Killjoy

Plot synopsis:
The film begins with a boy named Michael, a kid who has a crush on a beautiful girl named Jada but is always rejected because Jada is stuck with a gangster, Lorenzo (Johnson). When Michael comes close to her, he is beat up by Lorenzo and his homeboys, T-Bone and Baby Boy. But Michael is secretly involved in black magic, and tries to bring a doll that he calls Killjoy to life. After he is abducted by the gangsters and brought into the woods, Michael is accidentally shot and killed by Lorenzo.
A year later, Jada is now going out with a guy named Jamal who is similar to Michael. Lorenzo is going out with a girl named Kahara, who is just like Jada. When Lorenzo leaves to have sex with her, T-Bone and Baby Boy go get ice-cream. The ice-cream man, who's dressed up like a clown really sells drugs. Baby Boy and T-Bone hop in the truck but end up in an abandoned building. They split up to find a way out. Baby Boy gets rammed into the wall by the ice-cream truck, killing him. T-Bone starts smoking pot when suddenly, it starts to burn him, and his body vanishes. His corpse ends up back to his hide-out, along with Baby Boy's. Meanwhile, Lorenzo, after having sex with Kahara, hears something outside her apartment building, and goes outside to check. He finds the ice-cream truck and opens the door, and the ice-cream man pulls him in, and ends up at the abandoned building. After finding the ice-cream man, he confronts him and shows him the (living) corpses of T-Bone and Baby Boy; after they fade away, he shoots the ice-cream man dozens of times, but the ice-cream man sucks up the bullets (a spoof of The Mask) and shoots the bullets out of his mouth, killing Lorenzo.
Meanwhile, one of Jada's friends, Monique (Austin), calls Jada, telling her that some guy (Burghardt) came in to her room and needs them to come over. The homeless man tells them that Lorenzo killed Michael a year ago, and explains that Michael was brought back to life by the Ice Cream Man, whose real name's Killjoy, the doll Michael has, and tells them that Killjoy just killed Lorenzo, Baby Boy, and T-Bone. Then he tells them that Killjoy/Michael can be killed by Jada, because the love of a young woman can destroy the evil in the heart. Before leaving, he tells them that they have to kill the doll the spirit of the ice cream man came from, and the ice cream truck is outside.
Still not believing what the homeless man said, they go inside the ice-cream truck to check it out, and they end up in the abandoned building, where they're confronted by T-Bone, Baby Boy, and Lorenzo, who souls' are under Killjoy's control and are now his accomplices. The trio start fighting the accomplices until all three are killed. Then Killjoy comes out and knocks Jamal and Monique out. He asks Jada for a kiss, upon which Jada agrees to do so, under one condition: that he will leave her world and never come back. But instead of disappearing, Killjoy transforms into Michael. Michael tells Jada that he did it all for her. Jada, who desperately wants to stop Michael/Killjoy from killing, stabs Michael to death, and Michael fades away.
Jamal, Jada, and Monique are about to leave when Killjoy, Lorenzo, T-Bone, and Baby Boy appear behind them. Jada then remembers from the Homeless man that they have to kill the doll. The trio frantically run back into the ice-cream truck, where they end up in Michael's house, where the doll lies on the floor. The doll turns into Michael, who constantly begs her for forgiveness, but Jada continues to stab it. The earth starts to shake, and while Jada, Jamal, and Monique try to stay still within the circle of candles without breaking it, Baby Boy, T-Bone, and Lorenzo's souls are sucked into a portal. The trio then watch as Killjoy finishes off Michael (via vaporization), and the trio are sent back to Jada's room, where the homeless man thanks them, and vanishes, meaning he's an angel from heaven.
The trio decides to go out and eat, when they are confronted by Ray Jackson (Washington), and Tamara (Rochelle), who are both in Jada's English class. Ray says that he gained access into the club free because his brother owns the place, and his name is......Killjoy! The trio then see that Ray turns into Killjoy, and Tamara turns into Lorenzo. Killjoy starts laughing maniacally at the trio, with Jada screaming "NO!", until Jada wakes up in bed, along with Jamal, indicating that the entire experience was all a dream. Jamal tries to calm Jada down by going under the covers to perform oral sex on her, but then rises from the covers as Killjoy. The film ends with a shot of Jada screaming and Killjoy stating, "That was some good pussay!!!", followed by evil laughter.

Review:
And what Little plot there was, was revealed to us in the last 10 (maybe even 5) minutes of the movie.I can without doubt tell you that the sequel (released in 2001) is 10X better than Killjoy 1 by far...
