Terrible movie but also great space killer clowns what more can u ask for very interesting
... View MoreBut I shouldn't have ignored it. Those who have given it a low score perhaps don't really get it. It has everything: Killer Klowns (from outer space), lots of clown jokes, colourful sets, low budget, bad acting, outrageously obvious and stupid dialogue, and even some really bad overdubbing that doesn't match the visuals (e.g.: the store keeper). However, the world would be a very dull place indeed if it wasn't for movies like this. I've watched huge budget movies that I felt like walking out of (eg: Mad Max Fury Road, which I'll never watch ever again), but I never felt that way with this movie. One thing I will draw attention to as an extra plus is the special effects; long before CGI could be done on the budget of this movie, this has some good (for their time) effects. For that I give it a couple of extra points.
... View MoreI was really prepared to trash this film and while Killer Klowns From Outer Space is hardly Citizen Kane it's actually a pretty fair satire of these science fiction films so popular in the 50s about alien invasion.A spaceship lands and it looks like a circus tent. The aliens landing look like circus clowns and their weapons look like burlesque type weapons. They start reeking havoc on the nearby small town before anyone really notices.The purpose it looks like was to replenish the food supply as they zap humans and kill them with the bodies stored for preservation in these cocoons made out of a cotton candy like substance. They must have seen and memorized the Kelvin cookbook on how to serve man.John Allen Nelson and girlfriend Suzanne Snyder are the first to discover them and live and they go to Deputy Sheriff Grant Cramer who is Snyder's former boyfriend for help. Later on they rope in these two ding-a-lings who have an ice cream truck the Tirenzi Brothers. These two make Bill and Ted look as sophisticated as Noel Coward.Royal Dano as a farmer and John Vernon as another sheriff's deputy have roles that you can see these two are enjoying overacting to the hilt. Their encounter with the clowns end badly, but are funny as all get out.Killer Klowns From Outer Space has a dopey infectious charm to it just like the Bill&Ted films. I don't think one can help but like it.
... View MoreI honestly can't fathom all these stellar reviews, especially considering the potential charms of actually enjoyable B-Movies (i.e. Miami Connection, No Retreat No Surrender).This film is utterly boring and didn't make me laugh once within the first 40 minutes (I stopped it after that). A total waste of time.I find it impossible that only a quarter of the written reviews here are poor ratings. Here's mine. Hope I saved at least one person some time.Now onward, in my search for better B-Movies.
