and consider how none of it has any motion. It is easy to watch to because it beeps when the slide is supposed to be changed, which is something what was quite useful to me. I will give it several stars (at this point I am undecided as to how many I will give)
