Killjoy 3

Killjoy 3 is in my top 10 horror film lists for many reasons. John LeChago is the first reason, Written and Directed, he brought a whole new aesthetic to the Killjoy universe it desperately needed.

New characters like Punchy the Hobo Clown (The Behemoth) Played by Al "Mr. Outrageous" Burke, a dimwitted juggernaut who loves bunnies and speaks "carnie." A comic relief and bad-ass brawler also, this is what you do to make your movies better, create fun characters!

Freakshow the Mime played by Tai Chan Ngo, another creative character(s), he also has an undeveloped twin attached at his side! His twin can launch at his victim and drain them of blood, it's bloody horrifying, and he never says a word so you never know what he's thinking!

Batty Boop (The Succubus) played by Victoria De Mare, the sexiest demon in movies I've ever seen. Absolutely loved her in this movie, silly and sassy, great character! Wish she had more to do in the movie.

Killjoy (The Demon Clown) played by Trent Haaga, his performance in this movie made it a success, perfectly cast for this role, especially since he was in the last movie and it was way below par. The small bits and jabs by Killjoy are great!

The combination of the Writing, Directing, and cast made this movie a glowing example of how to do it better! And with the low budget no less, creativity is the key, and actors who can sell the characters on screen!

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.

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.

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

House-sitting for a professor, a group of friends receive a magical mirror containing Killjoy and his brethren of demonic clowns inside who lure them within to torture and kill them forcing them to find a way of stopping the creatures from satisfying their urges.

This one here was quite the enjoyable and impressive entry in the series. One of the better features here is the fact that this one carries on the series' utterly funny and twisted mangling of the traditional clown torments that are featured throughout here. There's plenty of utterly demented clown puns and sight-gags that are present which are just the right side of morbid to be hilarious while managing to go for a rather frantic series of encounters which are truly demented and somewhat chilling as well, from the one-sided boxing match between the clown and one of the group, the spiraling stairway that keeps twirling around in on itself and the whole dinner basting sequence that features the clowns lavishing her with all sorts of broth and vegetables in preparation for a feast makes this seem like a truly demented and disjointed killer clown effort. Likewise, the finale in their dimension where it goes for the seduction of the group by the two clowns, the different brawling tactics over the dinner preparations of their friend while the whole affair descends into a massive fight with their super-powerful weapons being utilized in a demented yet rather silly manner. With all these providing this one with some solid and rather fun gore effects for the different kills, these here make this one quite an entertaining blast that works well in holding off the few minor flaws here. The biggest issue with the film is that it really doesn't seem to have any kind of coherent plot line present, tending to go bouncing around from scene to scene without much connection between them. Once the mirror arrives and the kids are aware of the creatures within it, they don't tend to do anything which really sets it up from the beginning of how the film begins bouncing around without any sense of coherence and it's quite a goofy set-up to have this carry on throughout the whole film. The other rather big problem with this one is the rather obvious goofy and cheesy time throughout here, from the outrageous creatures, the set-up in the clown's dimension and the wacky action that ensues here doesn't really have a universal appeal in which will allow everyone to get into it easily. It's mostly for the fans of these particularly goofy and cheesy types of efforts only who will get these types of efforts. These here are what hold it back.
