Guardian

Writer-director Colin Krawchuk saddles us with a poorly written, lead-footed plot delivered in stodgy lumps between killings.

Rated: 2/5

EscribiendoCine

An interesting character totally squandered and wasted, surrounded by mediocrity and a dearth of good decisions. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 4/10

La Nación (Argentina)

While it attempts to explore a relationship that strengthens amid panic, The Jester is a superfluous record of a figure who, far from frightening, is a lackluster copy of infinitely superior characters of the genre. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 2/5

Sunday Times (UK)

This American horror film has arrived in Britain too late for Halloween this year, and I’m not sure its bogeyman will be well enough remembered to inspire many costumes next October.

Rated: 2/5

Like Art the Clown, the Jester is a great, simple concoction that is creepy enough to enter the imagination of fans.

Rated: 3/5

Sunshine State Cineplex

With nearly a decade of shorts in the book, The Jester finally gets a showcase. The result is a mixed bag. It showcases Krawchuk’s talent as a visual storyteller but stumbles with disconnected kills.

Rated: 6/10

I can’t believe this director got away with ripping off Art the Clown. The movie comes off as if a teenager tried to come up with an original concept after watching Terrifier and this was the best they could do. Very bad, not good, not even fun.
