not the best, not the worst When I would go to rent a movie at the local video store I would come across KILLJOY (2002) but would never rent it because I knew there would be better. After about a month of just running past it, I decided to rent it. I waited until night to come and when it came I popped the video into the VCR.
When the film was over I thought: "not the best, not the worst." Most movies that I hate I just get them out of my head and never think of them again but this movie was different. It wasn't really that scary, and even though the killer clown Killjoy tried to make jokes, they werent funny.
The killer clown Killjoy's make-up was really good. His affro thing was sort of annoying but without that affro it wouldn't be KILLJOY. The teeth were really scary looking but just right. I thought that the atmosphere and scenery of Killjoy's world (or warehouse) was really great and just right for the movie.
The charactors though, should have been to acting school. They were okay, but they werent really serious about their roles. Lorenzo wasn't really as gangsterish as I thought he should have been and his two friends werent as serious as they should have been. As for Jada, she was pretty and nice but like the other actors she wasn't very serious.
The one and only thing that really bothered me about this movie was the final thirty minutes or the conclusion of the film. Through the whole film I was hoping that Killjoy would have been killed by a single person in a certain creepy way but instead (like I should have thought)the ending was gangsterish. In most horror films, the main girl usually kills the villain herself because it makes the whole atmosphere more creepy.
As for the overall rating for the film. I didn't think it was the greatest horror film, but I didn't think it was the worst. Actually, I would put this movie in my top twenty films maybe number thirteen or eleven. If you want a good film that is good and just alittle creepy, then this movie will be great. And before I end this small comment, I want to add that this movie had really scary music and sounds. -James
