Stitches
Stars: Tommy Knight, Ross Noble, Gemma-Leah Devereux, Eoghan McQuinn, Lorna Dempsey, Valerie Spelman | Written by Conor McMahon, David O’Brien | Directed by Conor McMahon
Ross Noble has always been entertaining to me, but he’s not a comedian with universal appeal. But enough about his standup, how successful is both Noble himself, and Stitches as a whole? As it turns out, it’s not bad. I was reminded a few times of the 1994 oddity Funny Man where a cheeky supernatural killer dispatches people in various horrific and outrageous ways. And that’s what’s on offer here. After accidentally meeting a grizzly demise during a children’s party, Stitches returns to get his bloody revenge on the pesky kids (now teenagers) who were responsible. And each one is picked off in increasingly gory ways.
The effects aren’t stellar. The film’s low budget and you can tell. But...

Ross Noble was a pretty constant presence at FrightFest the 13th. He took the stage for an impromptu stand-up intro routine before the event organisers even appeared, was frequently seen milling around in the foyer, and in particular introduced his big screen debut as psychopathic revenging clown Stitches. Noble’s intros were always entertaining to me, but he’s not a comedian with universal appeal and some audience members weren’t as amused.
