Review of Killjoy (2000) by The V — 20 Apr 2014
In this Ghetto comedy slasher flick, a nice black kid who has a fixation with a certain girl is murdered by her boyfriend. The kid had a doll that he tried to bring to life through black magic. One year after the kid's death, a strange clown takes revenge on those that killed the kid.
The clown's name is Killjoy and he's not your family friendly clown. He's a demented, blood thirst one who uses tricks in killing off his victims. If Freddy Kruger were a clown, he'd be Killjoy.
They share the same wit and live in a nightmare world where they can do whatever they want. This introduction to the character wasn't that bad. It's low budget for sure, but the appeal I found with the whole movie was it's commitment to the character especially when played by Angel Vargas who does a great job as Killjoy.
Some of the acting is rather lame and terrible, but that doesn't sway too much from the enjoyment of seeing where this film was going. I would recommend this only if you're into clowns terrorizing people.
