Killer Klowns From Outer Space [Blu-ray]

Product Information

Audiences are not required a familiarity with the B-horror features it plays homage to, as the impressive visuals and make-up effects are more than enough to deliver the laughs the plot promises. Color reproduction and skin tones are superb with a natural color palette -- relatively speaking, of course -- and no obvious bleeding. It also made things harder when things didn’t go their way: for example, a car crash they envisioned as big spectacular effect didn’t go off as expected, the car just rolling down an embankment, and they lacked the funds to reshoot it.

Armed with cotton-candy blasters, mutated flesh-eating popcorn, balloon ray guns, acid pies, and animated shadow puppets that swallow you whole, 'Killer Klowns From Outer Space' invade Earth to scare your funny-bone to death.
