As a fan of 80s slashers, this film was incredibly nostalgic for me. The whole film felt like the most bloody parts of slasher films combined, making for nonstop thrills and kills. Speaking of kills, this movie does NOT mess around. They are as gruesome as a person could want. Also, the hacksaw scene (if you saw the film you know what I’m talking about) is still burned in my mind, even after a month of watching it. Also, Art the Clown is played to perfection by David Howard Thornton. He adds so much creepiness to the character, and is the perfect mixture of morbid comedy and outright nightmare fuel. But the film is not flawless. There really isn’t much of a plot to follow. Since the film is murder after murder, it doesn’t allow for a rich storyline. As well as that, there is some unanswered questions (hopefully they get answered by Terrifier 2), and the acting is pretty mediocre from anyone who’s not Art the Clown. But honestly, it just adds to the overall feel of the film. Overall, Terrifier is a must see for any slasher fan, and NOT for the faint of heart!

This movie makes Alien look like a children’s film. Quite possibly one of the most disturbing movies ever made. I’m not one to scare easily, but the film’s gruesome imagery, and suspenseful nature left me speechless. The visuals in this movie are just TERRIFYING. From chests splitting open to reveal sharp toothed mouths, to people’s faces getting melted off, to dogs that dismember themselves, to decapitated heads sprouting spider legs, this movie has it all. And the special effects are so well done, they hold up even to this day. CGI wishes it could create the same terror. This film deserves a 5 star rating for the effects ALONE. I’m not even gonna say anymore. I could write a novel about how haunting this movie is. Overall, 10/10. Doesn’t get more gruesome and creepy than this!

Quite possibly one of the best, if not THE best, b-movie ever made. Few movies have managed to make me laugh this much. It was so stupid, and that’s what made it so memorable. It blended just the right amount of horror, and hilarious gags. Example: At one point, when a biker gang member destroys Shorty the Klown’s tricycle, he punches the biker’s head clean off. I was laughing so hard. And another time, Spikey uses balloons and makes a cadaver dog to track a teen couple down. But, it’s no shortage to it’s creepy moments. When Chubby takes out a silly straw and plucks it inside of a cotton candy cocoon, he slurps up oozy blood from the cocoon. And also, there are some moments that are pure nightmare fuel. When Jumbo uses a man’s dead body as a ventriloquist dummy to talk to another guy. And also, the Klown effects. Rather than just putting guys in makeup, they use animatronics, puppetry, and bulky suits that give them an otherworldly, creepy quality. The practical effects are AMAZING. This movie is an 80s nostalgia fest all over. Overall, I give this movie an 8 out of 10. Killer Klowns from Outer Space is an intentionally goofy masterpiece, while also packing classic 80s horror.

A great adaptation of a great book. Disney knocked it out of the park with this one. Seeing so many live action movies be made by Disney (most being live action remakes), and the original ones being ABYSMAL (we’re looking at you, Artemis Fowl), this movie was a nice breath of fresh air. The story was incredible, the characters were memorable and funny, and the effects were outstanding. The animals were much more expressive and human like in this movie. And Ivan. If I could pick one fictional character to meet in person, it would be Ivan. Overall, I give this movie a 9/10. Definitely worth a watch, and maybe a re-watch!
