KillerKlownsfromOuterSpace (RPKG/DVD)

This review is for the Blu-Ray version of 'Killer Klowns From Outer Space.' There are lots and lots of reviews already and i saw the movie a few years ago but decided to revisit it upon release of this blu-ray. Like the previous release by MGM's Midnite Movies, there are lots of extra's and the picture quality is excellent. But then again, the picture quality was excellent on the previous release by MGM. It's not necessary to upgrade unless you are a huge fan of the movie and absolutely must have the best picture possible. I'm giving this release 5 stars because the movie is excellent and highly imaginative. The picture quality, which was already excellent is at it's best here so I can't lower the rating just because it isn't a huge improvement. The movie starts off with a couple of college students 'making out' at a lookout, the kind you see in lots of movies. These two are Mike and Debbie. They see a shooting star and decide to go investigate. Meanwhile, in a homage to 'The Blob' we see a farmer who goes into the woods to investigate the supposed meteor. He finds a circus tent in the middle of the woods and encounters a Klown. Mike and Debbie arrive soon after and find the aforementioned circus tent. They enter and soon realize it's not a circus tent but something else entirely different. They discover dead people wrapped in cotton candy. Time enough to scream and head out quickly. They head to the police station and try to convince the police that their are clowns killing people. Officer Mooney (John Vernon, whom we all remember as the Dean in Animal House) is having none of it. Fortunately, Debbie's ex-boyfriend, Officer Dave decides to give them a chance and go investigate. Debbie is dumped off at home and Dave and Mike head to the woods where they find the tent is gone. Of course, Dave doesn't believe Mike despite the fact that their is an enormous crater right where the tent was and arrests Mike on the spot. This might be extreme but he was looking for a reason to get rid of Mike so he can make the moves on his ex, Debbie. It's not long after that that Officer Dave discovers that Mike is telling the truth. Officer Mooney, despite receiving a phone call from everybody in town (while sitting and laughing while reading a guns and ammo magazine!) refuses to believe any bit of this business of clowns. Even when he a Klown shows up he still believes the town is playing a practical joke on him. His end is somewhat creepy and reminiscent of 'What's the Matter with Helen?' From here it's up to Mike, Debbie, and Officer Dave to stop the Killer Klowns from Outer Space (along with some added help from the comical and very sexually frustrated Terenzi Brothers.) Just about every stereotype of clowns you can think of is used at some point in this movie. It is very creative and enjoyable to watch. I have to admit I thought I was going to hate it when I first watched it a few years back. I was bored for the first 15 minutes but then once I saw the Klowns in action along with the very excellent makeup, I was hooked. There are lots of good extra's that come with the movie. For starters there is an audio commentary by the Chiodo brothers, who made the movie. There are 5 featurettes which include the 'making of' and visual effects. There are also deleted scenes and bloopers along with the trailer. Highly Recommended for all fans of the horror-comedy genre and also for fans of clown (Klown) movies!

Is this another stupid B movie? NO! Is this another quircky time killing movie only? NO! This movie is so well made B++movie. Yes! This movie is so funny and scary at the same time that I don't even know I should laugh and scared at the same time or what. The killer Klawns came from the space and they kill the people out there. But also they are strangely cute. There are two cops. One is an old one the other is a young one. An old one doesn't believe them till he actually meets them and killed by them. Even so many people calls him to the police office, he just disconnects the phone by saying you are crazy. Then he drinks strong alchol. The other cop tries to stop the Klowns. But useless since they are so many and he is just one. The woman and her boyfriend who saw the klowns and also saw their tent tries to stop them too but what can they do? They are killer klowns. The music is so strange that you might be even be scared as well. It is sound of electric keyboard that is like 80s futuristic pop. People who suffers from This Klowns are just speecheless. They think these guys are trying to kill them, but again, they are klowns. Sometimes people see them and they laugh because they are suppose to be laughable. They are klowns. What am I talking? You just have to see this movie. It is so original and so funny and so scarry at the same time. You won't find anything like this in this earth. Now I know why so many critics are talking about this film. It is almost an art that you shouldn't miss. I will remember the director's name and try to find some other movies in the future.

I know what you're thinking: "How can a movie called Killer Klowns from Outer Space be this guys favorite movie of all time?" Well, I'll tell you. Killer Klowns from Outer Space is nothing short of a brilliant film. It's not a movie you are to take seriously. Instead you are to watch it, laugh, have fun and get scared half to death (that is if you are afraid of clowns or Klowns in this instance). It's an obvious B movie but it is well respected and unfortunately not well known. The acting isn't the best but it doesn't take away from the film, in fact it adds the B movie quality to it. The story is good in an 80's sort of way. It's cliche but that's what makes it great. The Klowns are both funny and scary all at the same time. You will be transfixed on the screen wanting to see the outrageous scary Klowns that appear in this film. The movie also has with it some great one liners that really complete the B movie aspect. It's hard to write a review of this really just because of how the movie is. If you haven't seen it then please take a look at it and if you have seen it and are wondering if it is worth buying on Blu Ray, I say yes. I first watched this movie when I was a young boy in the 90's on VHS. I bought it for the first time on DVD when it was released and enjoyed it. Now I just bought it on Blu Ray and I have to say the transition is pretty good. Now it is from the 80s so don't expect much of an HD look as we know it now, but it is still worth buying on Blu Ray for hardcore Killer Klown fans like myself. Totally worth it!

Buy it now. Trust me.

Une oeuvre formidable, jouissif, délirante, unique ! Quel bonheur de l'avoir enfin en dvd ! ce film de clown tueur est un délire pour s'éclater comme un fou devant des gags et des meurtre plus original les uns que les autre, une comedie horrifique sans sang, que du délire, le film n'est pas a prendre au serieux bien entendu mais on peut tout de meme le classer dans "les navets" et "les chef d'oeuvre" car dans les deux sens ce film est incroyablement reussie, on peut revoir ce film encore et encore sans s'en lasser. comme l'a dit un des frere chiodo "imaginons-nous sur une route la nuit et qu'on croise une voiture. Jusqu'à a apercevoir le conducteur on remarque que cest un clown, rien n'est plus angoissant qu'un clown là ou il n'est pas censé etre", cest de là que les frere chiodo réalise leur fantasme avec cette petite merveille avec des clowns aussi délirant qu'effrayant avec leur tetes. Le jeux d'acteur certe mauvais, effet speciaux beh des année 88 quoi et un scenario inexistant, là n'est pas l'importance, l'importance c'est que ce film est fait pour nous amuser seul ou entre amis. Impossible de s'en lasser !
