What Movie Wednesday: Killjoy (2000)

I'd say we're all agreed that dolls can be creepy- as can kids, right? Well, I think we can also agree that clowns are on the "Things That Shouldn't Be Creepy... But Are" List...

Michael was in love with Jada. Jada was dating a gangsta. Michael practiced black magic. The gangsta kills Michael. Michael's black magic brings a clown doll to life. Clown doll starts to kill everyone.

I'm not entirely sure what approach I should take with this review. Taking an slightly academic approach (my standard approach) would only give this dung pile of a movie more legitimacy and credibility than it deserves. Taking a witty approach would only make this excrement filled toilet film seem worthy of being seen for a chuckle. Taking a "rage quit" approach would only make it seem that this piece of cinematic fecal matter was worth being angry over.

It doesn't deserve legitimacy or credibility. It isn't worth being seen for a chuckle. It's not even worth being angry over.

I have nothing positive to say about it. The story felt like the writer had nothing more than a bowel movement on a blank page. The characters were simply pieces of badly written turds. The acting was on the level of the compost beneath manure- not even worth using for your vegetable garden. The camera work and editing were perfect examples of rectally rejected refuse, and disgusting diarrhetic discharge.

"Killjoy" is getting flushed into "The Ugly"... though it did give me a reason to look up different ways to call it a shitty film.

SPECIAL THANKS!

Meridian: Kiss of the Beast (1990)

Sometimes, a director/producer will surprise you- such was the case during " Terrorpolooza 2012 " when I watched Charles Band's " Meridian: Kiss of the Beast " Catherine Bomarzini has come home after her father's death. Needing company, she asks Gina to stay with her. Soon, the two meet a wondering troupe of performers that Catherine invites to dinner at her castle. Catherine find herself pulled into a love triangle and an ancient curse that only she can break. After watching movies like " Evil Bong ", and " Demonic Toys ", I really wasn't expecting too much from this Charles Band movie- but I was pleasantly surprised by it. The story is actually quite interesting with lots of potential for eerie scenes, and character development. It's a nice twist on the classic " Beauty and the Beast " story. It's a bit slower than most of Band's other works, but moves smoothly and draws you with it. I have to ad...

The Bat (1926)

This past " What Movie Wednesday " saw the first time that a silent film was chosen for me to watch and tweet along to... While staying at the mansion of the local bank manager, a group of people are searching for the money that had been recently stolen from the bank. Soon, their lives are at stake as well as The Bat searches for the hidden loot... and kills anyone who gets in their way... " The Bat " was originally based on a hit Broadway play written by Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood. Until recently, this silent film was thought to have been a lost film- as are many films from the silent era of cinema. Roland West went on to remake this film in 1930 as " The Bat Whispers "- which Bob Kane credited as the inspiration for the creation of Batman . I always enjoy the opportunity to watch silent films. Some are masterpieces of cinematic magic and creativity, while others are interesting as a reminder of how far we have come in regards to...

Grave Questions: Jessica Cameron

February is " Women in Horror Month "- a month in which to celebrate the impact that women have had on the genre and the industry- from writing, to acting, to directing and producing. Jessica Cameron has experienced the industry in all those capacity- making her a perfect choice for me to ask some " Grave Questions " of in order to raise awareness of the great women in Horror. Please not that this article SHOULD'VE been posted in February, but due to technical difficulties, we're putting it up now. Thank you. TCoT : Which female horror stars helped to inspire you to not only enjoy the genre- but to get involved in bringing scary movies to the world? Jessica : I literally said to my " Truth or Dare " producer, "If the Soska sisters can make " Dead Hooker in a Trunk " with nothing, then I can make " Truth or Dare ". So needless to say that those girls have been a huge inspiration in everything I do behind the ...
