A peculiar late-'80s artifact, this freaky flick alternates between limp yuks, winking violence, and bona fide creep-outs. The anemic plot -- about, well, lethal alien jesters who terrorize a tiny town -- doesn't interest. What does is the look: A low-budget grotesque of fanged clowns, deadly shadow puppets, and bloody greasepaint that recalls Dr. Seuss by way of The Evil Dead. Minus the slow stretches, it's goofy, cultish stuff, the ultimate in clown camp.
