This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Simply Perfect
A Major Disappointment
The acting in this movie is really good.
This movie has the the makings of a 1980's cult movie. The colors were exceptional. 4 kids house sit for a professor when they get a mirror, a portal between 2 worlds delivered at their door. The other world had a Forbidden Zone quality to it. The professor shows up and they form a rescue party to go into the mirror to save a student being basted for supper.Far better than the first two. Good cult film.Parental Guide: Corny dialogue, sex, nudity, f-bomb.
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.Rated Unrated/R: Extreme Graphic Language, Graphic Violence and Brief Nudity.
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.
I liked the movie. Trent Haaga and Victoria DeMare obviously were having fun with their roles and they were the best actors of the bunch in my opinion.I do wish there had been a larger body count and some gore. What there was, was passable. I do understand this is a low budget flick so I forgive the non-gore, although Killjoy's make up was pretty cool. Another plus: the image/colors looked really, REALLY good on my HDTV. Some scenes reminded me a lot of Nightmare on Elm Street, but I can forgive that too.Kudos for getting Mr. Haaga back! I've watched all 3 films now, my favorite still part 2, followed by this sequel and in last place the first one.I would definitely watch part 4 if there is another sequel :-)
