Killer Klowns from Outer Space: BEST MOVIE EVER (Okay, not really, but it made me laugh)

    Space is a dangerous place. Clowns are a dangerous people. Put them together and you have quite the recipe for a campy horror cult classic. When alien clowns make contact with planet earth, they instantly begin their reign of terror by cocooning their victims in cotton candy and blasting their prey with guns that fire popcorn. Despite their silly appearance however, these clowns mean business. But when even the police don’t believe the madness, a small group of teenagers may be Earth’s last hope.

     Killer Klowns from Outer Space has become famous over the years for it’s bad special effects, it’s campy comedic essence, and come on, just read the title. The film is centered around a band of alien clowns, all with their own unique attributes and makeup. The creators definitely endowed a sense of creativity, as each clown seemed to resemble it’s own persona, and added to the overall character of the film. For what it is, however, Killer Klowns contains a rather interesting plot. Unlike most campy horrors, I was actually genuinely interested in the fate of these teenagers and their small suburban neighborhood. That being said, the character development was mediocre, the effects were cheesy, and the acting sometimes felt like it was just too much.

     The film is goofy, outrageous, and at times just ridiculous. If you are looking for some deeper meaning, or some sort of powerful insight into life, stay away, but if you are looking for a good laugh, or are really high, watch this film.
