Leave your thoughts about Killer Klowns from Outer Space.
| The Movie SleuthMichelle KisnerKiller 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. |
| Projected FiguresAnton BitelChiodo takes an alien invasion plot familiar from the 50s, and makes it all his own by rigorously and liberally painting it with every clown reference imaginable. |
| StarburstAndrew PollardTruly 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 |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonThe 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. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsTirdad DerakhshaniOutside of viewing the film as a child or with a group of pals on drunken Saturday night, watching a bunch of loosely stringed sequences of Killer Klowns attacking townsfolk only gets you so far. It's a fun picture. But nothing more. |
| MTVCharles WebbA 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. |
| New TimesLuke Y. ThompsonThe name says it all, and the movie delivers. |
| MovieCrypt.comKevin A. Ranson'Can't Sleep, Clowns Will Eat Me.' Not just pretty words, thanks to the Chiodo brothers. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfThe 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. |
| Urban CinefileAndrew L. UrbanThis krazy, kooky movie strings together the creature feature with the alien movie, and pumps it full of dark humour |
