I pretty much expected to hate this one. For one, it's a Chemical Burn release and if you know anything about this company than you're most likely aware of their low-quality catalog of uber-schlock, DIY "horror" garbage. They easily make Troma look like Miramax...
A professional clown loses his job after getting rough with a kid at a birthday party and completely snaps - going off on a booze-fueled killing spree. He kills hookers, frat boy assholes who took pleasure in fucking with him as well as other people associated with the negative aspects of his clowning career (boss, angry mom, etc)...
Honestly, for the majority of the runtime I had a pretty enervated attitude toward "Sloppy the Psychotic" - finding it watchable, at best, but nothing all that special when considering the field of digitally shot, micro-budget horror flicks. Then, the end came and it really turned me around... The big finish is a wonderful build-up to a remarkably brutal child massacre that I certainly didn't see coming, especially to the extent they went for. Other than that, I'd still say "Sloppy" is a pretty decent clown slasher, overall, with some other fairly gruesome kill scenes - namely a bloody castration and some frenzied stabbings. This one is worth checking out, especially for the last 20 minutes or so of crazy kid-killing...
