Plot
Killjoy, the demon of vengeance, trickster god and killer clown has finally made it to Earth! Along with his gruesome crew Freakshow, Punchy and the sexy/psychotic Batty Boop, Killjoy is free to terrorize mortals in new and excruciating ways. But two years down the road Killjoy discovers that life on Earth is a drag, filled with inconveniences such as eating, breathing, taxes and immigration issues. His crew has left for other jobs, and Batty Boop has gone her own way after a bitter lover's quarrel. Not to mention that Killjoy is now semi-mortal! Meanwhile, back in hell, Beelzebub is on trial for letting Killjoy escape. The only way that Beelzebub can redeem himself is to trap Killjoy's spirit and bring it back in a box. For this mission he is granted a monumental spaceship capable of destroying entire cities! Killjoy has finally settled in, starring in his own web series called PSYCHO CIRCUS, as well as running a movie and merchandise company with the notorious Hambo the Ranch Hand. The challenges of being a producer are nothing compared to the challenges of staying alive after Beelzebub's assassins appear to kill the demon clown and capture his spirit. Killjoy will have to find a way to reunite his gang of clowns in order to defeat Beelzebub and his minions! It all comes together in an epic battle in KILLJOY'S PSYCHO CIRCUS!
Cast
Same as before and with appearances by the usual Full Moon suspects.
Verdict
I remember once upon a time I appreciated Full Moon movies, they were hokey, ugly but they had a certain novelty factor about them and a charm that couldn't be denied. What went wrong?
Having already seen all the other Killjoy movies it took me years to find a copy of Psycho Circus, it eluded me for a longtime. Based on what had come before it I assumed the worst and I got it.
Another nonsensical silly unfunny and now with approximately 0% horror this though not the worst of the series is still an embarrasing effort that accomplishes nothing, has no charm, weak kills and just seems to serve no purpose! I'd argue this is more Troma than it is Full Moon.
Truly awful stuff.
Rants
Who is this aimed at? No seriously, it's not horror, the comedy certainly doesn't cater to adults so who is it for? I honestly get the impression this is what passes as an R rated movie for the under-aged. You remember back in the day when you were a kid and sneakily watched movies you shouldn't, they were often terrible but you thought they were amazing because you didn't know any better and you might spot a nipple? This is that kind of film.
Breakdown
Good to see the original cast back
Unfunny
Remarkably stupid in places.
