Killjoy 3 (2010)

Killjoy 3 (2010)
Director: John Lechago
Where to get it: Full Moon Direct/Full Moon Horror

The demon clown Killjoy is resurrected once again, but this time he is not given the name of his victim and is trapped in his realm. Using a magic mirror he lures four unsuspecting college students into his realm where he can have his macabre fun! A mysterious man returns and we finally discover who Killjoy's true target is!

The first two Killjoy movies were more of an urban based affair. This time around Trent Haaga (writer of Deadgirl) puts on the paint for the second time, and it looks like we are going for a more based presentation with our excitement taking place from inside the house one of our characters is house-sitting and from inside the mirror. Also, Killjoy has some clown friends along for the ride with him. That adds more to the story, not much, but more none the less. I will admit that I've always liked Haaga under the paint more than the original Killjoy from the original movie. He seems to not only "get it", but he makes the character a lot more fun. I'd probably say his performance is the highlight of this one here. Mainly due to the fact that the first portion of the film drags on for a bit.

But once we get to the homestretch of the movie, business does pickup well enough. Heads fly off, people are eaten, and the plot has a pretty neat little twist if you've watched the other films before this one. Of course, the sad part of things here is we have characters that aren't that interesting, but I suppose it's a bit of a give and take. The film might not give you anyone to cheer for, but it does give you some comedy and Killjoy. more or less. is pretty funny as we get into the thick of things. I'd have liked a little more variety in things here. Perhaps more locations and the such, but what we got isn't terrible. I think fans of Killjoy might even be well satisfied overall.
