The Jester

Buckle up, my fellow horror fans, because I've just stumbled upon a film that left me in a state of speechlessness - and not in a good way, mind you. Now, I'm not one to write reviews, but this cinematic atrocity has pushed me to do so.

I was feeling generous, so I'm giving a single star towards its well-executed special effects, but in a world where 2023 has raised the bar to sky-high standards, this film barely scrapes the term 'special.' Plus, there's a creepy-looking villain who could easily be mistaken for Art the clown's less intimidating cousin from Terrifier.

Let's talk plot, or should I say, the lack of it. This movie's storyline is so nonsensical that it doesn't deserve the dignified title of a plot. It's a baffling puzzle where every piece is missing, and trying to make sense of it will give you a headache.

To make matters worse, the entire cast of characters in this disaster is a parade of annoyance and unlikability. I'm convinced these actors are the remnants of a bargain-basement, last-resort acting class, and their performances are more cringe-inducing than a middle school talent show.

The dialogue is an absolute chore. It's not the kind of bad that'll have you in stitches like Tommy Wiseau's "The Room," but it's the bad that leaves you scratching your head, wondering how in the world this film ever got the green light.

And let's not forget the most essential part of a horror flick - the scare factor. In this case, there isn't one. It's as if the film-makers tried to conjure terror from a hat (literally), but all they pulled out were a few rabbits that looked more bored than frightening.

To sum it up, "Do Not Waste Your Time" should have been the official tagline of this cinematic disaster. This movie isn't scary, it isn't funny, and it makes as much sense as trying to solve a Rubik's Cube with oven mittson. Save yourself the agony and find something else to watch - anything else.

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.

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.

If you're looking for a well written, and directed movie, this ain't it! Could easily contain some of the worst writing and direction ever. You've got girls, boys, and men crying minus a single tear...what!? It's called an eye dropper and water guys, it's practically FREE!!

The Jester himself admittedly puts on a talented performance, and you can tell it's ALL down to the actor themself. My guess is that this person is a preforming mime magician, and if they're not, they'd make a very good one. There is simply not a single shred of support from the writer and director to found in the entirety of this movie. Because of this fact it seems like the movie will NEVER end, and believe me when I tell you, that IS the scariest thing about this movie.

The story line is a rambling, confused, and an ill contrived mess. I dunno, maybe this is why the Jester is POed, cause goodness knows that there is no other motive or justification made clear.

For those critics (the movie's crew without a doubt) crying about how because this film wasn't a high budget project no one should be complaining, but rather should be drinking beer and eating popcorn...What!? Really? I got news for you thick-skull and inebriated, movies, despite their budget, are either a) Good, or b) Bad. This movie takes option b) to a whole new and unquestionably TRAGIC level.

Writing, 1 star Directing 1 star (and I'm being generous!) Acting .5 star Originality 0 star Fright 0 star Total, an exceptionally generous 2.5 stars.

Downloaded, watched for 1 hour, stopped. Another day another 10 min, stopped and decided to finish watching the rest.

Not scary, acting a bit poor by some actors. Actor on pretending to be Jester did a good job comparing to other actors and they picked wrong actress as supporting actress for Jester.

Don't really know what else to say because it's literally boring movie for most people. I watched over 1k movies and I do like a good horror movies but this is far away from a good horror movie. I think as well huge mistake was on making all deaths slow because made feel movie as even more slower...
