This is by far the best clown movie ever made. It also includes a lot of funny one-liners throughout the movie. One of my personal favorites. Do yourselves a fvor and rent it one night!

If you are a fan of old fifties quasi sci-fi monster movies then this will be right up your alley. It was made in the same vein as the blob with the same antagonists. However you may notice that Officer Mooney (John Vernon) is still playing "Animal House" (1978.)
The theory that this may be the source of people being spooked by clowns is plausible after watching this movie.
Finally a movie where the popcorn sticks to your ribs, and what ever. The cotton candy has a 50's spin to it. And this movie will clown around with your mind. You won't be disappointed. See Suzanne Snyder (Debbie Stone) again in "Weird Science" (1985).
The DVD is loaded with the standard goodies. Thirteen year later the directors discus the original intent and some unique problems. There are out takes. And may other pieces of information to make viewing the movie fun.

Great parodyWednesday, February 16, 2005
This movie falls into the cheesy guilty pleasure catagory.
You realize the bad acting and low budget effects should
turn you off, but somehow Killer Klowns with popcorn guns
is simply too much fun to pass up. It starts off with a
old hillbilly(He used to play on the western series Gun
smoke alot) spotting a spaceship and decides to see what's
going on.
He then naturally becomes the movies first victim. The
main characters are two teens Mike and Debbie. The thing
is that despite being two of the main characters they
add nothing to the film at all. The whole show comes from
the Klowns and they're creative and cheesy ways to kill
off the people put them in the cotton candy cacoons.
This movie is more of a comedy than a horror film as
nothing really is believable. But with the cheesy one
liners totally funny klowns make this movie alot of fun
to watch on a late night. Even better if you are totally
wasted. The only boring parts is all the parts without
the klowns. The best part is the scene with the bikers
and the small klown. If you can't laugh at that you have
no sense of humor at all. The scene with Mooney and the
Klown in the jail is pretty good aswell.
One of the best guilty pleasure movies that you will ever
see.

A B-movie classic!Friday, February 11, 2005
In a small town, an odd spaceship that resembles a circus tent has just landed near the town to lure people in. Suddenly two college students investigate it to discover that it's a spaceship and it's aliens are evil bloodsucking vampiric clown-like creatures whom's only intention is to eat the human race.
Very entertaining and different kind of Science Fiction/Horror Comedy flick that has became a cult favorite over the years, but if you can just overlook the bad acting with dopey dialog, you can enjoy the film for it's special effects, realistic if creepy clown creatures and imaginative ideas for kills & weapons that only the red nosed invaders from another planet can do.
The DVD has great picture with great sound, the extras are very nice like a audio commentary by the directors known as the Chiodo Brothers, 5 featurettes, bloopers, 2 deleted scenes with commentary, still gallery, storyboard gallery and Theatrical Trailer.
If you love Sci-fi, horror and comedy with b-movies then this movie is just right for you.
