Killer Klowns from Outer Space

Summary: So Bad It's Good!
Review: If you like your movies with extra cheese then this is just the movie for you. It's probably one of the worst and corniest I've ever seen but that's what makes it so entertaining. Perfect for a rainy Saturday afternoon or if you are in the mood for a light movie with goofy humor. Definiately not Oscar material but then again it was never meant to be.

Summary: Great parody
Review: This movie falls into the cheesy guilty pleasure catagory.
You realize the bad acting and low budget effects should
turn you off, but somehow Killer Klowns with popcorn guns
is simply too much fun to pass up. It starts off with a
old hillbilly(He used to play on the western series Gun
smoke alot) spotting a spaceship and decides to see what's
going on.

He then naturally becomes the movies first victim. The
main characters are two teens Mike and Debbie. The thing
is that despite being two of the main characters they
add nothing to the film at all. The whole show comes from
the Klowns and they're creative and cheesy ways to kill
off the people put them in the cotton candy cacoons.

This movie is more of a comedy than a horror film as
nothing really is believable. But with the cheesy one
liners totally funny klowns make this movie alot of fun
to watch on a late night. Even better if you are totally
wasted. The only boring parts is all the parts without
the klowns. The best part is the scene with the bikers
and the small klown. If you can't laugh at that you have
no sense of humor at all. The scene with Mooney and the
Klown in the jail is pretty good aswell.

One of the best guilty pleasure movies that you will ever
see.

Summary: A B-movie classic!
Review:
In a small town, an odd spaceship that resembles a circus tent has just landed near the town to lure people in. Suddenly two college students investigate it to discover that it's a spaceship and it's aliens are evil bloodsucking vampiric clown-like creatures whom's only intention is to eat the human race.

Very entertaining and different kind of Science Fiction/Horror Comedy flick that has became a cult favorite over the years, but if you can just overlook the bad acting with dopey dialog, you can enjoy the film for it's special effects, realistic if creepy clown creatures and imaginative ideas for kills & weapons that only the red nosed invaders from another planet can do.

The DVD has great picture with great sound, the extras are very nice like a audio commentary by the directors known as the Chiodo Brothers, 5 featurettes, bloopers, 2 deleted scenes with commentary, still gallery, storyboard gallery and Theatrical Trailer.

If you love Sci-fi, horror and comedy with b-movies then this movie is just right for you.

Also recommended: "Lifeforce", " The Blob ( 1958 and 1988)", " Predator", "Predator 2", "Aliens", "Alien", "Alien3", "Alien Resurrection","Alien vs. Predator", "Critters", "Critters 2", " Mars Attacks!", " IT! The Terror from Outer Space", " The Thing ( 1951 and 1982 versions)", " Species", " The Fifth Element", "Starship Troopers", "Total Recall", " War of the Worlds", " Attack of the Killer Tomatoes", "Return of the Killer Tomatoes", " Invasion of the Body Snatchers ( Both versions)", " Invaders from Mars ( Both versions)", " Vampirella", " Planet of the Vampires", "Bad Taste" and "The Deadly Spawn".

Summary: The sequel is coming.
Review: I was researching on the computer two months ago and found out the chiodo emails so I said"what the hell"and I contacted them.

The sequel is about a nasa space ship being shot down out of outer space then these clowns(klowns)land in none other but Cresent Cove.They have come for three reasons.
1)To get more Cotton Candy Blood Juice
2)To seek revenge on the ones that defeated them the last time they landed.
3)To save(rescue)the little buddle of joy they left behind.

Big Red,Little Greeny,Mr.Funkiller,Mr.Cool,Macho Klown,Yellow Mellow Shooter all return.(They took off in another ship.The other was like a decoy to distract the humans.)

And no Klownzilla is not the leader.Big Red is.Do ya'll really think that thing could possibly lead that group of misfits?I don't think so.

I got this information from the Chiodo Brothers themselves in an email.I still have the email too.
Hope this helps.

Summary: Coulrophobics Beware!
Review: A film capitalizing on Coulrophobia, in which a troupe of interstellar clowns descend upon earth within a craft in the shape of a big-top tent, and proceed to encase the resident humans in a small township inside jacaranda cocoons, for future meals. Yes, these clowns are here to consume the vital fluids of earthlings, yet there is no presence of a "cook book" entitled "How To Serve Man", although this presentation may have been partly inspired by that Twilight Zone episode. The only ones privvy to their intentions are "Debbie and Mike", a couple who had witnissed their ghoulish propensities, and go forth to stop them at all costs, yet no-one believes their seemingly wild tale, especially the Police - yet eventually, a deputy joins them in their quest to vanquish the gluttonous bafoons who exhibit all of the characteristics of their trade to the extreme. By utilizing the sheeple's gullibility, they are entranced by their antics, including an impressive hand-shadow display, until captured and preserved, and they do not waste their food.

