Killjoy Goes to Hell (2012)
Delightfully Full Moon
This movie reminded me a lot of the glory days of Full Moon. First off, it's obvious that they had more of a budget. It's a full length, dare I say, quality production. There are actual special effects that make you smile instead of cringe. The practical make-up is very well done. The script/plot is coherent and often (R-rated) funny. (Trent Haaga especially has some damn fine comedic timing)It's all silly fun ala Beetlejuice but it IS fun. As in part 3, if you're looking for a bloody slasher horror movie you won't find much of it here. This is a fantasy horror piece that takes you to the bowels of Hell (in an elevator)and gives you some funny insight into Killjoy and his "posse". I was, however, glad to see that they all retained their threat level despite events. These clowns would still serve you for dinner in a hot minute! Can't wait to see Killjoy's Psycho Circus!
Killjoy 3 (2010)
Campy Fun
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.
