Funny Man (1994)
A film by Simon Sprackling
This is an odd little hidden gem of a film. The story is about a man who wins a card game against Christopher Lee, who then gives him his large old house. The man moves into the house with his family and they soon discover a sinister jester who resides there, the Funny Man.
This pesky little guy kills people in different ways; some of them are outrageously gory and over the top and a little bit like The Evil Dead. The joker also speaks in a variety of British accents and takes on different personas, such as a club owner, a footballer, and a few other weird guises.
The film is low budget and very English and may not appeal to overseas audiences; but it's a worthy effort considering its budget. If you want a horror film with comical gory scenes, dark humour, sprinkles of English silliness and something different, check out Funny Man. You might like it.
