The Jester (II) (2023)
2/10
Not the worst of the year, and isn't that a shame?
27 December 2023
Nothing original, nothing special, pretty cliche nonsense. Sure the acting is okay, and the story okayish, but completely lacking that oumpff one look for in a good scary movie.

The main problem with this movie is that it sort of tries to be funny, it sort of tries to be scary, and it sort of tries at setting up a world to build upon. It fails on all accounts. Probably because it tries all of it. If this would have been more focused it probably could have been better. Another thing that bothers is the bad camera work and the horrid sound design. If there is one thing a good horror movie need it is a good sound design.

This is not all terrible. I can even see a few glimmers of light, but since the movie fails at all it tries to do and the few slight positives cannot weigh over the scale this becomes a chore and it feels like the movie is 3hrs despite only having 1h and 20min of runtime.

A 2/10 and sadly this is not the worst movie of the year, this is not even the worst movie I saw this week. Isn't that sad?
