\"killjoy-3\"<\/a>\u201cKilljoy 3\u201d is a simultaneous rip off of \u201cWaxworks\u201d and \u201cNightmare on Elm Street\u201d as Full Moon works desperately to create a new horror icon. Killjoy is a character who, let\u2019s face it, could probably get his ass kicked by Chucky\u2019s son Glenn, if things got hairy enough. Nothing about \u201cKilljoy\u201d makes too much sense, but you have to admire how the movie tries its damndest to transform mimes in to terrifying villains. Set very specifically in one location, we meet four college students as they\u2019re preparing to have a get together one night involving drinks and horror movies in the house of one of their professors. Student Sandy decides to hold a gathering while he\u2019s away, oblivious to the fact that he just made a broken pact with Killjoy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After conjuring the demon for some kind of revenge that\u2019s never explained, some kind of ancient is delivered to the house which happens to be a portal in to Killjoy\u2019s world. Anxious for some kind of sacrifice, he begins luring in the students, all of whom he persists on punishing, but not entirely killing. With one of them being held hostage, they and the unnamed professor have to go in to Killjoy\u2019s world and try to save their friends. A lot of \u201cKilljoy 3\u201d is about padding and wasting time, with so much exposition and creating sub-plots that literally lead nowhere. We\u2019re even told that character Zilla has a crush on character Sandy, and nothing becomes of it.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not even sure why Killjoy requests a team of three demonic clowns to help him, if he really needs to lure people to his mirror for him to have any kind of power at all. It\u2019s kind of like Freddy Krueger requesting an army of minions when he\u2019s relatively powerless if people aren\u2019t dreaming. That said, Batty Boop has potential to be a fun side character if written well; it also helps Victoria DeMare is hot. Also, I\u2019m not sure what Killjoy does exactly. He spends a lot of time antagonizing the characters, and mocking them, but what kind of powers does he have as a demon? \u201cKilljoy 3\u201d is a silly horror comedy that\u2019ll inspire groans if only for its lack of narrative, and incoherent plot. You just know someone wasn\u2019t thinking things through when the major plot device of your movie doesn\u2019t even have a name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
