Review of Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988) by Alex R — 23 Nov 2010

With a title like Killer Klowns From Outer Space you know you're in for something special. Invading aliens done up as clowns land by a town and start killing the local towns people with cotton candy ray guns and guns that shoot popcorn. The film is quite original and is a fun one as well. You'll find yourself hating clowns and laughing, and jumping out of your seat. The Chiodo Brothers created something that is truly special in Klowns, this film in my opinion deserves a lot more praise, and is definitely a classic of the genre. This film will make you smile as the Klowns with homicidal tendencies kill the population of the local town in creative ways. If you know by, this is not a film to take seriously. The point of this film is that it's a horror comedy, a fun one at that. You can tell just by the title that you'll either love it or hate it. Killer Klowns is a terrific B movie, and is a film that every horror fan should see because the premise is so silly, you're guaranteed a good time watching it. In my opinion Killer Klowns From Outer Space is very underrated, and just because it has a somewhat "dumb" title, you should dismiss this film on those grounds. The film was designed to be a fun ride for the audience, simple as that. Killer Klowns shouldn't be taken so seriously, watch it before judging the film too harshly. The film is very amusing, silly, but above all fun.

Overall, Killer Klowns is a great little gem of Horror Comedy, and if you love laughing and being scared, give this one a view. Killer Klowns is a film that should be considered a classic and get the attention it truly deserves.
