Summary: many laughs abound as bozos from beyond take over suburbia
Review: I first saw this movie at the ripe old age for 5. I loved it and it became a classic in my heart. Not seeing it for many years, I always remembered it. Recently, it was shown on the Sci-Fi channel and the nostalgia was high.

The movie is about a clown-like race of psycho-aliens who land in the outskirts of a town. They do all they can to capture humans... why? Just rent the movie and see...

Although this movie can be described as a cheesy B-movie, you can tell that a lot of work went into its costumes and production. It will always be one of the best movies money can buy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best clown movie of all time!
Review: This movie is great I first saw this movie when I was 14,when this movie first came and at first I thought this was going to be a dumb movie and when it finished I was pleased with the F/X and I thought this is one of the real sci-fi classics and I hope that this movie will come out on DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: well, it's ....................CREATIVE.
Review: In the tradition of horror movies like Child's Play that make you fear your child hood, comes Killer Klowns From Outer Space. I have devoted my movie watching life to all sorts of horror movies and I was just recently able to catch this movie for the first time on SciFi channel. I thought "Oh god this is gonna be stupid" when I started watching, but then soon found out how creative and brilliant it is. And it had great FX for it's times. This is a true B-horror classic.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Corny, funny, but a hell load of fun...
Review: Sure this film is a bit stupid, but it was never meant to be taken seriously, as it features clowns..er.Klowns. Not too bad F/X and the film has its moments along with a nifty soundtrack at the end of the film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SEQUEL PLEASE!
Review: Anybody who says all the best B-movies came from the fifties obviously hasn't seen this little gem. It really is an admirable piece of film making which is actually very clever and inventive. It is reminiscent in someways of The Blob (50s version)in that a teenage couple witness a "comet" fall from the sky and then spend the movie running around trying to get people to believe them. However, this is far more "tongue in cheek" than most movies in its genre and could almost be passed as a black comedy rather than a horror.

The movie isn't particularly scary, although I do remeber finding it very freaky when I was younger. People who have a phobia of clowns should probably stay away from this movie though, because as the title suggests thay are the stars of the show. It is worth watching for the inventive and amusing ways in which the "Klowns" Kill and cocoon their victims alone. But as it happens the film also has a lot more to offer as well. Try as hard as you can to get hold of this movie because it really is a classic. It took me a couple of years of searching but now i've got it and it was definately worth the effort.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Fatally Funny & Scary Ride Through The Big Top...
Review: It's hard to believe that an innocuous PG-13 B-movie such as the Chiodo Bros. underrated masterpiece "Killer Klowns From Outer Space" could instill a sense of mysterious dread and thrills to an inveterate horror fan like myself. The Klowns definitely break down the redundant slasher film villian barriers that ran rampant during the 80's and give a frighteningly original, yet humorous flair to their evil work that parallels the old alien invasion films of the 50's (right down to the backwoods farmer and his dog and to the overly-skeptical village police). These extraterrestial jokesters are by no means makers of fun merriment, but rather ravenous predators who hoodwink their victims with circus magic and sinister smiles.

The first time I viewed this acclaimed cult classic, John Mussari's ominous circus synth soundtrack, grizzled Officer Mooney (John Vernon) turned into a klown merrionette, and the corrosive cream pie death of the security guard each made a frightful impact on me! Not only that, I developed a short-lived repulsion to cotton candy after seeing the homicidal Klowns in action! Now, that I'm older, wiser, and even more desensitized, I've begun to see "Killer Klowns From Outer Space" as 70% comedy/30% horror since this film does boast some of the most baffoonish dialogue and action I've seen in a B-movie. Mike (Grant Cramer), Officer Mooney, and the hilariously inept Terrenzi Bros. (Peter Licassi & Mike Siegel) give just the right amount of comedic chemistry needed against the story's spooky premise. The Klowns themselves do offer a couple of cheesy chuckles via the duplicitous "child's play" antics they use to capture and expunge the town populace for their own vampiric food supply. And one just cannot get over the elaborately designed circus tent sets, props, and klown costumes! The theme song video feature by The Dickies is also pretty darn cool. All in all, this indelible pic proves that 1988 was a gem year for the horror genre.

I have been fortunate enough to obtain a previously-viewed copy of KKFOS this year after a near-exhaustive search on the Web! I found it through Amazon's zShop site, which may still have some English-version copies left (knowing that this film has become a rare find both in retail and rental). I wish Media Home Entertainment/HVG Video would get off their languid behinds and re-release the Klowns on VHS widescreen or DVD seeing that the Killer Klowns cult is bigger than they probably realize.

Believe it or not, a Klown sequel is in the planning stages according to the Chiodo Bros' official website (as well as a coveted email I received last year from Stephen himself)...so keep on watching the skies for more intergalatic Big Top mayhem and laughs!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Movie and Better Soundtrack!
Review: I have't seen this movie in years but it is awesome! It's so cheesy, but the klowns look awesome, they're so creepy looking! And the best part about the movie is that MR BUNGLE did all the background music.....Mr Bungle is awesome, they have the most weird, creepy, circus music anyone could've eveer written 8)

Rating: 4 stars

Review: The goofiest movie I've ever seen, not counting Eraserhead. Great bad acting. Terrific effects, especially the bus stop scene.
