Mr. Jingles

I am a man who loves bad horror movie but Mr. Jingles really was a disappointment to me. I really hope that this was not intended as a professional effort but as a student film it was somewhat above being a total waste of time. Assuming this is a student film and not a professional effort gives the film a 2 instead of a 1 in my rating.

The film is about a homicidal clown that comes back to haunt a local neighborhood after a past killing spree. Mr. Jingles antics and attempts at witty commentary do make the film almost comic but it is still hard to watch.

Effects and sound quality were terrible. I remember making films w/ a video camera in high school that were on this level. Please spare us from any future efforts. I am praying that Mr. Jingles will not come back to haunt us with a sequel.

I could only stomach the first 30 minutes of this terrible movie. Cinematography: F-; Acting: D-; Special effects: F-. This is definitely one of the worst movies ever made. My wife demanded (and received) a refund for the rental of this DVD. Don't waste your time or money on this dreadful production! The first 10 minutes of the movie is all credits. The producers knew that no one with any taste whatsoever in film would watch this movie to the end. After getting past the credits you are rewarded with something that looks like it was filmed with a cell phone camera.

If you are in the mood for a scary movie, do not watch this movie. If you are in the mood for a comedy, watch this movie. You will laugh at the effects and acting that went into the making of this film.

Typically when I rent a movie I look at the cover and read the back to see what it's about and if it sounds interesting i'll watch it. I rented this and the summary was very deceiving, this movie is probably one of the worst movies i've ever "attempted" to watch. When I say attempted I only watched 15 minutes because it was so bad. It's quite obvious the budget for this movie was about $35. It looks as if someone just grabbed their dad's camera and a few friends and made a very terrible movie and sold it to Lionsgate. Don't bother wasting money to rent it or even watching it on TV, although I think luckily for the world it won't be shown on TV.

Forget about the total lack of believable plot. And the acting was about the level of a junior high student film. "Goodness, my father has hit in the head with an ax. I must fall down now. And now I must go insane for a few years." Ha ha. The celluloid film quality is only a little better than super-eight film, and the sound is no better that a hand-held Radio Shack tape recorder. Skip this and find some Steven King. This could have been an idea that worked out if they handled the contrasts correctly--an orphaned teen seems non-chalant instead of horrified, police act mildly amused as the shoot the clown in the opening sequence, and the omni-present blood looks like day-glow silly string It doesn't have enough bad lines to be accepted as camp, just faulty cinema.

this movie is one of the worst b grade horror movies i have ever seen. the kills are just so stupid, it looked so unrealistic, and on top of all of that Mr. jingles is the most retarded serial killer ever!

at least other movies in this category are at least half way descent, in this case it had a bad plot, no set up, bad backgrounds, no noticeable actors, and a completely retarded killer!

worst horror movie ever mad don't waste your money on it unless you are a idiot and love fake kills and bad movies! this is by far the worst horror movies ever made, this an even worse movie idea than Jason x, which is saying a lot since i'm a huge Friday the 13th fan.

*if a horror fan do not watch, horrible is a disgrace to the genre.
