Review: Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988)
Tumblr media
This is one of those movies I've been meaning to get to for a long time, but never did. Recently a video game was announced and it really gave me that kick to watch it and I was not disappointed because this movie is a trip.
One thing I love more than a movie with a gimmick is a movie that uses that gimmick well. IT has a clown, but that's all. There's nothing "clowny" about Pennywise other than the fact he looks like a clown. He doesn't really kill anyone in a creative "clown" way. This movie is different.
They make sure to let you know that these characters are clowns. Their spaceship is a circus tent, when they kill people they wrap them up in a cotton candy cocoon, they shoot people with a popcorn gun, they eat people with a squiggle straw, and a ton more examples.

Ok, but how is the actual movie? Absolutely incredible. The movie knew exactly what it was and didn't try to be anything it wasn't. It knew it was a goofy clown movie and played directly into that and I love it for that.
The movie is about a town being attacked by alien clowns. The main character, Mike Tobacco, and his girlfriend Debbie stumble on the Klown's ship in the middle of a field and it all unfolds from there. Mike and the local police officer Dave, Debbie's ex-boyfriend (because of course he is) end up together for most of the end of the movie.
A lot of the movie is Dave and Mike trying to find the Klowns in town, and us seeing what the Klowns are doing. There's one scene where two of the Klowns are destroying a grocery store just wandering around.
Honestly, I don't think there was a single scene in this movie I didn't like. There is one spot I didn't much care for, but it's such a small thing that was completely irrelevant within just a few minutes that it's not even worth mentioning.
I will mention though, this movie was made in 1988 and there are a few jokes that some people might not find very funny, or just outright distasteful. A single native American joke and a few "freak show" jokes, one specifically poking fun at eating disorders. These were at the very start of the movie and there was nothing else like it throughout the entire thing, but I know some people might not like it and would like to know about it before going it.
But, I enjoyed the movie. Not a perfect movie, not my favorite slasher movie, but a fun movie to watch. One I would gladly sit down and watch again with friends.

Victor Abdalov (CA. 1950-)
Russian-born photographer who served as the cinematographer on Tim Burton’s first two films, VINCENT and HANSEL AND GRETEL. Born Viktor Abdalov in Turkmenistan, Abdalov immigrated to the United States in early 1976, some months after his marriage to former International Research & Exchanges Board (IREX) student Catherine Cosman in July 1975. (Many sources incorrectly list former human rights activist Catherine A. Fitzpatrick as Abdalov’s wife. However, her ex-husband is the former political prisoner Alexander Shatravka.) Prior to immigrating, Abdalov was arrested along with Soviet dissident and Gulag survivor Alexander Ogorodnikov in July 1973 while shooting a film about young Russian Christians titled “Jesus People”. Although his camera was seized by the authorities, Abdalov managed to hide the exposed film, which eventually reached the United States by way of the US embassy. Abdalov and Ogorodnikov were subsequently interrogated by the KGB, and Ogorodnikov (and very likely Abdalov, although this is uncertain) was dismissed from the VGIK, the famed Russian film school. Three years after his immigration to the United States, Abdalov was hired as cameraman on the straight-to-video feature “I Go Pogo” (1980). (In 1989, Walt Disney Home Video reissued the film on VHS as “Pogo For President”.) Abdalov met STEPHEN CHIODO during the making of “I Go Pogo”, which led to Abdalov being hired as the Director of Photography (DP) on “Vincent”. Abdalov also served as DP on Burton’s next project, “Hansel and Gretel”. In 1989, an exhibition featuring over one hundred of his photographs of life in Russia opened in Washington, DC.
