When teenagers Mike (Grant Cramer) and Debbie (Suzanne Snyder) see a comet crash outside their sleepy small town, they investigate and discover a pack of murderous aliens who look very much like circus clowns. They try to warn the local authorities, but everyone assumes their story is a prank. Meanwhile, the clowns set about harvesting and eating as many people as they can. It's not until they kidnap Debbie that Mike decides it's up to him to stop the clowns' bloody rampage.

Nashville Scene

Funny but also genuinely disturbing (there's something immediately dangerous about these clowns), Killer Klowns has dozens of images and moments that will stick in your subconscious.

Film Frenzy

The imagination that went into the visual effects, the set design, and the alien gadgetry makes it easy to overlook any minor deficiencies in other departments.

Benjamin G best movie ever... vampire clowns...cotton candy cacoons and lots laughs. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Devlin E Killer Klowns from Outer Space is a fun, funny, family horror movie. This is a horror movie I would let my kids watch when they turn 8 or 9 years old. I like the characters, they're funny. The masks for the Klowns were well made. All in all, a fun time, but not the best story. RIP that old farmer dude and his pooh bear, they will be missed. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review Horror fan 4 This is a lot of fun. Say what you want but this is perfect.

On my second time watching it. It is deadly humour so to speak.
