During sex, the woman notices an egg with a face painted on it encased in a glass tube. Stitches explains that "they" made him do it when he signed up. Stitches arrives late at Tom's (Ryan Burke) birthday, and attempts to entertain the children, but they instead ridicule him. Vinny (Gerald Ahern) ties Stitches' shoelaces together, causing him to trip and land on a kitchen knife. Stitches stands up and attempts to attack the children, but instead he slips on his own blood and the knife flies above him. Stitches falls onto the floor as the knife falls onto his eye, killing him. Tom visits Stitches' grave and finds a group of clowns performing a ritual, and the group's leader, The Motley, threatens Tom. Six years later, Tom (Tommy Knight) is preparing for his sixteenth birthday. He is still haunted by the memory of his past birthday, and begins to have frightening hallucinations, such as a teacher turning into a clown and ripping off Vinny's testicles before tying them to a party balloon. Hesitating at the idea of throwing a large party, he considers instead inviting only a few friends. Ultimately, he settles on a large gathering, and Vinny secretly distributes many more invitations over the internet. Tom, Vinny, Richie (Eoghan McQuinn) and Bulger (Thommas Kane Byrne), all of whom had been present when Stitches died, prepare the house. As the guests, including Tom's childhood love Kate (Gemma-Leah Devereux), arrive, Stitches comes back to life and leaves his grave. Tom, startled by Paul dressed as a clown as a cruel joke, injures his head. Bulger takes Tom to find a first-aid kit, and Tom retreats to his treehouse with Kate. There, Tom discusses his memories of the ritual he encountered as a child. Meanwhile, Paul is attacked by Stitches, who rips off his ear and one of his arms and pulls a live rabbit out of his throat before kicking his head off (the head lands in a pond). The clown then finds Bulger, scalps him and removes his brain with an ice cream scooper. Sarah, (Roisin Barron) Paul's girlfriend, enters the attic to look for him. There, she is attacked by Stitches, and manages to fight back. As she escapes, Stitches drives an umbrella through her skull, killing her. Through his telescope, Tom sees Stitches in the house, and goes to warn Vinny of his presence, but is at first unsuccessful, due to Vinny's desire to have sex with a formerly overweight classmate. Tom asks Kate to leave, but her boyfriend Dan (Tommy Cullen) stops her. Outside, Stitches attacks Richie. Richie attempts to flee but trips and falls. Stitches rips out his intestines and fashions them into a balloon animal before stabbing him with a bike pump and inflating him. Stitches manages to pump enough air into Richie to cause his head to explode. Vinny, on discovering Tom to be telling the truth, attempts to leave, but Stitches attacks them. Tom stabs him, Vinny covers him with a blanket, and they escape. Tom and Vinny rescue Kate, but Stitches knocks her unconscious as they attempt to escape. Tom tries to resuscitate her, and Vinny leaves them behind, and Stitches attempts to drown Tom in a sink that Vinny had previously vomited in. Kate awakens and throws a knife at Stitches, while Tom deduces a manner in which to defeat the clown; to kill him, they must destroy the egg he kept in his van. Tom and Kate, pursued by Stitches, make their way to the den in the graveyard. There, Tom searches for Stitches' egg amongst a collection of them. Stitches arrives, and whilst deciding which of the two to kill, Vinny ties his shoelaces together again. He trips, and drops his egg. Tom smashes it, and Stitches explodes in a mixture of magic trick supplies and yolk. Six months later, Tom has moved to a new house, and he and Kate are in his treehouse. Kate, who is now in a relationship with Tom, gives him a new telescope, and his old one is positioned so as to focus on the den in the graveyard. There, The Motley is attempting to piece Stitches' broken egg back together while receiving a blow job. The egg is now fully restored indicating that Stitches will return. After the film cuts to black, Stitches' catchphrase, "Everybody happy?", is heard. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stitches (2012 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
