Well that was a cess pool. A copycat of Saw (more like a weak sequel), tons of logical errors, absolutely incomprehensible and deranged character actions. If I hadn't at least been a little tense during the clown scene, a definite "boo!"

While watching this film I honestly thought that I should wait for the subtitles, because I felt that I was missing something. In the end, it’s not complicated at all, but looking back, some situations feel very contrived (they felt like that the first time, but I thought I wasn’t getting something), and the characters behave so stupidly at times that the film doesn’t even try to hide it (which actually confused me). Otherwise, there are some interesting ideas here and there (the visually attractive trap between glass walls), and the cinematography and direction also help. Anyway, as I’ve said, there are moments when the stupidity can’t be ignored and I’m giving it an average three stars because of that (but some day I will give it another chance with subtitles, just to be sure). Another good thing in Amusement are the pretty nice (B-movie scary) atmospheric scenes and the generous use of horror properties (giant clown!!!). Verdict: I liked it, with reservations.
