Killer Klowns From Outer Space [Blu-ray]

Good restoration in HD with a very good DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundmix. Nice add to my collection, sadly a lot these movies are not available in the Netherlands, the English imports are great and will play perfectly on my Blu-Ray player, big thank you to Amazon.I had a lot of fun with my two teenage nephews who are just since about 2 years becoming interested in horrormovies, especially slashermovies and horror combined with some comedy. This is a very enjoyable horror/comedy, the clowns look good with good looking practical effects and costumes. A much watch for horrorfans who like funny movies as well. Not to he taking serious at all, get popcorn and soda drinks and enjoy for 90 minutes. Recommended!

Very funny horror comedy. A small town in America comes under attack from a bizarre group of aliens who arrive in a UFO that looks like a circus big top tent! The aliens look like scary clowns who use pop corn guns and acid cream pies as weapons and have guard dogs made from balloon animals. They are on earth looking for food...namely people, who they cocoon in candy floss sacks which they can stick their curly straws into to suck the fluids out. Its up to a group of teens to find a way to stop the clown aliens and destroy the UFO. This is a tongue in cheek horror comedy, and I think it is intended to amuse rather than scare the viewer. It's great fun and I recommend it.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space is a whole lot of fun, but very creepy at the same time.And Arrow have done a great job with the Blu-ray transfer, especially the Circus scene's which were so colourful and bright. All in al a great release from Arrow.

I've loved this film since the first time I saw it almost 20 years ago.It grabbed me right from the start when the superb theme tune by The Dickies kicked in. The clowns themselves are suitably menacing, they look like badly filled fancy dress costumes gone wild but when they show their teeth it's time to watch out. The line "they were travelling through outer space and stopped for something to eat" describes the plot succinctly and Cove Crescent is their chosen pit-stop.John Vernon as the red-neck deputy Curtis Mooney is the only really bright light in the acting stakes. The special effects are not that brilliant but that suits the movie well, this is not an FX extravaganza but it is one of the best low budget comedy horror movies you will see.Apart from the big-top space ship and low-grade plastic weapons there's also the klown kar, the klown women (looking as sexy as the stripper in Funny Man), popcorn that grows into monsters and custard pies that dissolve flesh; almost every aspect of the circus clown act is twisted into some fiendish device here.If I had one complaint it would be the lack of any real extras, most notably the 20 minute "making of" featurette that appeared on the R1 DVD release many years ago is not included here. That grumble aside thanks to the Chiodo Brothers for making a movie that cheers me up every time I watch it and The Dickies for that brilliant theme tune.

The Chiodo Brothers (Stephen, Charles and Edward) are legends of the makeup and Animatronics fields - From the base '80s-ness of "Critters" to the low-brow satire that is "Team America : World Police" they have reigned supreme in this department, giving even Screaming Mad George a slight run for his money. But why give them a movie of their very own? Surely that would be the same as asking a Filing Clerk for a Nuclear Power Plant to take over for the weekend whilst the Operations Staff go bobbing for apples? Would it Hell.In a decade filled with quirky B-Movie goodness, it takes a team with vision to present you with something that manages to stand out amongst a crowd with such nuance; Aliens that arrive from the depths of Outer Space that strangely resemble clowns, resplendant with many clownish accoutrements. All of this is set within the usual "aliens-with-mysterious-agenda-terrorise-American-Hick-Town-and-are-defeated" motif, so apart from the Clourophobia fetish, what does this movie give you that is new? The answer lies within the Chiodo Brother's work on the Clowns themselves - Considering the brothers used almost all their budget on pre-production and STILL managed to build such rouge-splattered juggernauts beggars belief. They rock, Insane Clown Posse are exceedingly jealous and such. Hats off.So, movie-wise the film just works. DVD-wise? bare bones, widescreen transfer, hideous packaging. Looks like a 1985 VHS release, "The Journey Of Natty Gann" perhaps. No matter, Region 1 has had this for yonks, as per usual Region 2 is just beginning to catch up. You know you have to have it!

I’ve only recently watched this and while I was a little skeptical at first (despite being a 70’s and 80’s horror film fan).I have to say every once in a while I find a gem of a movie and this is one of those, I love the good fun story that was silly, but in a good way. The acting wasn’t too bad and the locations and sets used are fantastic.Another great release with a great picture by Arrow.The Blu Ray steelbook is a real beauty.5 stars from me.