Particularly remarkable and amusing scenes include a small clown being harassed by a gang of bikers, who then proceed to enact some of his own justice by literally "knocking his block off"; the dispatching of the Police Chief by using the compassionate glamor of his jestery to catch him off guard; four clowns, after emerging from a small car, throwing acid pies at a security guard, reducing him into a globulous pile of ice cream - ulna & radius protruding from the gelatinous mess; a puppet show entertaining a teenager who ends up victim; a blonde attacked in the shower by baby snake-like clownheads, birthed into existence by popcorn seeds.

In the end, after gaining the cooperation of a couple of horny brothers who own an ice cream truck, Mike and the deputy engage in the final showdown within the bigtop craft, scurrying through the mazes within, rescuing Debbie who had been previously captured and contained within a balloon, until they face a clown monster. Suffice it to say, the film has an explosive and colorful finale.

I did like the appearence of the clowns themselves - with exaggerated features, demonic laughter, and pointed predatory teeth. These characters would make for acceptable Halloween Horror costumes.This is indeed a "cult classic", and purposeful B+ Movie fare in My estimation. No blood or gore, but more or less a comic book put to film. Regarding the soundtrack, see The Dickies video which is just about as good as the movie.

Summary: Some fun to be had, but mainly boring.
Review: Killer Klowns is sort of a homage to paranoid sci-fi movies of the 1950's, but lacks the shlock charm of the Blob remake which came out in the same year.

The plot is absolute nonsense. Killer Klowns from, you guessed it, Out Space land in rural America in their big-top spaceship. Their motive, to snatch humans away for dipping in their poisonous cotton candy. Told you it was nonsense, but the movie knows this and doesn't waste any time with sincerity (a fatal flaw with far too many cheapo horror flicks).

The Klowns, in a very weird way, are quite cute. And I wasn't afraid of them. In fact, when they are not on the screen the movie gets rather boring. The main characters are total cliches with no charm. The Klowns however, are very funny (ironic considering I hate them in real life).

As a stupid, but slick, no-brainer Killer Klowns works fine. As the Saturday Night's main event it's best to look elsewhere.

The DVD is in good-looking 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen with Dolby 2.0 sound. There are quite a lot of extras too. For fans of this movie, this DVD is priceless.

Summary: A Greet Low Budget Horror Movie
Review: It plays like a typical late 50's sci-fi film. Teenage couple explores strange falling star. Old man gets to it first, and becomes the first victim of the alien terror. Teenagers try to make the authorities believe them. Eventually, the police come around, but of course, not until after much damage has already been done.

The alien spacecraft resembles a gigantic circus tent. Which is fitting since the aliens are Killer Klowns. These Klowns go on a hunt through a quiet little town, killing people as they find them and preserving their bodies in giant cotton candy cocoons. They use balloon animals, popcorn shooters, and even shadow puppets as weapons of death. The special effects and art design are actually quite good for such a low budget film. And the Klowns have to be one of cheesy science fiction's greatest creations: big, ugly, and grotesque, with wide grinning mouths, sharp teeth, and devilish eyes.

Now it is true that the acting is mediocre, but I felt it actually enhanced the enjoyment of the film. This film deserves the cult following over it has earned.

Summary: cult classic
Review: Classic 80's film that is a must for any collection. This could be the reason so many people are afraid of Clowns.

Enjoy:

Summary: Very funny and inventive
Review: Killer Klowns from Outer Space is very funny and inventive. I watched it Christmas after my sister bought it for me. She said it would be right up my alley, because it looks cheesy. It is! That's what I like about it. The klowns look really creepy. The synopsis is like any aliens come to Earth movie. They come and try to kill all humans, but with a clowny twist. Popcorn guns, cotton candy cocoons, shadow puppet murders. It was great. I liked the creativeness. It's movies like this that are great to watch with friends. Of course this wasn't as funny as the Ring. (If anybody has read my reviews, then they would know my personal vendetta against that film.) The Ring was full of clowns that almost killed me with laughter. I would only buy this to put in my comedy section. Killer Klowns offers some great twists on the run-of-the-mill sci-fi/horror film genre. It is bound to entertain you. Buy this film and be prepared for a great ride through the original Carnival of Carnage.
