Movie #342 - Killer Klowns from Outer Space

Killer Klowns from Outer Space
1988 - Rated PG-13 - 1 hr 28 min 
Director: Stephen Chiodo
Starring: Grant Cramer, Suzanne Snyder, John Allen Nelson

Let me preface this with a clarification: this movie was a gift from someone trying to sabotage the integrity of this project. (ahem, Derek).  Still, I can appreciate a good B movie as much as the next guy, so I watched it and I'll review it and here we go.
Take that!

So Killer Klowns... well, it's about a spaceship shaped like a circus tent that lands on earth and happens to be filled with evil killer clowns.  So, thus, the title pretty much sums up the important plot points. And, just like the substitution of a K for a C in the word clowns, the acting seems to be substituted with something else itself.  It's pretty bad.  Laughably bad, but I guess that's the point.

I mean, really.  It's pretty low budget, as evidenced by the special effects and set.  And it's made to be this bad on purpose--it has to be.  So enjoy the poorly staged gore, the abominable acting, and those creepy clown masks for what they are. As horrific in construction as in concept...
