In the heart of America’s forgotten farmlands, something evil is waiting to laugh last. In Clown in a Cornfield (2025), Kevin Durand stars as the terrifying masked killer haunting a small Midwestern town that’s been torn apart by corruption, secrets, and blood. When a group of college students arrives for what should’ve been a peaceful harvest festival, the celebration turns into a night of unimaginable horror.

The trailer opens with golden fields swaying in the wind, the sound of distant laughter echoing faintly. A voiceover warns: “Some towns die quietly… this one won’t.” Quick flashes follow — scarecrows dangling from poles, a flickering carnival light deep in the corn, and a single red balloon drifting through the mist. As the tension builds, the killer clown emerges from the shadows, his painted grin twisted, wielding a rusted sickle.

Kevin Durand delivers a chilling performance — cold, silent, and methodical — as panic erupts and the survivors are hunted one by one through the endless maze of corn. The trailer’s tension escalates with heavy breathing, flickering lights, and screams cut short by the slicing sound of steel. The visuals are drenched in crimson and amber tones, creating a nightmarish atmosphere straight out of Americana’s darkest corners.
