Watched Killer Klowns from Outer Space for the first time in over a decade and it's just as campy, stupid, funny, and visually amazing for the time due to it's special effects as I remembered. The special effects for the time are exceptional;Watched Killer Klowns from Outer Space for the first time in over a decade and it's just as campy, stupid, funny, and visually amazing for the time due to it's special effects as I remembered. The special effects for the time are exceptional; the clowns are so well designed, each one creepy and cool and each in their own unique way, and they look realistic and their movement is pretty realistic. The clown ship sets, the clown props, the clown vehicles, and all the clown set pieces are spectacular and cool for the time. The writing is really funny, love the morbid humor the clowns have, even if at times the human dialogue is a bit cheesy. John Vernon and Grant Cramer give good performances. The music especially the song Killer Klowns is excellent. After watching this again after so many years I fully remember why it was my favorite when I was younger, it's still just as amazingly absurd as I remembered, an A+ movie for me that is definitely one of my all-time favorite movies again.… Expand

I have to **** jakeyjake. This is not a "good movie", but there is so much late 80's campy gold here in the writing, costumes, sound effects, special effects I keep coming back to it year after year. It's a movie that doesn't mind making funI have to **** jakeyjake. This is not a "good movie", but there is so much late 80's campy gold here in the writing, costumes, sound effects, special effects I keep coming back to it year after year. It's a movie that doesn't mind making fun of itself and doesn't take itself too seriously. For all its silliness, it also has subtle greatness.… Expand

This movie is just good fun it's a silly concept and it knows it and embraces the silly campy nature in all aspects of the movie and because of that I would consider this one of the greatest movies from the 80s

I can appreciate some parts of the movie but it's definitely the kind of film that is so bad it's good. There's a lot more fun to be had when watching with a friend and just ripping on it rather than just watching it by yourself.

Alien clowns kill some people in a village using a variety of circus methods. This is so tacky that it is brilliant. This is not meant to be a serious horror movie or a science-fiction epic. It is simply a fun movie with ludicrous situationsAlien clowns kill some people in a village using a variety of circus methods. This is so tacky that it is brilliant. This is not meant to be a serious horror movie or a science-fiction epic. It is simply a fun movie with ludicrous situations and cheesy film-making like laughable characters and terrible scripting. The movie itself is very colourful and full of clowns killing people in imaginative ways. Worth watching so long as you are not expecting a cinematic masterpiece. You should expect campy fun.… Expand
