Mr. Jingles

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.

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.

Forget about the total lack of believable plot. And the acting was about the level of a junior high student film. "Goodness, my father has hit in the head with an ax. I must fall down now. And now I must go insane for a few years." Ha ha. The celluloid film quality is only a little better than super-eight film, and the sound is no better that a hand-held Radio Shack tape recorder. Skip this and find some Steven King. This could have been an idea that worked out if they handled the contrasts correctly--an orphaned teen seems non-chalant instead of horrified, police act mildly amused as the shoot the clown in the opening sequence, and the omni-present blood looks like day-glow silly string It doesn't have enough bad lines to be accepted as camp, just faulty cinema.

I see it's been said, but if you need some more reassurance, do not watch this movie.

Plot seemed simple, Killer Clown out for revenge.

When you see the words "killer", most assume that the movie is a horror, or at least a suspense. Maybe I was too busy laughing, but I didn't find a thing scary about this.

Some of the worst camera work I've seen. In one shot, I could even see an UN-cleaned spot on the lens.

And the acting, my god, a Razzy would be too good for it.

An obvious low budget amiture movie
