So what if Giorgio Tsoukalos was right and Ancient Aliens did visit us in the past but instead of gods they were clowns? And what if they came back in their big top tent spaceship and started killing people? That is the question that Killer Klowns from Outer Space asks (I love that there is actually a quote about ancient aliens in the movie). Obviously this movie is just another cheese fest from the 80's.
As the title promises the movie is about killer clowns from outer space. After seeing a meteor crash while making out two teenagers go and discover that it really was a space ship that looks like a circus big top. After further investigation they find out that the clowns that live inside the space ship are there to kill people. Using tracking balloon animals, killer popcorn, and cotton candy cocoons to kill their victims the clowns unleash mayhem on the town. Debbie and Mike with the help of Debbie's ex-boyfriend Dave who is a police officer set out to save the town. Dave figures out the only way to kill the clowns is to shoot them in the nose. With the help of two idiot brothers who drive an ice cream truck they manage to save the town.
The movie is silly and funny with very little gore and not very scary. With a rating of PG-13 you can barely consider this a horror movie. But it was obviously meant to be just a wacky movie. Unlike a movie like Troll 2 which was made to be a serious horror movie but failed at it. I love that the space ship is a circus tent, the fact that the popcorn kills people, and the crazy way Dave destroys the head clown at the end. The premise is extremely out there but the movie does not take itself too seriously and can be enjoyed for the pure silliness that it is. This is the perfect movie for people who like those really silly horror movie and it is probably best enjoyed with a group of friends who love the same.
