Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988)

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

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

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.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Terrible movie but also great space killer clowns what more can u ask for very interesting

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!

But 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.

I grew up in 90's and this is a 80's movie which I enjoyed. I heard about Killer Clowns From Outer Space from a co-worker who did grow up in the 80's he knows I like horror movies, so he suggested this one.I have to say it reminds me of the B movies they made back in the 30's 40's and 50's it had that kind of feel to it. And it's an alien invasion movie but instead with clowns. In a small town a comet like object crashes on the outskirts, a red neck goes to investigate first and he is taken, then a couple go and investigate it. They find a circus like tent filled with pink like objects, they discover that dead people are in these and they are being held by freaky looking clowns. All hell breaks loose when the clowns invade the town and take people as their prey, I love the weapons they use, cotton candy guns, popcorn that turns into freaky little monsters, and the pies, the pies are classic and hilarious. Sure some parts were freaky, but mostly this movie was funny and hilarious. I love the bad attitude cop Curtis Mooney, he is the funny star of the show I also love the two brothers, these characters made me laugh so much. It also was fun, you have chaos around town and you never knew what was happening next. You have your hilarious moments, your tense moments and your scary moments. The scene where one clown uses a dead Curtis Mooney as a puppet, that was freaky and creepy but very inventive to the story. Killer Clowns from Outer Space is fun, freaky, and funny movie that will make you scared and laugh at the same time, it would be a fun Halloween movie to watch with your girlfriend, wife, a group of friends because I am sure they would love it too. I give Killer Clowns from Outer Space a 10 for the pure hilarious part of it and the story.
