Basic B horror film plot: Clowns similar to aliens arrive from an unusual space ship and terrorize a small town. The film's protagonists are Dave (John Allen Nelson), a cop determined to kill these clowns; Mike (Grant Cramer), a Tom Brady lookalike who first notices the landing and tries his best to stop them as well; and Debbie (Suzanne Snyder), a person who has been involved in a love triangle between Mike and Dave. There are several supporting character like two twins who are characterized as "lame" and sell ice cream with a truck with a clown's head as either irony or a symbol.
This film is terrible. Completely terrible. But it has some charming qualities that make this film very fun. For example, though the clowns are terrible choreographed, they are just a joy to watch. The special effects are so embarrassingly bad but cannot stop making me laugh. No one can tell whether the director wanted to make a film this bad or not, but it sure makes for a fun ride.Despite the characters being painfully bland, the clowns truly steal the show. They are so much fun to watch and the filmmakers actually were very creative with how the clowns function. They have a super ability to jump and can kill people with little ray guns. There are moments that are laugh-out-loud hilarious and much more than a chuckle.
I wish I could say more about this film, but I cannot think of much. It has the quality of a high school project for Film Studies made on Photoshop effects and terrible costumes and makeup. It is hysterical but stupid. Is it worth your time? Yes. Is it worth giving a "so bad it's good" score, however. Absolutely not. Killer Klowns from Outer Space receives a 1/4.
