The Jester

I remember watching a 10 minute short of this on YouTube around 6 or 7 years ago. It was clever, punchy and to the point. It worked as a short film, but just doesn't cut it as a 90 minute horror film.

There's not enough material to pad this out to a feature length film unfortunately. The 'Jester' doesn't seem as charming in this, that was one of the great things about the short version, he was a quirky, seemingly harmless fun and somewhat charming character who would ultimately do bad things and that worked. Here, right from the off, he's seen as some obviously sinister threat with absolutely no charm whatsoever.

Unfortunately the short on YouTube was so well received that many commenters were crying out for a feature length film. Well, they got their wish, and i hope they're happy, because this, is sadly very poor in many ways.

Idk what everyone has been going on about. It's a good B starting and C ending right before Halloween movie. The Villian is great. Great costume and the character is creepy and well thought out. Obviously a small Budget, but overall I think they did pretty good with what they had to work with. A little gore here and there. Some humour. Nothing too unexpected. If anything it was a little unexplained towards the end or lost it's luster a bit. There are way worse movies out here that just have a kid screaming "Babadook" Annoyingly for over an hour that got better ratings. That one I wish I had a heads up it was that annoying. Good B flick 👍

I am a big fan of horror films. So I love to support independent horror movies. So, consequently I noticed this one could be interesting as very similar movies like the great Terrifier. But I was wrong. This can not be categorized as a cheap copy of Terrifier.

First, The Jester as a villain is great. I mean for a b-horror is acceptable. I've watched tons of worst things, including Zombie's strippers. Yes, it's a movíe. So, the big letdown here is the script. It's only interesting 15 minutes. Then it becomes incoherent and impossible to believe if your brain still works. A lot of plot holes, bad acting and the ending is ridiculous.

Second, overall the whole thing is a mess. A wasted opportunity to create something at least decent. So, much potential wasted. C'mon.

Last, I do not recommend this one, even for people that need to choose between washing dishes or watch this abomination.

The movie is good until 3/4 the way through and then, it gets confusing. It lost me. I got bored. The Jester guy is a great villain. I wish the rest of the movie was better. I can't put my finger on what it needs. Something is missing. Maybe better music would have given it more momentum? They could have added more Jester scenes and lost some of the boring conversations. The actors were good. The special effects were great. There was some really creepy stuff. It is a great movie for Halloween. I enjoyed the atmosphere. I couldn't tell what was real and what was here imagination and then, I didn't care. It's too bad. I really wanted to like it.

Honestly what in the ever loving flip was that? Whoever wrote this film should never ever ever and I can't express this enough EVER step foot in a writers room again. It was terrible. I mean it was so bad I can't even give it extra stars for the kills that were somewhat good because the rest of the film was just bad. It's a cheap knock off Terrifier and that's pushing it because it couldn't touch it with a 1000ft barge pole. Honestly don't waste your time

Don't even get me started on the acting either. They literally killed off the only person who can actually act in the first five minutes.

I didn't pay a penny to watch this film but I feel absolutely scammed. I honestly would have rather spent my time staring at a wall doing absolutely nothing than wasting my time with this absolute rubbish. I'd give it a 0 if I could.
