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!

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.

The entire Killjoy series is available for free on Tubi, and I caught Killjoy 3 last week. The series switches directors to John Lechago, who helmed the final three films. This one transitions from the first two and introduces some side characters for Killjoy to play off in his devious schemes. Some feel like a blend of Wimpy from Popeye and Harley Quinn from Batman, but they all bring a fun element to the mix. Sure, the storyline is weak, but the antics of the characters provide the real entertainment. I actually enjoyed Killjoy 3 and 4 (review to come) more than I expected, thanks to these new additions.

Are these great films? No. But will they give you a few chuckles and some worthwhile death scenes? Definitely. I'd give this a 4/10 and recommend the series to fans of the horror genre.

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.
