Killjoy 3

Killjoy 3 is a worthwhile view if you're a fan of clown-related horror films. Killjoy is wacky, uses a lot of tricks and has many one liners, similar to Freddy Krueger at his silliest. There are also 3 other bad clowns that are pretty fun, too. However, all this wackiness among the characters makes very little of the film scary. It will remind you greatly of the Joker from Batman joking around with his goons.

The "normal" characters are pretty boring, though, as are most scenes that don't take place in the clown world. The film starts to get dumb at the end when the characters try to defeat Killjoy... though the final scene is a nice touch. Not as great as It or Killer Klowns from Outer Space, but satisfying.

This is hands down the absolute worst movie I have EVER seen in my entire life. I can't even fathom how the other person that reviewed this could possibly have anything good to say. I went into this expecting a short, bloody, funny, cheesy, horror film with some entertaining blood and guts. What I got instead can be described as "Stephen King's IT: The after school special. If the horrible acting in the first 10 minutes doesn't convince you this movie is the worst thing you'll ever watch... just wait. Honestly, I think this movie would entertain a 3 year old, and they would not be scared. Pitiful and just God awful. Please save yourself and do not watch this video. It has nothing to offer. NOT funny, NOT scary, NOT Gory, zip, zilch, nada, Nothing, The end.

Does anyone NOT know that this is a low low low budget horror movie? OK good, that's out of the way. Now having said that, if you're still interested, you'll find that this film is a weird, campy, good time. The clown characters are charming in their own demented way and Trent Haaga is perfect as the lead demon clown, Killjoy. If you're looking for a bloody slasher type movie, this isn't it. There are funny gruesome killings but they are almost secondary to the set-up. This has a heavy fantasy element to it. I guess the best way to describe it would be horror/fantasy/comedy. I think it would have played out even better with a longer running time but they did the best they could with the budget they had, I'm not complaining. It has many faults but it's mindlessly fascinating and I enjoyed it. Looking forward to part four.

When Band first announced that a third entry into the Killjoy franchise would be going into production I was a bit dumbstruck, why make Killjoy 3 when a new Trancers or Subspecies would have been guaranteed money in the bank? A new Puppet Master or Demonic Toys I can see as puppets have always been Full Moon's true cash cow but Killjoy? Boy was I wrong! Killjoy 3 was no masterpiece of horror, that's for sure, but I'll be damned if it wasn't creepy, sexy fun! Not only was Trent Haaga's Killjoy in rare form but the additional demonic clowns created by writer/director John Lechago (Blood Gnome & Bio-Slime) were genius! This time around we get a lumbering Emmett Kelly style clown dubbed "Punchy the clown," a scary mime and his parasitic sibling dubbed "Freakshow" and, last but certainly not least, a scorching hot succubus clown covered head to toe in body paint named "Batty Boop." Each clown brings its own distinctive look and abilities to the film but the most impressive power wielded by any of them was Batty Boop's amazing ability to cause my pants to spontaneously tent.

It's obvious Lechago was working on a low budget which is no surprise but he still managed to do a damn good job creating a wickedly entertaining sequel. The way Killjoy 3 is written one needn't watch the first two films in order to get their bearings as everything you really need to know about the character is made available to you in this installment. The dialog, outside of a few flat performances, was believable, the CG was fun and appropriate and the special effects make-up and gore were gruesome; this was an enjoyable B-movie romp with more positive than negative to look forward to.

If you're a fan of the first two Killjoy films, you'll want to grab this as it's the best of the series. If you've never seen a Killjoy film but you're interested in checking this out, be sure to rent.

Maybe if you watch enough movies with one specific character in it, you get accustomed to them and the character. But I do believe (and I guess many on imdb feel the same), these kept getting better - haven't seen Part 4 and 5. But since they got some money (the first one obviously had no budget and no real sets), they actually did something.

I wouldn't call the movies particularly good, but casting Killjoy was pretty sweet. So from part 2 and on it's the same guy behind the mask/make-up. And he is quite charismatic. He's funny and has gravitas, which shine through. Some of the jokes have been overused (though most of them were in part 2), but with the addition of some "Puppets" (same studio that did Puppetmaster so there you go) this gets even weirder ... and I guess funnier. More budget, more imagination and still a lot of death
