•The life of a quiet American provincial town is disrupted by the arrival of some terrible, yet bizarre, aliens. These beings have the appearance of circus clowns, attack humans with plastic guns similar to toys, but turn out to be really dangerous and lethal. They trap the human prey in a sort of cocoon and then feed on it, sucking out the blood... Directed and written by the Chiodo brothers, creators of the special effects for the "Critters" series, this "Killer Klowns" is a kind of grotesque horror that alternates jokes and sequences of pure comedy with scenes of blood and moments of suspense, revisiting classics of the genre like "Bad Taste" or "Spaltters" by Peter Jackson. It is an unusually pleasant and original trash movie; a "gem" almost never broadcast on television but which can be easily found on VHS.
