THE ASTOR REVIEW

Stand by cult film fans! We are pleased to present the bizarre 1988 comedy horror favourite, and like most movie properties of the era is being pushed for a 3D sequel in 2013. Taking a cue from 50s B Grade sci-fi (like The Blob)’ Killer Klowns sees the earth under attack from aliens (that look like crazed clowns), seeking to use humans as sustenance, armed with circus-centric weapons like popcorn guns and a sideshow tent shaped space ship. Naturally it’s up to a bunch of local kids to save the day. Now a certified cult classic.Features a theme song by legendary punk group The Dickies. AB

IMDB SYNOPSIS

When a small town is invaded by aliens from outer space who are capturing and killing the townspeople, no one takes them seriously. Why? The aliens all look like circus clowns, use weapons that look clown like, and all have painted on smiles. Only a few of the young people in the town realize the danger and of course no one believes them. Armed with an ice cream truck they try and rescue their friends.
