Let me start by saying that I love horror movies, and I enjoy cheesy ones as well. Full Moon does make some really great trashy movies (The Puppet Master and Subspecies series for example), but this one is just plain trash. In fact, I'm very angry that 90 minutes of my life was wasted on this crap. The plot of the The plot concerns a guy who loves a girl whose boyfriend is a hoodlum. In order to pay the guys back after getting beaten up, the guy invokes Killjoy, some kind of killer clown demon to come take care of his problem. Well, nothing happens, and then the hoodlum and some of his partners kill the guy, and one year later, Killjoy pops up to wreak havoc. I probabaly just made that sound a lot better than it actually is. The movie has no continuity. In the first scene, the guy attempts to ask out the girl, but is then beaten by the hoodlum and his partners. Cut straight to a scene of the guy sitting in a circle surrounding by candles holding a clown doll and "calling on Killjoy". I couldn't figure out what was going on, like who or what is Killjoy? In addition, there's an ominous mystical man who looks entirely like a wino and gives no explanation of what Killjoy is and disappears in a flash of light (demonstrating some really bad SFX). This movie seems to get everything wrong. It takes its incredibably stupid plot seriously, the acting is terrible, the script is full of cliches and bad dialogue, not to mention the Killjoy character. After the movie wasted a good half-hour getting to him, any seriousness the movie is going to attempt goes down the drain when he opens his mouth. First of all, Killjoy laughs after everything he says...everything! And it gets really annoying when nothing he says is funny. If you're looking for a good horror movie, this is not it. If you're looking for a bad horror movie to make fun of, this still is not it, and if you're a full moon fan, notice that this an especially ripe turkey. In addition, there's a documentary included that is actually the only fun you might have with this movie. The seriousness of the actors and producers, who treat this movie as if it were CITIZEN KANE are laughable. Beware! The box makes this movie look like some trashy fun, but the only fun you'll have with this movie is hitting the eject button on you're VCR to get rid of it.

I'll second the other reviewers here... but first let me say I have been a Full Moon fan for years... this is not only one of their worst films, but one of the worst films by any large video production company I have seen. Zero redeeming qualities... bad acting, inane script, crap directing, and heck, even bad background music. DON"T WASTE YOUR TIME!

I saw this DVD cheap in a shop and was expecting to take home a modern day 'IT', made in the year 2000- relatively new. However, I should not have wasted my money. It is a low budget film, with a script written by a high-school student who obviously has NO talent. The costumes and storyline are awful and there isn't a scary bit in the entire film. Music is cheaply made by those that produced the film and even if it isn't supposed to be taken seriously- it's definately not funny! It is described as an 'ethnic' film in the making of it, meaning you feel as though its exclusive to black people with the jokes and dialect. I cannot believe they made a sequel!!!!!!

Killjoy is AWESOME. A bad plot, horribly over-done acting and Killjoy himself? A masterpiece of cheesy one liners, an even cheesier laugh and mystical evil powers that seem to increase exponentially as the movie carries onward. I'd highly recommend this if you are looking for a hearty laugh..I about died.

No, this film will not under any circumstances be nominated for an Oscar. It is incredibly low-budget, as if it is a senior class project for a TV productions class. But it's entertaining. You can pick out all of the horrible acting moments, or the non-existant special effects, cliches, etc.
My boyfriend works at Blockbuster so I didn't have to pay to see this, which is good. But I'm still glad I saw it. It's always nice to see how some people actually have pride in the horrible job they do.
Do not buy this movie unless you are like, Oprah Winfrey rich. Get something better. Something that actually had a snowball's chance in hell of being released in the movie theaters. Just take everyone's word for it--it's not good. But, if you like to point and laugh at people who are doing stupid things, you'll be entertained by it.

this movie has to be the worst movie i have ever seen in my life! it is very low budget, and just about everything about it sucks and is just all around stupid and worhtless and i hate it!
i admit that this movie may look interesting, but is definetely not even worth viewing. i rented both this movie and the sequel, and they both blow. the sequel is a little bit better, but still low budget and horrible. so in other words this movie is not worth watching, unless you want to laugh at how bad it is. and it IS NOT SCARY AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You purchase this at your own risk, but you have been warned by me and several others. This is just stupid -- real stupid. Acting is awful, script is awful, direction is awful. It's just plain awful. You have been warned.

Killjoy is a clown! And i have to say he's by far the funniest clown i've ever seen. Me and my Friend Leon (I have to give him a mention as he made me watch this epic) stumbled onto this work of genius by accident and so far we have yet to see an unintentionally funnier horror film, the work is just plain inspired! You may think im exaggerating but please buy it and you'll understand. The story is basically centred around a killer clown summoned up by a ghetto child but to be honest you don't really need to know the story as it's a piece of crap, it's all about the acting and set pieces which are truly awful in a laugh out loud way , it's magic. And to top it all off the disc also comes with a "making of" which in itself is hilarious. The director really does believe that he is directing a classic of "Night of the living dead" proportions. And the actors all think that it's there big break into "Hollywood". Its truly the worst film ever made and for that reason alone it stands as a classic. The word Turkey was born for this. Awesome.. Please buy it...and react and join the Killjoy Fanclub....

Alright.... I love horror movies.... they are the coolest.. now yes.. when I saw this I was not scared at all...But then I figured out that I was looking at this movie the wrong way. Killjoy has to be the best comedy ever written!! It isn't scary but I've seen this movie at least five times... and you can find some of the funniest things in it. So all of you that only gave one chance, please watchi it again, and laugh your head off. Just look at it as a comedy. Killjoy's hair alone is enough to make you pee your pants. So for Killjoy...Watch this movie.

I'DEPPRESSED I NEED A CLOWN,BOZO NO!,RONALD NO!,KILLJOY...HELL YEAH!THIS MOVIE IS NON-STOP FAKE BLOOD & GORE FULL-MOON GOODY!
