dirb This film is broken on every level, the acting is horrible and cringe inducing, the visual effects look like a 2006 YouTube video, the story is nonsensical and, the whole movie works more as a comedy than a horror movie. (Bad pun incoming) This movie killed any and all joy I had before watching it.

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!

Sorpse one of the worst movies i have ever seen. There are literally no redeeming qualities to these movies. I watched the first and was bored as hell. I understand what full moon pictures is all about and can find something interesting in some of their movies. I thought gingerdead man was hilarious and killjoy follows in the same vein except that it is not funny at all. Terrible production, absolutely brutal acting and the kill scenes arnt even good. I think the first involves a guy turning to ash from ugly cg. I didn't like the first at all and fast forwarded through the second just to see if it was basically the same garbage and it does appear that way. I will be pawning these movies off.

mikemdp Sometime after Hattie McDaniel became the first African-American to win an Oscar for her role in "Gone with the Wind," someone asked her if she felt she had done a disservice to her race by playing a maid. Her response was something like, "Better to play a maid than to be one."The urban horror film "Killjoy" seems to have been written and produced specifically in that mindset. An inner-city take on the traditional supernatural stalker movie in the "Nightmare on Elm Street" vein, "Killjoy" concerns a demonic clown who exacts revenge for the violent murder of a young man who dared to talk to the girlfriend of a sadistic gang member.Almost every negative urban minority and female stereotype is present here. In the ghetto world of "Killjoy," most African-American and Latino males are violent, drug-obsessed gang members, and most women adore the wrong men and get naked all the time. When confronted with something that puzzles them (for instance, a murderous demon clown), the reaction most often of the male characters is a posturing, strutting "Yo, cuz? What the f***?""Killjoy" makes you feel sorry for its actors, who are obviously compromising everything they believe in as the grandchildren of the Civil Rights Movement to pay their bills with their salaries as performers here.And folks, there are some talented people in "Killjoy." Arthur Burghardt, who played a doctor on "One Life to Live" and an attorney on "Knots Landing," is here reduced to playing a magical negro (Spike Lee's term, not mine) homeless man who, somewhere in the middle of the movie delivers a monologue which does nothing but summarize the entire first half of the film that came before it, clips and all. That's right - "Killjoy" is so condescending to its audience that it assumes its viewers couldn't even pay attention for its first 45 minutes."Killjoy" isn't awful cinematically. There's some eerie, atmospheric filmmaking present here which services the story nicely, if in an unremarkable way. Killjoy, as a character, is sufficiently creepy (but really, it's not all that difficult to create a creepy clown, and a zillion movies have done it a zillion times better).But what "Killjoy" truly represents as a movie is the sad reality of the racist nature of the American film industry. Really, how many positive, hopeful, truthful stories can be told about urban American life by Hollywood? But how many are? How often are black and Latino actors required to play stereotypical or negative characters in movies, and how representative are those characters of the true population of those minorities in the United States?That's the saddest part of all. The makers of "Killjoy" could have explored horror and terror in an inner-city environment in a truthful and honest way without perpetuating negative racial stereotypes. Look, for instance, at a film like "Candyman" for well-executed, terrifying urban horror that has the confidence in itself not to fall back on the unfortunate and unjustified social fears of the white majority.Actually, I take that back. The real saddest part of all is that "Killjoy" spawned two sequels.
