The clumsy and unfunny clown Richard "Stitches" Grindle entertains at the 10th birthday party of little Tom, but the boy and his friends play a prank with Stitches, tying his shoelaces. Stitches slips, falls and dies. Six years later, Tom gives a birthday party for his friends at home, but Stitches revives to haunt the teenagers and revenge his death.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ross Noble improvised much of Stitches' darkly comic dialogue, blending his stand-up rhythm with genuine menace.
Part of the early 2010s killer clown revival alongside 'It' (2017), but Irish and significantly more unhinged.
