Boy this is a stupid movie; not only can it not spell clowns correctly but it can’t deliver even one moment that isn’t beyond ridicule. “Killer Klowns From Outer Space” isn’t a bad movie, it just isn’t a good one. It’s a B movie and if you like stuff like “Plan 9 From Outer Space” and “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes” then you might like this one.

In this movie, what is believed to be a shooting star passes over a small town but in fact turns out to be a group of intergalactic beings, who resemble clowns, which wish to kill the residents. Mike (Grant Cramer “Night of the Living Dead”) and Debbie (Suzanne Snyder) are the only ones that know and the police won’t believe them. As the body count rises, the two must seek help to defeat the clowns (or ‘klowns’ in this movie) before it’s too late.

The human characters are beyond bland. Not one of them speaks any remotely interesting dialog. The clowns however are quite amusing in places. They act like big gremlins (you know the Joe Dante movie) as everyone thinks they are cute at first but then they reveal their sick sense of humour by bizarrely killing innocents for fun.

“Killer Klowns” has some good moments and will make you laugh in a few places, the puppetry is good and some of the special effects hold up surprisingly well. On the downside, the dialog is bad and the movie is overly predictable. The jokes are corny and the film feels tacky. I think “Killer Klowns” is a perfect film for the geeky individuals who like bizarre and wacky films, especially ones in the sci-fi genre. For everyone else this may well be a nice nostalgia trip for some but I think most of you will just notice how flawed it is.
