Clown in a Cornfield 2025

Directed by Eli Craig and based on the Bram Stoker Award-winning novel by Adam Cesare, Clown in a Cornfield (2025) follows Quinn Maybrook, who moves with her father to the fading town of Kettle Springs seeking a fresh start. The town is deeply fractured following the closure of its corn syrup factory, creating a bitter divide between the traditionalist older generation and the progressive youth. This tension turns deadly during a massive party in the cornfields when Frendo the Clown—the town’s former mascot—re-emerges as a masked killer. Quinn and a small group of teenagers must fight for their lives as they discover that the "cleansing" of the town is part of a much larger, more coordinated conspiracy by the town’s elders to "fix" their community by eliminating its troublesome youth. The film features a cast led by Katie Douglas (known for Ginny & Georgia) as the resourceful Quinn Maybrook. She is joined by Aaron Abrams as her father, Dr. Glenn Maybrook, and Carson MacCormac as Cole Hill, the son of the town’s influential mayor. The supporting cast includes Kevin Durand as Mayor Arthur Hill, Will Sasso as Sheriff Dunne, and Vincent Muller as Rust. Other notable cast members portraying the town's youth and residents include Verity Marks, Cassandra Potenza, Ayo Solanke, and Alexandre Martin Deakin. In terms of box office performance, the film was a significant success for its independent distributors, scoring the biggest opening weekend in IFC Films history with a North American debut of approximately $3.6 million. Produced on a modest budget of less than $1 million, it eventually grossed over $7.2 million domestically and nearly $6.6 million internationally, bringing its total worldwide box office haul to approximately $13.8 million. The film's financial success was bolstered by a "Certified Fresh" critical reception following its premiere at South by Southwest (SXSW) in March 2025.For worldwide streaming, the film is primarily available through Shudder and AMC+, as it was co-distributed by RLJE Films and Shudder. In the United States and Canada, it transitioned to these streaming platforms following its theatrical window in mid-2025. Internationally, streaming rights vary by region: it is available on Shudder in the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, while in other territories like Germany and France, digital availability is managed through local partners such as Constantin Film and SND.
