Film Review – KillRoy Was Here

“KillRoy Was Here” is an attempt from co-writer/director Kevin Smith to create his own movie maniac. In this case, he takes inspiration from a famous offering of graffiti art from World War II (identified in the effort as “the first meme”), turning a doodle into a dangerous individual, and one who has a special relationship with children, often protecting them from harm. KillRoy in history and popular culture makes sense. “KillRoy Was Here” often doesn’t. It’s an anthology feature that feels unfinished, delivering four tales of terror(?) involving various predators doing their worst in Florida, with prey looking to the fury of a monster to help right all the wrongs. Smith and co-writer Andrew McElfresh (“White Chicks”) have an idea for the creature, but they don’t have a picture to back it up, with the endeavor’s short run time (63 minutes) turning into a long slog of half-baked chapters and no-budget filmmaking.
