Killjoy (Trent Haaga) the psycho demon clown has settled on earth as a
semi-mortal and has become host of a late night talk show where his
interviews usually end with the demise of the interviewee - including
Killjoy actor Trent Haaga -, but he isn't getting much choice out of it
since his love interest Batty Boop (Victoria De Mare) has left him and her
replacement Luanne (Robin Sydney) is driving him nuts. But back in hell,
Beelzebub (Stephen F. Cardwell) is demoted from devil to demon for having
let Killjoy escape, and now to be promoted again, he and Jezebel (Lauren
Nash) set out in their spaceship to track him down and lure him to their
lair - and thus they send Batty back his way, then kidnap her to force him
and his assistants Punchy (Al Burke), Freakshow (Tai Chan Ngo) and Handy
(Tim Chizmar) to take to their rocket and try to free her - which can only
lead to chaos because one of them is playing for the other side ... Like
other series in the Full
Moon realm - most notably Queen
Bong, which gets several references here -, the longer it goes
(and this is Killroy's fifth installment), the less horror
and the more goofy, the more anything goes it becomes ... which somehow
works rather well as the whole thing this way manages to surprise the
audience with wonderful silliness, plenty of self-irony, topical humour,
and a welcome abandonement of formulaic storytelling. That said of course
don't expect a Citizen Kane like trailblazing film here, just a
little flick that ought to play rather well at parties, but that you might
also find something to laugh about while sober ...
