About
You’ll likely enjoy this zany horror-comedy if you love over-the-top alien mischief and memorable clown look; Not for you if you want realism or subtle scares, and if you prefer The Blob or Critters, you may still find this more silly than scary.
Pros: colorful alien clowns; lots of laughs; inventive creature ideas | Cons: too ridiculous at times; not fully scary; uneven connection
