Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988)

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Bad Script, bad acting, up-and-coming (?) stars, and some seriously scary ass klowns! A true classic 80's movie. Can't be a classic cult film lover without this one in your collection! Great job to all involved. Major Kudos to John Vernon!

Killer Klowns from Outer space is probably the worst and the best movie ever the movie is about killer clowns from outer space the movie contains stupid cliches and good practical effects id say the movie is so stupid it knows it the movie just seems to have fun with this dumb concept and i love it for that its great

KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE is a cheesy, campy, B-movie horror flick of the 1980s that fits in well with the fellow likes of NIGHT OF THE CREEPS and THE BLOB. The story is simplicity in itself and concerns a troop of aliens who arrive on Earth disguised as the creepiest-looking clowns you'll ever see; their job is to go around town and kill and capture as many humans as possible. Truth be told, this is a film which doesn't make a whole lot of sense, and the human characters are very much left in the background. However, it's still a lot of fun, particularly triumphing in terms of the set design and excellent look of the villains themselves. Expect rubbery gore scenes, lots of vivid bright colours, John Vernon hamming up a treat, and lots of sheer weirdness on display.

In my opinion, this movie flat out sucked. It was so stupid it was.... well it was just stupid. Not funny at all. I think they were trying to make some kind of horror comedy, and it just came out lame rather than good. I knew it was going to be "sort of stupid" when I walked into it but really? A circus tent from the sky hey? Killing people and preserving them in cotton candy cocoons? This was just stupid and dumb. The whole plot was so stupid it couldn't even be justified as a joke. Let's talk about the acting. The clowns didn't have to do much acting at all. So, they weren't too bad. However, the rest of the cast just flat out sucked, really bad to. The acting was held back, and just...terrible. I can't even describe it. Especially in the beginning, where the guy goes to the circus tent (the supposed meteor) and starts looking around. When he loses his dog and starts to look for him, my facial expression to his reaction to the lost dog must have been really funny. Where did they get actors like these? All I can say is wow. A lot of people will disagree with me on this, but I place this movie in my turds of terror-short movie list. It's so popular, but so terrible at the same time.
