Finally the truth about clowns is out! Beneath their smirky sinister grins and wildly patterned clothes are clever killers from out of this world. The “juxtaposition of their toy-store arsenal and malevolent intent proves to be a tasty combination” (Los Angeles Times) in this killer entertainment that will leave you fearing these big-top creatures for good. A spaceshiplooking like a circus tentlands in a field near a small town, signaling the attack of deviant, red-nosed, balloon-twisting psychos from another world who plan to annihilate mankindby turning people into cotton candy! Luckily, the town’s teen citizenry decides to fight back and teach the cosmic bozos a lesson. But these klowns are no klutzes, turning popcorn, peanuts and caramel corn into playfulbut deadlyweapons of madcap destruction and mayhem!What’s completely and utterly baffling about Killer Klowns is not the plot–that’s rather tidily summed up by the title–but the fact that it got made at all. According to the filmmakers, (the Chiodo brothers: Charles, Edward, and Stephen) all it took to convince the studio was a one-page treatment and a picture of a clown holding a gun. It boggles the mind. Anyway, some killer Klowns descend from outer space and start wrapping their hapless victims in cotton candy for later consumption. Debbie and Mike suspect something’s amiss, but who will believe them? The movie’s greatest asset is its willingness to play on the inherent creepiness of clowns. The Klowns are grotesque parodies of their big-top cousins, hiding hideous malformed teeth behind terrifying circus makeup. It’s impossible to tell if Killer Klowns is truly meant to be scary, but it is compelling in its thoroughness: popcorn, balloon animals, and really big shoes are all used to their fullest effect. The only cast member you’ll recognize immediately is veteran character actor John Vernon as Officer Mooney, but keep an eye out for Christopher Titus in a small role as Bob McReed. Then just sit back and stare open-mouthed in bewildered joy. –Ali Davis

This movie rates up there with Pumpkinhead and King Solomon’s Mines starring Richard Chamberlain as one of the worst movies of all time. Two reasons why I purchased it. One, I got it for $…. Two, the review from Amazon.com. In the future, I guarantee I’ll get a more reliable review before purchase. Don’t waste your time! If you want scary, get the original Dracula or any Hammer Studios film. If you want camp, try Fiend Without a Face or Black Sunday with Barbara Steele.

Basically, lots of folks started talking about how honest to God awful this movie is, and how they were going to troll everyone before trolling was invented by saying it is the best scary movie ever.
It’s fairly epic that most of the reviews place this movie as a 4+ star ride of awesome, but honestly, it isn’t, every single good review managed to think this movie is great because they were tricked by someone else.
The power of suggestion over human minds is pretty powerful, as I myself have partaken in this joke, and this is the only place you’ll find a review by me that’s honest in relation to how terrible this movie is, from the effects to the acting to the actual plot.
A grade A stinker that nobody should watch, but everyone should tell someone else to see it for it’s 5 stars of greatness!
