Looks great!
Does it sparkle like a new movie filmed with a 4k camera? of course not. For what they had to work with, it looks really great though. The steelbook looks amazing!It's clowns. That kill people.... and they are from outerspace. If you read that, and aren't interested, I'm not going to convince you to watch this. If you read that and think it sounds fun, it is.I can't believe a review will sway your opinion. If you are on the bubble about buying this, you already lost the battle.

Holy quality Batman!
This edition is amazing! The upgraded video quality is truly the best I have seen! I have watched this movie thousands of times but watching this version truly made me feel like I was having a new experience! I'm floored by how well they have upgraded this piece!

Best presentation of stupidity ever!
If you've seen the movie, you know it's dumb, badly written, can't keep a consistent storyline and the acting is "variable." (John Vernon fans, this needs to be in your collection.)Those are the negatives. The positives are the clown effects and the soundtrack. For this steelbook edition, everything looks and sounds fantastic--probably better than it did in the theater (if it ever played in a theater). The clown effects, always unnerving, look even creepier and more disturbing in 4K. This would be a great disk to demonstrate your home video system to your fiends.

Killer, Yet Campy B-Rated Horror
If anyone tells you that this movie is a scary, or even a grammy winning event, then you've definitely been "clowned" (Sorry for the corny joke...just couldn't help myself on that one). In fact, I'll never forget the weird look my friends gave me when I brought this film over for all of us to watch. But once it got started, none of them could stop laughing.The movie starts off with your typical, big-haired, tight jean wearing 80s couple lying in their town's local "lover's peak," when a shooting star whizzes past them and lands somewhere nearby. Naturally, the couple just has to go and investigate. What they find is a massive cirus tent swarming with creepy, psychotic alien clowns. After making a narrow escape from almost being shot down by killer popcorn, the couple runs to report the incident to the police, only to find that the clowns have inundated the town and are killing everyone by turning them into giant balls of cotton candy!I swear the makers of the film have manipulated every clown-related trick known to man. For example, one of the clowns uses a hand-shadow to swallow up a "handful" of unsuspecting people, caustic, lethal pies get thrown, and the clowns even use animal-shaped balloons to murder their victims. Of course, there's the one token black guy in the movie who, surprisingly isn't the first to be killed.On the other hand, this movie is filled with all sorts of bad, yet darkly hilarious scenes. One of my favorites is when a tiny killer clown comes out of a girl's toilet (if you look closely you can see the hand/arm of the pupeteer holding the clown's head as it rises from the toilet bowl). Of course, the actors and their lines are also less than stellar, which in many ways only helps to make the film even funnier. So if you enjoy fatuous, B-rated horror films, then you should definitely check this out.
