KILLJOY'S PSYCHO CIRCUS

Cinemavixion Review

In "Killjoy's Psycho Circus" (2016), director John Lechago unleashes a chaotic blend of horror and dark comedy, starring Trent Haaga as the titular demon clown. The film plunges viewers into Killjoy's increasingly jaded existence on Earth after two years of terrorizing mortals. Seeking to reignite his passion for mayhem, Killjoy launches an interdimensional reality show, the "Psycho Circus," a deadly spectacle designed to torture human contestants for cosmic amusement. However, his grand scheme is complicated by the emergence of formidable extraterrestrial adversaries and, more pressingly, signs of mutiny within his own demonic troupe, featuring Victoria De Mare and Tai Chan Ngo. The narrative deftly weaves between Killjoy's struggles to maintain control of his show and his crew, while also introducing a cosmic trial for Beelzebub, adding layers to the burgeoning conflict. While the film may not boast critical accolades or widespread critical acclaim, it offers a unique, if at times B-movie-esque, dive into a demonic clown's existential crisis and his escalating battle for supremacy. "Killjoy's Psycho Circus" is a wild ride for those who appreciate unconventional horror with a penchant for the absurd and the grotesque.