There are a lot of different flavors of bad, and Killjoy is a veritable cornucopia of them.I guess this is supposed to one of them there "urban hip hop" horror flicks, featuring an all African American cast.
Little bid I know that later that same night i would behold the tragedy known as Ax'Em. Anyway, whoever thought this was a good idea for a movie is floating lifelessly at the shallowest end of the gene pull.
The acting is awful, there's barely a plot (but we are reminded in the middle of the movie by the black version of Crazy Ralph from Friday the 13th that there is a back story...the whole plot is summed up in about 5 minutes), the sound effects were no doubt courtesy of a Yahoo search for stock sound effects, and the special effects...not the worst I've seen; and since the movie is from 2000, with a low budget to boot, I'll let that part slide.Yet, at the same time, you'll find yourself laughing at everything.
Other distressing factors that contribute to its soul-sucking terribleness: the fact that it is a horror movie and the villain is just annoying (call it "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" syndrome), the deaths are lame, the plot twists don't make any sense, there is a bunch of unnecessary sexual content, and the film WILL NOT END.
Certainly a stylish and a somewhat seminal work in the Evil Clown genre, this film has influenced many other horror productions with good reason.
which was a big surprise judging by the trailer i saw and a lot of the negative comments here on IMDb. this movie has to be commended for it's revamping of the evil clown genre in a new age blaxploitation style of cinematic vignettes.the make up team for killjoy deserve a lot of credit, i haven't seen a clown that menacing since the TV adaptation of Steven King's IT!
the same show of respect goes to the colour co-ordination in the scenery, backgrounds and character clothing.sure it's not a Hollywood cgi gore-fest, but it has everything the average horror fan needs: black comedy, cartoon like protagonists, a charming villain, creative story lines with just enough predictability to make the viewing experience worthwhile and bringing the psychological aspect of fear into play rather than relying on low budget techniques for scare tactics.
I popped into Poundland the other day to get another low budget horror film and I came across 'Killjoy'...why not?
However, if you put all these reasons together you get a film that is so bad it's good - a cliché but no other term could describe this film - it's definitely worth watching for a laugh if not for the actual quality of the film.
When I rented it, all I wanted was to laugh at how horrible the movie was made, and how poor the acting was.
But it's one of those movies that's so bad that it's hilarious.The movie is set up to be good, clowns are scary as hell and the clown in this movie, killjoy, is made up to look pretty scary, but the plot, acting, directing, everything else you can imagine, takes it downhill, like I said it's still funny though.It's a great idea to watch it if you are drunk or stoned.
If ur high when you watch this you will not stop laughing.Killjoy is one of the funniest movies I've seen, I actually recommend renting it.
If you enjoy crappy movies like this that make you life rent terror toons and the ice cream man too..
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.
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.
I give this a 7 out of 10 only because of the not so good acting except from the Clown and the writer who makes a cameo in the film..
"Killjoy" features average horror direction, and, like most Full Moon releases, wrings the most out of its low budget as it can, but still lacks slightly because of it.
The most enjoyable character, of course, is Killjoy, who has the most definite presence in the film, particularly when he brings us to his "world" (located in an ice cream truck?!) and shoots off one-liners a la Freddy Kruger; the only bad thing about him is that he is rarely given a good shot from the camera (most shots of him are from the back), which is too bad, because, as mentioned above, the make-up job is spectacular.
Okay so I'm late on checking out this particular urban horror film but I didn't even know it existed until I ran across it in the horror section, simply to look for an old horror movie to check out for old times sake.
It's like funny horror that will probably scare anyone under 10,but it's way better than XX which holds title for me as "worst movie".
I got this movie thinking it was the movie It,(which I just saw,and it is also terrible)which i had heard was pretty good.Now, I said IT was bad, but Killjoy is just terrible.
Killjoy has to be the most annoying character I've EVER seen in a movie.
The only thing that matters is that this is the only movie I've seen that was so bad I couldn't even laugh about it.
The problem with this movie is mainly the acting, the clown itself the weak chemistry that the characters have with each other.The acting was terrible lets put it that way.
The movie is about a boy who summons a killer clown named Killjoy(big surprise there) to kill some guys that did him wrong.
So, if you feel like torturing your friends, or if you need to repay someone for all the evil they've done to you, I highly recommend renting this movie and inviting your victim of choice over one night.
