Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
tiskec This movie was so dumb. The filming was bad, the acting was horrible, and the dialog was just a nightmare. I normally don't mind Full-Moon studios and the studio's cheesy horror movies. This one however, really sucks hairy bean bag. The clown in this movie really got on my nerves. His acting was so bad, it made me think of walking through the television screen and punching him in the face multiple times. This clown is a poor excuse for a summoned demon, that some kid brought from the bowels of hell, because he was getting his ass kicked all the time, and to avenge his lost love from this woman beater. Yes, that shouldn't be happening, it is a terrible thought. However, if you summoned this demon on the people who were bullying you in real life, you'd probably get your ass-kicked even worse, along with the stupid clown. This movie is SOOOO TERRIBLE! I can't even figure out how I actually sat through this whole entire film. It still boggles my mind to this day. I would rather stick salt coated tooth-picks into my eyeballs, than watch this crap ever again. I would never be that disrespectful as to recommend this to anyone and allow them to suffer from watching it.
Leofwine_draca Following on from the likes of DEF BY TEMPTATION and LEPRECHAUN IN DA HOOD, KILLJOY is an all-black horror film from Charles Band's Full Moon Pictures. It's also an resolutely terrible film in every respect, in which the paucity of the budget is apparent in every aspect of the film-making. The calibre of the script is matched by the sheer awfulness of the cheapie CGI effects.The story is a predictable piece of guff in which a young student is bullied by members of a low-rent criminal gang. His revenge comes in the form of Killjoy, a maniac clown with magical powers who proceeds to transport his victims to his evil domain before killing them in various gratuitous and incredibly silly ways.It's amateur night all round here, with some of the most stilted acting you'll have seen in a while, although I admit seeing some of those lousy effects of characters burning up or disintegrating did give me a chuckle or two. Thus KILLJOY isn't the worst horror film after all, just a very poor one.
Bezenby For f*ck's sake! This was torture.Some girl called Jaka or something is going out with Lorenzo, a local gang-banger/rapper who hangs around with T-Bone and Baby boy, who are a pair of stereotypical ghetto tw*ts. Jaka also has a stalker named Michael whom we're supposed to feel sympathy with, but he really does come across as some sort of stalker. Naturally, Lorenzo don't like Michael hanging around with Jaka, so he ends up giving him a kicking, which leads Michael to conjure some annoying bastard called Killjoy into the world to solve all his problems. The thing is, Killjoy is one of the most annoying horror monsters ever. Imagine Tim Curry's IT filtered through Michael Jackson's corpse via Chris Rock. Killjoy is total sh*t. Me, I am utterly, utterly terrified of clowns without a word of a lie, but I was not scared by Killjoy in the slightest. He just looks like a tw*t in heavy makeup. Anyway - Michael gets shot dead by accident which unleashes Killjoy (one year later, for some reason, who then goes on to lure people into his ice cream truck and kill them in a rather non-gory way. He kills all the gangstas and then concentrate on Jaka and her mates.This film is truly crap. After the initial establishing of characters and what not, it takes twenty minutes to get to the first kill, and it is all done in the most bloodless manner. Add to this the endless stalk and slash of the last half hour, and the truly sh*t ending, and you have a goreless, tame attempt to create a Freddy for the 'urban' culture, but all this does is make urban culture seem cheesy and hackneyed. Truly abysmal. The ending made things worse. It took me four nights to watch this crap, as I kept turning it off to do something more exciting. Take this as a warning - do not watch this film. It's truly crap.In the struggle of Man vs Film I would say man won. I didn't want to kill myself during this film but I would say that you would truly suffer if you sat through this one. It has very few redeeming qualities. And it spawned a sequel!
unemployedvirgin i really really liked this film. which was a big surprise judging by the trailer i saw and a lot of the negative comments here on IMDb. this movie has to be commended for it's revamping of the evil clown genre in a new age blaxploitation style of cinematic vignettes.the make up team for killjoy deserve a lot of credit, i haven't seen a clown that menacing since the TV adaptation of Steven King's IT! the same show of respect goes to the colour co-ordination in the scenery, backgrounds and character clothing.sure it's not a Hollywood cgi gore-fest, but it has everything the average horror fan needs: black comedy, cartoon like protagonists, a charming villain, creative story lines with just enough predictability to make the viewing experience worthwhile and bringing the psychological aspect of fear into play rather than relying on low budget techniques for scare tactics. and if you really wanna get critical, yes there were copyright free sounds used throughout the picture such as the infamous "open and closing jail door slam" or the "cartoon network like punch and kick combos" but for me the end result is still solid. i definitely felt empathy towards Michael, the lonely outcast that bares the brunt of bullies and solitude and struggles to find love in the one person who could possibly help get his life in a better situation.for the sceptics.....you like krusty the clown from the simpsons? did you like that one Halloween episode where he becomes an evil doll? have you seen the first hellraiser film by Clive barker? can average acting ability be enhanced in a teenage slasher flick during the year 2000? if you can answer yes to at least 3 out of those 4 questions, i recommend you watch this film - or at least give it a test drive for the first 20 minutes...then you can start giving a thumbs down to reviewer's comments and down rating a film to under 2 stars!!10 outa 10, only heard about it from various youtube videos, i've already downloaded the 2 sequels (which i'm now definitely interested in finding time to watch!!)
