"It's gonna hurt."

100 Tears is a 2007 darkly comedic Slasher Movie.

Two tabloid reporters are desperate for a big story, and decide to do an exposè on serial killers. They decide to start with a local murderer called the "Teardrop Killer." They get some good information, including the fact that he's a clown, but eventually the Teardrop Killer comes after them.


This film contains examples of:

  • BFS: The Teardrop Killer owns a meat cleaver twice the size of his head.
  • Big Bad: Gurdy the Clown, the homicidal Monster Clown known as the Teardrop Killer.
  • Calling Card: The "Teardrop Killer" gets his nickname because he paints a teardrop in blood at each crime scene.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: All of them.
    • The guy who gets his face sliced into four sections.
    • The realtor gets gutted with an electric saw.
    • The male tenant who gets disemboweled through his groin.
  • For the Evulz: The killer doesn't seem to have much of a motive, outside of enjoying the suffering he causes. This is made apparent through his expressions while committing his massacres.
  • Gorn: Just to be clear, this movie earned an NC-17 rating just for its violence alone. It has a worse rating than any movie in the Saw franchise. Think about that...
  • Groin Attack: One of the male tenants runs into the Teardrop Killer, who strikes him between his legs with the blade of a large meat cleaver.
  • Kick the Dog: The Teardrop Killer decapitating a girl in a wheelchair and pushing her chair down the stairs.
  • Monster Clown: Gurdy, the teardrop killer
  • Off with His Head!: At least three people lose their heads to the killer's cleaver.
  • Silent Antagonist: The events that turned him evil, seemed to have also rendered the killer mute.
  • Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: The Teardrop Killer is revealed to be a circus clown who was falsely accused of rape, beaten senseless, murdered everyone responsible and made into a bloodthirsty killer by the events. He follows his old circus around, longing for the old days.
