The tag line is: “In space no one can eat ice scream.” Already it’s a great movie, right? I (Barbara) recently had the pleasure of watching a visually stunning film titled Killer Klowns from Outer Space. I’m guessing that they had to spell “klowns” with a K because that’s the only way anyone would understand the alliteration. Plus it's scarier. K's are way scarier than C's.Killer Klowns was written by Charles and Edward Chiodo and directed by Stephen Chiodo. You know, the famous Chiodo Brothers writing/directing team. They have been behind other sci-fi classics such as…. well, actually Killer Klowns is the only movie they ever wrote and directed. But hey- when you make a movie like this, there would be nowhere left to go but down. Kudos to you, Chiodo Brothers, for going out on top!
Killer Klowns from Outer Space has plenty that sets it apart from your typical horror film. Unlike most, this one takes place in a small town. Ok, so maybe in that respect it is like a lot of other horror movies. BUT this movie has a hot young actress who has a shower scene!!! Wait- that’s like a lot of others too, isn’t it? Well this movie revolves around a young hero
who starts out as an average joe but saves the day in the end. All right, so it has a lot of the elements of your typical horror film. But it’s not! This one has klowns! KILLER klowns! And they’re from outer space!!! This movie has dead bodies encased in cotton candy cocoons! It has a klown (of the “killer” sort) sticking his hand into someone’s back and making him talk like a puppet! It has popcorn that turns into little scary clown heads that try to eat you! It has a security guard getting “pied” to death! That’s right, to DEATH! So if you have any free time this weekend, go out and rent this film. No. BUY this film. You won’t be sorry.
Megan's Mini Review:
I too saw this movie as a young khild (get it… I spelled it with a k!). And since then I have been afraid of klowns. You would think I would be more afraid of kotton kandy but a fat kid never fears food… we embrace it. Even if someday we might be stuck in a kotton kandy kacoon I will still love that sugary ball of fluff! Where was I going with this… oh right. Klowns, sacry… movie about Killer Klowns AMAZING! Seriously watch it, it will change your life probably for the worse but whatever. Just don't watch it before you go to the circus. Happy Movie Watching!

i've seen this fine piece of american filmmaking as well. actually, i believe my sister (robyn) and i watched it together when we were younger and then she probably told me about how the klowns would kill me or whatever. i'm still looking over my shoulder to this day.
