What is Clown in a Cornfield about?

“Clown in a Cornfield follows Quinn and her father, who have just moved to the quiet town of Kettle Springs hoping for a fresh start,” the synopsis reads. “Instead, she discovers a fractured community that has fallen on hard times after the treasured Baypen Corn Syrup Factory burned down. As the locals bicker amongst themselves and tensions boil over, a sinister, grinning figure emerges from the cornfields to cleanse the town of its burdens, one bloody victim at a time. Welcome to Kettle Springs. The real fun starts when Frendo the clown comes out to play.”

The cast of the movie includes Katie Douglas (Ginny & Georgia), Aaron Abrams (Hannibal), Carson MacCormac (Shazam!), Will Sasso (Young Sheldon), and Kevin Durand (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes).

Craig co-wrote the script with Carter Blanchard. Prior to Clown in a Cornfield, Craig directed 2010’s Tucker & Dale vs Evil and 2017’s Little Evil.
