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

2/5
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] Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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

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. Go to Full Review
