Killjoy 3

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.

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.

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

What essentially hurt the Killjoy movies was the first 2. Part 1 was awful and 2 wasn't much better. Killjoy 3 turns this around and does what the franchise should have done with to begin with. Gone is the urban setting. Gone is the shoestring budget. Gone is the horrid script. Gone is the annoying main character. This one actually makes Killjoy ghoulishly demonic and semi menacing. The story evolves around Killjoy being resurrected once again but not told the victim he is to kill. So in turn he and his newly formed minions are trapped in a mirror which serves as a portal to their world. The mirror gets delivered to a house a group of kids are house sitting and as you can guess they get sucked into Killjoy's world. Full moon seemed to set out and make a decent Killjoy movie which they did. Is it great? No but its entertaining. Killjoy's minions are also a welcome addition (especially Batty Boop) and add some to the movie. Granted this is for fans of the genre or fans of full moon but it works in its own way. 5 out 10. Hopefully these movies keep going this route. It seems Killjoy can't be kept down.
