Reviews
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
SimonChowdhury I honestly can't fathom all these stellar reviews, especially considering the potential charms of actually enjoyable B-Movies (i.e. Miami Connection, No Retreat No Surrender).This film is utterly boring and didn't make me laugh once within the first 40 minutes (I stopped it after that). A total waste of time.I find it impossible that only a quarter of the written reviews here are poor ratings. Here's mine. Hope I saved at least one person some time.Now onward, in my search for better B-Movies.
Oliver Thatcher Watson Where do I even begin? This film is hilariously made, both in bad and good ways. First off, the story is very random, but also pretty good in my opinion. The acting is so-so. The performances in this film are very cheesy and sub par at best. And when I say cheesy, I mean the most corniest acting ever done in a film. I mean seriously. It's almost funny every time someone is on screen, as viewers might just wait for the next stupid thing to be said/acted out as. Also, the acting isn't very believable in a few scenes. The editing, however, is the biggest flaw, as this film is terribly edited. The reason why I say that is because scenes cut off at random times. The sound sometimes is gone too in a few scenes. All in all, the editing is just very sloppy and not great in the slightest. The special effects in this film are actually very well done, though. So besides all that, I honestly don't know if I care for this film or not. As there are a lot of flaws, but at the same time, the amount of hilarious cheesiness and good special effects are almost enough for me to recommend to anyone who wants to see anything out of the ordinary, or to anyone looking for an extremely corny 80s movie to laugh at. As this film doesn't disappoint in the slightest with those 2 things.
tiskec In my opinion, this movie flat out sucked. It was so stupid it was.... well it was just stupid. Not funny at all. I think they were trying to make some kind of horror comedy, and it just came out lame rather than good. I knew it was going to be "sort of stupid" when I walked into it but really? A circus tent from the sky hey? Killing people and preserving them in cotton candy cocoons? This was just stupid and dumb. The whole plot was so stupid it couldn't even be justified as a joke. Let's talk about the acting. The clowns didn't have to do much acting at all. So, they weren't too bad. However, the rest of the cast just flat out sucked, really bad to. The acting was held back, and just...terrible. I can't even describe it. Especially in the beginning, where the guy goes to the circus tent (the supposed meteor) and starts looking around. When he loses his dog and starts to look for him, my facial expression to his reaction to the lost dog must have been really funny. Where did they get actors like these? All I can say is wow. A lot of people will disagree with me on this, but I place this movie in my turds of terror-short movie list. It's so popular, but so terrible at the same time.
Logan Jones This movie is the very definition of a B movie. It starts on the mountain top that couples make out at that apparently every town has. There's an unimportant ice cream truck with two unimportant characters we're supposed to like. The clowns fly by and to idiots think it's a shooting star for some reason and follow it. Next is the really sad scene where an old guy's dog gets killed, he starts crying, and he's killed by the Klowns. The couple from before shows up and is attacked by the Klowns and run away, leading them into town. When clowns attack the town, no one takes it seriously, even the cops. Well, one of two doesn't. He's convinced that the whole town is pranking him to get him fired, so he straight up stops answering the phone. It must be noted that these Klowns are total jerks. They go into a drug store and take everything off the shelves and scare the owner, but seemingly don't kill him. A ton of unimportant stuff happens and Debbie, of the previously mentioned couple, is captured and for some reason not killed. Her boyfriend, her ex, and the two dumb ice cream guys go to the amusement park and end up on the Klowns ship. They save Debbie and a really big Klown, supposedly their leader, shows up. Now it must be discussed that the clowns are killed by popping their nose, which what? So Klown colossus is killed by the ex (who's name I actually cannot remember) pops his nose with his badge in the most anti-climactic death possibly ever. Anyway, the brothers survive their car blowing up by hiding in the freezer and clown car ex machina saved the ex guy. That's it. The end. This movie has many flaws simply drawn from its own concept. However, this is a fun B movie that, despite being predictable, never upset me while watching it and held my interest.
