Mr. Jingles

I am a man who loves bad horror movie but Mr. Jingles really was a disappointment to me. I really hope that this was not intended as a professional effort but as a student film it was somewhat above being a total waste of time. Assuming this is a student film and not a professional effort gives the film a 2 instead of a 1 in my rating.

The film is about a homicidal clown that comes back to haunt a local neighborhood after a past killing spree. Mr. Jingles antics and attempts at witty commentary do make the film almost comic but it is still hard to watch.

Effects and sound quality were terrible. I remember making films w/ a video camera in high school that were on this level. Please spare us from any future efforts. I am praying that Mr. Jingles will not come back to haunt us with a sequel.

I knew this movie was going to be bad, but not THIS bad! I think more money was put into making the cover than the actual movie. This is beyond bad. I mean, every second of this film is crap. The acting is so poor that its funny.. Well its funny at first, but after a few minutes it just gets annoying. Its like the actors try to be bad on purpose or something. Or are they all really that lacking in talent? I don't know, and i don't care. I wouldn't even call this a movie. They tried to make one, but they failed. Sorry dudes, better luck next time. Or maybe it would be best if there were no next time. Do not watch this movie. Seriously. Stare at the wall for an hour and a half or something instead.

I turned the move off after the lady dumped the handful of bloody potatoes in the opening scene. I should have guessed it was going to be this terrible when the opening credits read like those of a porno movie: "Tommy Brunswick". And then they just skipped the last names all together and only used first names... and then they skipped the first names and only used nick names. How on EARTH do people produce this crap and actually think they did a good job. This crap would do more bad for a producers reputation than it would good.

However, with all of this being said... this movie was still not anywhere nearly as bad as "Dungeon Girl." You must check it out, even if it's only to make Mr. Jingles look like an Oscar-winner in comparison. They both fall into the great-cover-tricks-you-into-renting-an-eye-gougingly-terrible movie category, but Dungeon Girl is far more terrible.

Typically when I rent a movie I look at the cover and read the back to see what it's about and if it sounds interesting i'll watch it. I rented this and the summary was very deceiving, this movie is probably one of the worst movies i've ever "attempted" to watch. When I say attempted I only watched 15 minutes because it was so bad. It's quite obvious the budget for this movie was about $35. It looks as if someone just grabbed their dad's camera and a few friends and made a very terrible movie and sold it to Lionsgate. Don't bother wasting money to rent it or even watching it on TV, although I think luckily for the world it won't be shown on TV.

This movie was awful, the acting sucked, the plot sucked, it just confused me, it skipped around everywhere, and the only time it even made since was the last 15 minutes, and even then, it wasn't very good. It looks like a homemade movie, that i could even do better with. i spent most of my time laughing, than being scared. This movie is not for a horror fan, the gore and everything looks like something and 8 year old kid would make and something you would buy at a Halloween store. The cover is more entertaining that the movie. i sat there in confusion on who would really produce such a movie. Do yourself a favor and use your money for something else.
