It’s taken far too long, but here we go with The Chiodo Brothers’ “Killer Klowns From Outer Space”.
A film in which Dean Wormer is still having trouble with disrespectful young punks; we discover quite how bad popcorn can be for your health; and reveal the safest place to hide in an ice cream van, in the event of an explosion.
A perennial of the video shop, and many a young horror fan’s gateway to the genre; “Killer Klowns…” still looks magnificent, mostly due to the Chiodo Brothers’ mastery of practical effects and unique style. Embracing its B-Movie premise (it’s similarities to “The Blob” are marked), with performances to match; this film knows its ridiculous and revels in it’s cartoonish silliness.
