    A boyhood dream comes to life...

    When i think of clowns i think of freaky men dress in clothes that would probably fit sumo wrestlers, prancing around a circus ring (or your friends 8 th birhtday party) making complete prats of themselves.

    Not in this movie!!!!

    Psychotic klowns with a thirst for human blood come to earth in thier circus tent space ship (novel idea that), chase a few stupid teenagers in wooded areas, turn their unsuspecting victims into giant cotton-candy/candy floss balls which they then string up in a their space ship and proceed to drink from them (Mmmmmm.. full of fruity goodness!)

    The idea is genius! The special effects are amazing! The acting is.... well... they say their lines without looking at the camera!

    I would recommend this to anyone without a soul, who loves slap-stick horror and feels the need to rid themselves of a few good hours.

    Watch it, or i right another review!!

    In space, no-one can eat ice-cream...

    One from the vaults!

    Back in the late 80s, me and a group of friends would get together for regular video sessions.

    This was one of our regular favourites! It is so bad that it is a work of genius!

    A hoot!

    Do you want to see a shadow puppet of three men in a boat, by a clown with Mickey Mouse hands? Do you want to see a heroine with the world's crappiest scream? How about a tracker dog made of balloons? Absolutely inspired nuttiness. If this ever gets released on region 2, I'm buying it. As it is, i'll just have to persevere with my much loved and battered vhs tape.

    Rent it for fun

    You kinda know what to expect just by the title. This is just a fun movie to sit back and enjoy without using too many brain cells.

    We Want Jo-Jo

    An absolute cult classic. So bad it's brilliant. Only available on region 1 at the moment. The giant 'boss' clown called JO-JO was immortalised in the PC first person shooter game BLOOD (by Monolith).

    unmissable

    why did this film not get an oscar - amazing acting and special effects beyond belief - why is this film a 12 I was genuinely scared - honest - rent this film you wont be wasting 90 minutes of your life.

    Klowns With A K..... You Must be Joking?

    This is one of those cult classics that can't help disappoint. It really falls into the band of so-bad-it-is-almost-good, except that it really is pretty bad. I got the impression that most of the 'funny' humour was unintentional. Yes it is a send up of sci-fi horror with inept effects and even worse acting, and at around 80 minutes it doesn't outstay its welcome. I just couldn't to buy into it as much as I thought I would.

    What do you think?!

    Seriously, if you're considering renting this you must already know what it's going to be like. It's over the top and hilarious. And definitely worth a watch on a boring rainy evening. A lot of fun!