I thought he was basically John Leguizamo's Violator after Jenny Craig.I thought some of the acting was ok (nerd guy, Killjoy, and one or two others) but there was something about the movie's timing or simply, quality that just didn't work for me.
A few good lines (that don't really work within the movie but WILL be funny about a week from now to think back on.) Make-up on Killjoy is pretty good..
Let me say now that this was the WORST i mean WORST movie i have EVER seen and the only thing i can say now is how in the heck did anyone in their right mind pay money to get this horrible peice of trash produced.
Every aspect of this movie, along with its unredeeming sequel, was absolute crap....from the acting to the dialogue to the special effects to the plot and directing.
And then u watch the Making of the Movie part on the DVD and u hear all the actors saying how they were so happy to be a part of this peice of garbage seriosuly this was the funniest thing ive ever seen and so i kind of have to say go out and rent this not because its good but because it is the funniest movie u will ever see....and unintentionally too.
It consists of low budget horribly corny films like Killjoy 1 and 2.
Killjoy is just plain bad, I have never seen a worse movie in my life.
Killjoy is the worst movie I've ever seen in my entire short life.The plot was stupid.
The acting is incredibly pathetic and the special effects suck!(Check out the so called "blood" when the one guy gets shot.Also, Killjoy is the most irritating killer of all time.HE NEVER SHUTS UP AND HE'S JUST NOT FUNNY HE'S NOT FUN.
When you look at the cover, you might actually think Killjoy may be scary in the movie.
I saw this film about a month ago, when i went down to my local video shop, to try and rent a really pants movie just to laugh at.
all i can say was ""IT" in the big city." KILLJOY: New Urban Chaos was a sweet deal for 7.99 at Best Buy. I reccomend this movie to people who like to watch really crappy rip-off movies.
The only reason why I actually rented this movie was because I was with three other friends and we all wanted a good laugh.
Even though we got a good laugh, the actual movie and acting was just pathetic.
The only time I would ever recommend "Killjoy" is when somebody just wants to laugh at a really pathetic film.
Anyway - Michael gets shot dead by accident which unleashes Killjoy (one year later, for some reason, who then goes on to lure people into his ice cream truck and kill them in a rather non-gory way.
I was scanning the D.V.D's and was looking at all of the extremely lame and fake horror films they produced until my eyes cast upon "Killjoy." Having nothing else to do that night and going on holiday the next day, I just bought this movie just for the banter and to see what the films Poundland produced were really like.
The acting was terrible with little/no character development, the plot, was just like "A Nightmare On Elm Street" gone Clown, in which a "villianous" character comes in and kills off one-by-one.
There is a scene where there is a fight with all different punching sound effects happening and all of the sound effects are out of synch with the movement of the "actors." One thing I have to say that is quite positive about the story is that the make-up used on Angel Vargas as the Clown, KILLJOY was good for a film of this standard but that's about all?
Watching Killjoy pounce around like a gay person on crack killing bad actors screaming like the people in The Sims and bad special effects is rather enjoyable.This is the best Killer Clown in the Ghetto movie ever.
That being said, Killjoy is the second worst horror movie I have ever seen.
But, a few days ago, I watched it again, and realized that it was one of the worst horror movies I have ever seen.
Second, this movie has the absolute worst acting I have ever seen in a movie, none of the actors give any of the crappy characters any life, and the unbelievably terrible script makes everything even worse.
At the end of the movie, they see Killjoy again, after they thought that they killed him, and the character says, "I thought we killed him." That, is a crap script.
This film is broken on every level, the acting is horrible and cringe inducing, the visual effects look like a 2006 YouTube video, the story is nonsensical and, the whole movie works more as a comedy than a horror movie.
The acting is horrible, the dialogue is cringe inducing, the story....did a six year old write it?You'd hope that at least the movie would make up for it's lack of everything else by making the monster...Killjoy...interesting.
Never heard of this film beforehand but seen it as a 4 movie set for £5 and thought can't really go wrong paying £1.25 per film.Finally got round to watching this the other day and i didn't quite expect it to be as bad as it was.
From the cover, Killyjoy looks like a terrifying clown who could easily create bloodshed amongst the protagonists...but this movie is anything but scary, or funny.
With laughable dialogue, bad acting, horrible special effects and a stupid plot line; this movie takes the cake.
His revenge comes in the form of Killjoy, a maniac clown with magical powers who proceeds to transport his victims to his evil domain before killing them in various gratuitous and incredibly silly ways.It's amateur night all round here, with some of the most stilted acting you'll have seen in a while, although I admit seeing some of those lousy effects of characters burning up or disintegrating did give me a chuckle or two.
