Me and my friend were looking for a horror movie to watch while we ate pizza. We came across this movie and decided that it would work. At first this movie was incredibly bad and we were making fun of it while eating pizza but as the film continued we realized that this movie actually was trying to push on a message of hope. The problem is that the first half was so bad that by the time the middle of the film happened it felt off. Out of all the actors, the dad had a pretty good performance. I do think that, given a longer runtime more focus put on the likability of the characters, this movie could have been really well done. I also understand that the villain is supposed to represent depression and that feeling of guilt and sadness that you feel when you lose someone close to you but, just like with everything else in this movie, it just wasn't harped on too heavily until later on when the movie was nearing its end. So yeah. Me and my friend still had a good time but overall. . . . it could've been better. So yeah. 3½ skulls.
MEh. . . . . . . .
Was pretty surprised by this. I have a soft spot for low budget horror, so this was right up my alley. I keep seeing reviewers mention that the Jester is a metaphor for grief. I disagree slightly. Metaphor, yes. But not for grief. Guilt.
Pretty cool movie. I should’ve been in it. 😉✌🏾
There is much worse out there, but there are better out there too. A lesson in self responsibility, and overcoming your demons.
