Critic Reviews

Philadelphia Daily News - Tirdad Derakhshani

A delightfully schlocky horror comedy about a race of vicious, bloodthirsty invading aliens who look like circus clowns - but with very sharp teeth. [15 Aug 2013, p.C01]

IGN - Sean Carlson

Outside 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. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine - Staff (Not Credited)

In KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE a potentially interesting genre-warping concept is turned into a merely dull and repetitive one by the Chiodo brothers, who created CRITTERS. Read full review

Time Out - Staff (Not Credited)

Utterly ridiculous, the dialogue exquisitely dumb, the acting soooo bad, it's one for cheap laughs. Read full review

I can appreciate some parts of the movie but it's definitely the kind of film that is so bad it's good. There's a lot more fun to be had when watching with a friend and just ripping on it rather than just watching it by yourself.