Thus KILLJOY isn't the worst horror film after all, just a very poor one..
Well, I finally bagged a copy of the film for a mere 10p, and let me tell you, it was worth every penny (truth be told, I would have paid double that had I realised it wasn't quite as atrocious as I had at first believed).A very cheap and cheerful supernatural urban slasher with an entirely non-white cast (meaning that the black guy most definitely dies first!), the film stars Ángel Vargas as Killjoy, an evil wisecracking clown with very silly hair brought to life by occult-practising teenager Michael (Jamal Grimes) to wreak vengeance on the thugs who have been making his life a misery.Incredibly corny with a logic-free script, crappy sets, lousy special effects, weak performances, and virtually no gore, Killjoy is bound to disappoint anyone looking for a genuinely experience, whereas fans of hokey low-budget nonsense might just find that the trashy nature of the flick (which includes some gratuitous female nudity for good measure) makes for just about passable entertainment..
Killjoy the clown is incessantly annoying and more gay than scary.The only scene I liked in this whole mess of a movie was the scene where a woman's breasts are seen and the shower scene.
Her response was something like, "Better to play a maid than to be one."The urban horror film "Killjoy" seems to have been written and produced specifically in that mindset.
An inner-city take on the traditional supernatural stalker movie in the "Nightmare on Elm Street" vein, "Killjoy" concerns a demonic clown who exacts revenge for the violent murder of a young man who dared to talk to the girlfriend of a sadistic gang member.Almost every negative urban minority and female stereotype is present here.
This has to be one of the worst films I have ever seen, in fact probably the worst.How I stayed awake through this film I never know, the acting is non-existence, the quality of the camera work sucks its like watching a home movie that you make on a family holiday and the effects are just pathetic.Although this film is so bad its unbelievable, the DVD has a trailer for the film which i can guarantee will have you in stitches for weeks.I would advise everyone who hasn't seen this film to stay well clear of it..
the story was pathetic, a 5 year old could come up with better, the acting was an insult, the whole idea of a killer clown is so over done and this is a poor attempt at it, the camera work was lame, and the effects were probably bought in a joke shop.
In this abysmal horror movie a young man who is being picked upon by a local gang uses a voodoo spell to bring to life his only friend, a clown toy named Killjoy.
Killjoy was just entirely terrible, the special effects, the actors, the plot, all the people involved in this movie should have been executed after it's release.
Please don't waste your time, this movie isn't even worth it for the laughs cause it is so bad it's not funny..
Keep in mind I'm writing this as probably one of thew devoted fans of Killjoy-a horror movie that ends up being one of the most hysterical things I've ever seen.I have such fond memories of watching this movie and laughing my ass off.
Something everyone!There is a scene with Killjoy giving oral sex to a girl and saying "That's some good puss-aaay".Don't see this expecting a horror movie.
Utter nonesense, ridiculous script, horrible dialouge...oh, and i could just go on...the acting:  if you can call it that--not even passable by b-movie standards.And a sequel is in the works...Shutter to think...A boy who is picked on, with the help of black magic, had his little clown doll come to life and kill the people that made fun of him.
is it just me, when people all gang up on a flick saying "its the worst movie ever", the first thing you think is,"they havent even seen EVERY movie ever made....."killer clown fights gang-bangers, plain and simple.
To describe this in words the characters in the movie would understand, if you feel like watching Killjoy, even on a whim, you better chickedy check yo'self befo' you wrickedy wreck yo'self.
This movie was a really funny journey through the story of the dark clown known as Killjoy and his adventures to kill the evil guys who killed a nerd named mcahiel?
~SPOILERS~Killjoy is at the same time the greatest and worst film ever made.
I thought we killed him" "a motherf**king clown?!" But it is the standard of the acting which makes it even funnier, which is literally the worst I ever seen - on screen or otherwise, these people are not actors.
The filming was bad, the acting was horrible, and the dialog was just a nightmare.
Another reason why killjoy is terrible is that they make a sequel to the worst movie ever made.
Don't go looking for this movie,if your desperate to see a killer clown rent It instead.
Ok I first saw the movie Killjoy I was at a friend's house and we were watching other bad movie's like Chopping Mall.
Howe better to end such a flick?I also love the way they keep trying to slip in as much gangstaspeak as possible.People who like funny/bad horror movies: this is definitely for you!.
