ALIENS, CLOWNS & GEEKS (2019) Review and overview

  

Aliens, Clowns & Geeks is a 2019 American science-fiction comedy film about an actor who stumbles upon the key to the universe and is drawn into an intergalactic war between clowns and aliens.

Written and directed by Richard Elfman (Modern Vampires; Spine Chillers TV series; Shrunken Heads), the movie stars Bodhi Elfman, Rebecca Forsythe, Angeline-Rose Troy, Steve Agee and French Stewart.

Plot:

Eddy Pine (Bodhi Elfman) is a jaded actor dealing with the cancellation of his series. To complicate matters, he wakes up with the key to the universe stuck up his posterior.

Apparently, an alien Clown Emperor (Verne Troyer) is in hot pursuit, as are his rivals, the Green Aliens.

Meanwhile, Professor von Scheisenberg (French Stewart) and his comely Swedish assistants, the Svenson sisters (Rebecca Forsythe, Angeline-Rose Troy), come to Eddy’s aid. If only Eddy hadn’t fallen for Helga, then the aliens confuse his brain with sister Inga.

And when mad little Clown Captain (Martin Klebba) steps on the gas and shifts his spaceship into fourth gear, all hell breaks loose…

Reviews:

Aliens, Clowns & Geeks is equal parts irreverent satire, raunchy comedy, and surreal fever-dream; a nonstop thrill-ride that will have you clutching your stomach with laughter. It’s great entertainment […] Simultaneously a love letter to Hollywood and a self-deprecating send-up of the entertainment industry, the film is a 90-minute party you’ll be glad you attended! Aliens, Clowns & Geeks isn’t for everyone–but horror fans aren’t known for being easily offended.” Dread Central
