The Jester (II) (2023)
3/10
Flat Terrifier that tries for morality
4 May 2024
The Jester sets it's self with a supernatural element of a masked silent man. So Terrifier but spooky, except there isn't enough gore to equal Terrifier. And the overall tone and acting in the film maintains a slow, flat, two dimensional quality. Ho Hum. (And I'm not a huge fan of the Terrifier films either, but they pack a punch.)

The other element they added to The Jester is that there is a morality element to it. They try to humanize the characters. But, this just polarizes characters into one main quality without given much possibility for growth. Not that I'm looking for growth in a horror film, but when the makers add morality to the plot motivations, I would hope for something a bit more than this saccharine attempt of adding depth to this film.

So in summary, less bloody than Terrifier. Less tense than Terrifier. Trying to copy Terrifier and upgrade with characters and morality aspects. More flat of a film. Ho Hum.
