.com What's completely and utterly baffling about Killer Klowns is not the plot--that's rather tidily summed up by the title--but the fact that it got made at all. According to the filmmakers, (the Chiodo brothers: Charles, Edward, and Stephen) all it took to convince the studio was a one-page treatment and a picture of a clown holding a gun. It boggles the mind. Anyway, some killer Klowns descend from outer space and start wrapping their hapless victims in cotton candy for later consumption. Debbie and Mike suspect something's amiss, but who will believe them? The movie's greatest asset is its willingness to play on the inherent creepiness of clowns. The Klowns are grotesque parodies of their big-top cousins, hiding hideous malformed teeth behind terrifying circus makeup. It's impossible to tell if Killer Klowns is truly meant to be scary, but it is compelling in its thoroughness: popcorn, balloon animals, and really big shoes are all used to their fullest effect. The only cast member you'll recognize immediately is veteran character actor John Vernon as Officer Mooney, but keep an eye out for Christopher Titus in a small role as Bob McReed. Then just sit back and stare open-mouthed in bewildered joy. --Ali Davis

Great movie
I had never seen this when it first came out so we bought it on Prime to watch. Honestly, I thought it was more funny than scary. I can see why people love the movie though. Cult classic!

A Killer Cult Classic
This movie stinks, but in the best way possible. It's enjoyable to watch with friends and feel creeped out yet cozy at the same time. I like it because it's able to be enjoyed by a wide audience that may not normally enjoy modern horror films that are just generally too much or too violent. This is almost like a comic-book feel and just so whimsical and strangely lovable and welcoming. I wish I watched this DECADES ago. I have seen it's cover and passed it up figuring it was like most low budget horror and just horrid-- but BOY, was I wrong. This is a cult classic. PERIOD.

Killer, Yet Campy B-Rated Horror
If anyone tells you that this movie is a scary, or even a grammy winning event, then you've definitely been "clowned" (Sorry for the corny joke...just couldn't help myself on that one). In fact, I'll never forget the weird look my friends gave me when I brought this film over for all of us to watch. But once it got started, none of them could stop laughing.The movie starts off with your typical, big-haired, tight jean wearing 80s couple lying in their town's local "lover's peak," when a shooting star whizzes past them and lands somewhere nearby. Naturally, the couple just has to go and investigate. What they find is a massive cirus tent swarming with creepy, psychotic alien clowns. After making a narrow escape from almost being shot down by killer popcorn, the couple runs to report the incident to the police, only to find that the clowns have inundated the town and are killing everyone by turning them into giant balls of cotton candy!I swear the makers of the film have manipulated every clown-related trick known to man. For example, one of the clowns uses a hand-shadow to swallow up a "handful" of unsuspecting people, caustic, lethal pies get thrown, and the clowns even use animal-shaped balloons to murder their victims. Of course, there's the one token black guy in the movie who, surprisingly isn't the first to be killed.On the other hand, this movie is filled with all sorts of bad, yet darkly hilarious scenes. One of my favorites is when a tiny killer clown comes out of a girl's toilet (if you look closely you can see the hand/arm of the pupeteer holding the clown's head as it rises from the toilet bowl). Of course, the actors and their lines are also less than stellar, which in many ways only helps to make the film even funnier. So if you enjoy fatuous, B-rated horror films, then you should definitely check this out.

Excellent release for fans of the movie
This review is for the Blu-Ray version of 'Killer Klowns From Outer Space.'There are lots and lots of reviews already and i saw the movie a few years ago but decided to revisit it upon release of this blu-ray. Like the previous release by MGM's Midnite Movies, there are lots of extra's and the picture quality is excellent. But then again, the picture quality was excellent on the previous release by MGM. It's not necessary to upgrade unless you are a huge fan of the movie and absolutely must have the best picture possible.I'm giving this release 5 stars because the movie is excellent and highly imaginative. The picture quality, which was already excellent is at it's best here so I can't lower the rating just because it isn't a huge improvement.The movie starts off with a couple of college students 'making out' at a lookout, the kind you see in lots of movies. These two are Mike and Debbie. They see a shooting star and decide to go investigate. Meanwhile, in a homage to 'The Blob' we see a farmer who goes into the woods to investigate the supposed meteor. He finds a circus tent in the middle of the woods and encounters a Klown. Mike and Debbie arrive soon after and find the aforementioned circus tent. They enter and soon realize it's not a circus tent but something else entirely different. They discover dead people wrapped in cotton candy. Time enough to scream and head out quickly. They head to the police station and try to convince the police that their are clowns killing people. Officer Mooney (John Vernon, whom we all remember as the Dean in Animal House) is having none of it. Fortunately, Debbie's ex-boyfriend, Officer Dave decides to give them a chance and go investigate. Debbie is dumped off at home and Dave and Mike head to the woods where they find the tent is gone. Of course, Dave doesn't believe Mike despite the fact that their is an enormous crater right where the tent was and arrests Mike on the spot. This might be extreme but he was looking for a reason to get rid of Mike so he can make the moves on his ex, Debbie. It's not long after that that Officer Dave discovers that Mike is telling the truth. Officer Mooney, despite receiving a phone call from everybody in town (while sitting and laughing while reading a guns and ammo magazine!) refuses to believe any bit of this business of clowns. Even when he a Klown shows up he still believes the town is playing a practical joke on him. His end is somewhat creepy and reminiscent of 'What's the Matter with Helen?' From here it's up to Mike, Debbie, and Officer Dave to stop the Killer Klowns from Outer Space (along with some added help from the comical and very sexually frustrated Terenzi Brothers.)Just about every stereotype of clowns you can think of is used at some point in this movie. It is very creative and enjoyable to watch. I have to admit I thought I was going to hate it when I first watched it a few years back. I was bored for the first 15 minutes but then once I saw the Klowns in action along with the very excellent makeup, I was hooked.There are lots of good extra's that come with the movie. For starters there is an audio commentary by the Chiodo brothers, who made the movie. There are 5 featurettes which include the 'making of' and visual effects. There are also deleted scenes and bloopers along with the trailer.Highly Recommended for all fans of the horror-comedy genre and also for fans of clown (Klown) movies!
