The thing that stands out most about Killer Klowns From Outer Space is the level of creativity and commitment to the bit.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Oct 1, 2024

Killer Klowns from Outer Space is an utter delight. Packed with visual gags, exciting set pieces, and those incredibly memorable titular antagonists, the film is a fantastic piece of easily digestible entertainment.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 15, 2024

Killer Klowns From Outer Space is an amusing romp, bound to keep its classic status as it remains an imaginative sci-fi that excels in its effects and costumes bringing this horrifying sideshow to life.

| Oct 7, 2023

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.

| Sep 10, 2021

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.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 29, 2021

A few more eerie moments could have offset the hokiness; the body count is high, but the gore is too limited.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 6, 2020

Okay, I'm not saying it's a great movie. In fact, it seems to get less watchable the farther we get from its original release in 1988. But you gotta love this true cult classic.

An absurd, one-gag pony, but these alien clowns look incredible even now.

| Feb 28, 2019

Killer Klowns from Outer Space is a fun and occasionally unsettling cult film that is well worth a watch for B movie enthusiasts or horror fans.

| Nov 29, 2018

A far more interesting horror movie threat than they have any right to be, and that's all thanks to the cleverness of the Chiodo boys.

| Jul 3, 2018

Truly something special for genre fans or for those with a love of fun, imaginative films with a ridiculous premise, classic soundtrack, and a blackly humorous edge

| Original Score: 8/10 | Apr 12, 2018

Boy, you know, I really like the Chiodo Brothers' Killer Klowns from Outer Space. I can't help it.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 31, 2012

The title alone encourages immediate dismissal, but for those on the hunt for something miles away from the norm that showcases truly inspired moviemaking minds, Killer Klowns from Outer Space is a superb cult distraction.

| Original Score: B+ | Sep 28, 2012

'Can't Sleep, Clowns Will Eat Me.' Not just pretty words, thanks to the Chiodo brothers.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 29, 2011

It's a one-gag movie, but while some of the iterations of that gag are about as hilarious as a squirt in the face from a plastic flower, a few are genuinely rib-tickling.

| Sep 16, 2010

The title says it all...and is the only reason to see this misfire.

This krazy, kooky movie strings together the creature feature with the alien movie, and pumps it full of dark humour
