Setting aside the stylistic preference, The Jester 2 undoubtedly redeems itself after a lackluster first installment. Go to Full Review

3/5
The Jester 2 is no masterpiece, but it’s undeniably fun. As a spooky-season crowd-pleaser, it does exactly what it promises: tricks, treats, and just enough terror to keep you grinning.  Go to Full Review

...now I’m getting another movie with this villain, which I was happy to watch. But did they fix the stuff that didn’t work? Well, they did and they didn’t. Go to Full Review

The Jester certainly has an unsettling sadistic side which makes him both creepy and compelling. Sadly, too much about him remains a mystery. Go to Full Review

Maxine Sep 19 I love horror movies and Jester is an absolute must see. See more Donna Sep 17 The Jester 2 delivers on multiple levels. The directors message prior to the film was helpful and a meaningful way to frame the story. The special effects are impressive and elevate the tension and visual appeal of the movie. With strong performances across the cast, the film strikes a compelling balance between atmosphere, emotion, and spectacle. See more Kapen Sep 17 Great movie. Loved it. The actors were top notch. The special effects were so well done. See more Lini L Sep 17 I loved the movie! It was so much fun seeing a great indie film on the big screen. Im usually not into horror, but when theres a charismatic character like The Jester, Im all in. The mix of creepy Halloween vibes, and the atmosphere was spooky without going too far. The whole thing kept me entertained from start to finish... and that cherry on a top of the cake was the Making The Jester 2 took me behind of scenes, which is so cool See more H Sep 17 Walked out of the movie theater within 30 minutes See more Michael Sep 17 It was a good movie. I like seeing independent movies being shown in the theater. Sometimes it's nice to know movies can still be made without over the top CGI. See more Read all reviews
