It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
The sexual chemistry between the cop and the boyfriend is so thick you could cut it with a bedazzled knife. The fact that they never end up together is the only real negative here.
This movie is a massive pile of crap. It is unbearable and I cannot believe I sat through all of this movie. It is so stupid that it can't even spell CLOWNS right.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space was one of the first B movies I put on my watchlist, no joke. And yeah, enjoyable watch, fun premise, funny moments and jokes. The story is about a spaceship that crash lands in the town of Crescent Cove, containing killer alien clowns that begin to terrorize the small town, killing the inhabitants by turning them into mounds of cotton candy, and it's up to a small group of citizens to stop these killer clowns. And that's it. Fairly standard B movie with standard characters and some reality creative death scenes, one even including acid pies. I'd recommend it, even if it's a really silly film.The only negative I have probably shouldn't get to me; I'm reviewing a film about weird looking killer alien clowns who arrive in a carnival shaped spaceship, but it still gets to me. The main character Mike hangs around with these two other guys in the film, and in the end you think they're dead. Would have liked if they stayed dead, but no, they somehow survive TWO explosions, without a single scratch or broken bone. You're telling me these two get flung across a room by the UberKlown, are able to BOTH fit inside the ice cream van's freezer; survive the exploding ice cream van: then make their way out of the BURNING wreckage, make their way into the van the clowns had (which wasn't even on the spaceship!!!) and survive THAT with the van completely in tact, while everything else on the ship was blown to smithereens!? The cop character also survives but I could at least buy that a little. This really took the cake.Also there's this comical scene earlier on where one of the clowns tried to lure a kid out of this restaurant for some reason, and the mom arrives in time; not because there a clown outside with a hammer trying to lure her kid out, no no, it's because she hasn't finished her food. Is this parent stupid or just blind?Overall, enjoyable, and I would and will watch this movie again, even if it's for the laughs. One of the good old cheesy 80s B movies and I love that it exists.
Anyway it does not seem to matter much.Killer Klowns takes part of the gang of "thuggish movies" like "The Rocky Horror Show","Gremlins" etc. This movie has the merit of being a surprise from start to the end. It's like a circus show where you do not know what's going to happen in the next minute. It is made with graceful rhythm and overflowing imagination, the idea is really original and has memorable gags never seen in other movies. It's the perfect movie to get away with, it makes you to forget your worries and enjoying a really good time.
