I have to say, I am judging this movie based off what it is. Five years ago when "Hustle and Flow" came to theaters people spoke highly of it....why? Because it was a movie about a low-life pimp that had dreams of becoming a famous rapper, with key songs like "Whip that trick" and "Hard out here for a Pimp"......so taking all things into consideration, it was a good movie because when you are telling a story like this, they did the very best they could, and Terrance Howard's performance was captivating.....moving now to a smaller scale...a much smaller scale.
Killjoy 3 was a third installment to an extremely sup-bar horror series made by one of the most industrial sup-bar production companies of all time. It's no secret, Full Moon's Charlie Band is more of a good business man than a good filmmaker. His budgets are usually 100K, and they usually make 10 times that....smart guy. It was also a movie that did not feature a single name actor. Yes I know Darrow Ingus has worked in movies for decades, yes I know Spiral Jackson is a young and up and coming actor, yes I also know Trent Hagga is an established writer....but I only know that after looking every single one of them up on multiple sites, and if I wasn't reading their names off the stationary as we speak, then I still wouldn't know how to spell them! To make a long story short, for as many strikes as this movie already had against it, it was good.
The story was eh...the duologue was pure, but the execution by directed John Lechago was well done.
The make-up, I give an A+ obviously the best feature in the movie was the work done on Freakshow, Batty, Punch, and the name character himself. The blood on Zilla after he gets beat up by Punchy is also very well done, as he is on the floor coughing up blood.
The acting, the best performance obviously goes to the name character, Trent Hagga returned as Killjoy only to improve upon the character, in a lot of ways he reminded me of the Dark Knight's Joker. The Proffesor holds his own as well, with a high authoritative presence, you can tell we are looking at a seasoned actor. I must say, out of all the characters in the movie, Zilla is the only one I actually wanted to see stay alive, of course we all knew it would be Sandy. Spiral Jackson really made me like this character as I could see him coming back for a fourth installment: Killjoy 4, Zilla Revenge!
