The B-Movie Shelf

REVIEW BY: Jeffrey Long COMPANY: Full Moon Entertainment RUNTIME: 90 mins FORMAT: Screener PLOT: This time Killjoy is being accused in a court of Hell of not being evil, since he let one of his victims (Sandie from Killjoy 3) get away, and Killjoy must rely on his only chance of proving how evil he really is... get Sandie into Hell as his witness. REVIEW: After watching the first dreadful Killjoy movie, I never would have thought that it would get a sequel , much less three of them. But 12 years later here we are with Killjoy 4 about to be released, and the fine folks at Full Moon have sent an early screener copy my way. Killjoy Goes To Hell actually has what I feel is the most interesting plot of the entire series thus far – Killjoy is on trial in Hell for not being evil enough, due to getting defeated at the end of the previous movie . Alongside that, there's a second plot of Sandy, the lone survivor of that movie, now in a psychiatric ward, unable to s...

REVIEW BY: Jeffrey Long COMPANY: Full Moon Entertainment RUNTIME: 76 mins FORMAT: DVD PLOT: The demon clown Killjoy is resurrected once again, but this time he is trapped in his own realm. Using a magic mirror, he lures four unsuspecting college students into his realm where he can have his macabre fun. REVIEW: Killjoy 3 (renamed a couple years after-the-fact as Killjoy's Revenge) surprisingly turned out to be much better then the two previous movies , and came across as much more professionally-made. This is more along the lines of what Full Moon is known for (which granted, I suppose isn't saying much, but it's a huge compliment after watching the last two pieces of shit in this series). It's a movie like Killjoy 3 that I can come home from a long hard day at work, crack open a beer, and just put on to veg out to and have a bit of fun with. There's some great, inventive, gory kill scenes, good characterization, actual decent acting, and...

REVIEW BY: Jeffrey Long COMPANY: Full Moon Entertainment RUNTIME: 77 mins FORMAT: DVD PLOT: En-route to a run-down shelter they are set to renovate as community service, a group of juvenile delinquents and the two chaperones accompanying them run into a minor setback when their bus breaks down on a deserted highway in the middle of nowhere. When trying to find a phone, one of the teens is shot and the group finds shelter with a voodoo priestess. While trying to use voodoo to save their friend, two of the teens accidentally unleash the evil spirit known as Killjoy. REVIEW: Much like with the first movie , Killjoy 2: Deliverance From Evil also appears to have been filmed on a home video camera, with the video and audio that you would expect to come from such. Also like with the first movie, It takes way too long before anything happens in regards to the title character showing up (over halfway through the movie in this instance), and even after he shows up they complete...

REVIEW BY: Jeffrey Long COMPANY: Full Moon Entertainment RUNTIME: 72 mins FORMAT: DVD PLOT: After they murder a fellow teenager, a group of inner city high school students run afoul of everyone's worst nightmare: a killer demon clown summoned for vengeance. Killjoy the Clown kills bad guys and the innocent alike, and only Jada, a gifted student, can stop the killer in its grease painted tracks. REVIEW: I've always been a fan of movies made by Full Moon. Sure, their classic stuff is leaps and bounds better then anything they put out this day in age, but there are still some entertaining gems in the modern mix ( The Gingerdead Man , Puppet Master 9: Axis of Evil, Zombies vs Strippers ). However, Killjoy is not one of them. Hands down, this one of the worst movies Full Moon has ever made. The idea is pretty good (a killer vengeance demon in the form of a creepy clown hunts down members of a street gang responsible for a kid's murder), but it's u...
