Clown Kill, originally released as Lock In, is a 2014 British low-budget horror and slasher film directed by Mark J. Howard, written by Howard and Stephen Greenhalgh and starring Jessica Cunningham. The film is due to be re-released under its new name in early 2017.[2]

Plot

Jenny, an "ambitious, feisty advertising executive" kidnapped by a clown after having her drink spiked in a bar, and is raped. After taking six months off work, she spends the night in the office block and is terrorised by the same clown who raped her.

Production

The film received mainstream attention after its star Jessica Cunningham participated in The Apprentice in late 2016.[3] The media expressed incredulity that Cunningham had been involved in the film.[4][5][6]

Cunningham was six months pregnant when she filmed scenes of being raped, as well as a shower scene in which she appears nude.[7] She additionally had to perform scenes in which she is tied up and has her mouth gagged.[1]

Reception

The film has received mixed reviews.[8]
