One of my all time favorites.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Whoever thought it was a good idea to make this movie and put their name on it should be pitied...Mr. Jingles is, so far, the worst horror movie I've ever seen. It's shot like something that belongs on America's Funniest Home Videos. Everything looks like it was filmed by a $10 camcorder with a piece of sandpaper over the lens. The effects are what you'd expect from a low budget piece of trash like this. Everything looks like it was brought at Walmart, and they overuse the fake blood so much to the point where a gallon of the stuff will pour out of someone's mouth from one stabbing. And if all that somehow doesn't take you out of it, then the cheesy stock sound effects and horrible acting will. Not a single character in this video has any more personality than plank of wood for Mr. Jingles to plant his axe in. The only one in the movie that seems to have any acting skill to speak of is the titular killer clown, who is perfectly over the top and cheesy and makes the film much more of a comedy than a horror movie. And if you are looking for a horror that's so stupid and terrible that its funny, then Mr Jingles is perfect for you.

I haven't seen Manos: the Hands of Fate, but I have seen Ed Wood's immortal classic, Plan 9 From Outer Space; I have seen the phenomena that are called The Room and Troll 2, along with a number of other not- so known titles of the same calibre, or lack thereof. Ja, those are S—— movies with a capital S, especially that experiment gone wrong, The Room. But I have seen another "movie" that tests your movie-watching mettle as much as Tommy Wisseau's "dark comedy," dark comedy in quotations.That movie which I have weathered on more than one occasion, and that I proudly own, is called Mr. Jingles. This is one of those rare and even more tragic cases where the DVD box-art is better than the whole movie three times over. If the art on the box caught your interest, then you're in for a *big* surprise. Ho, ho! And I don't mean that in a good way.The plot: Mr. Jingles was accused of kidnapping and murdering children, was sent to the clinker, endured "all the torture, all the rape," to be had in there, learned the dark arts, eventually broke out, terrorized the witnesses who, apparently, were instrumental in his conviction, only to be shot by the same fellows who apprehended him the first time around. But it turns out that Mr. Jingles was innocent! (Ah-hah! The plot thickens!) And that his being in prison was an attempt to cover-up the hushed-up fiasco of convicting the wrong fellow in the first place. Having used the dark arts, Mr. Jingles' dæmonic effigy returns to—er?— seek revenge again. His main interest is in Angie Randall, who narrowly escaped Mr. Jingles' ax on the same night the latter murdered her parents.We learn all these details in two dreadfully long-winded and soporific exposition scenes couched in bad acting. It's like taking horse tranquilizers and then watching a train-wreck. You could say that about the whole movie, in fact. In any case, Mr. Jingles is all talking and no walking; and when we do get to the walking what we get is a cold and sloppy Taco Bell taco—not Taco Palenque. If you know where I'm coming from, you'll get the analogy. Others will be lost. In other words, it's bad. It's bottom of the barrel, and then two barrels below that one. The acting is laughable (The M.D. who does Jingles should consider sticking to his day job.), the special effects are cringe-worthy (You'll love the famous "gun scene" in the very beginning.), the pacing makes an eighty- minute movie feels like a three-hour movie, the script seems to have come from another planet where the aliens there do very bad impressions of humans, and the music will literally put you to sleep if you haven't injected yourself with three hits of Redbull for an entirely new movie- watching experience.If you've a bad case of coulrophobia that you can't shake, then I have wonderful news for you: buy this movie. If you're a movie-enthusiast, then it is your duty to watch this, that way you'll think twice the next time you dub the latest theatrical release as the worst-movie-ever. Once you've received your DVD copy, I suggest you make your popcorn during the opening credits, which last for roughly five minutes. If you've no popcorn, fast-forward and get right into this mess. One extra point for effort!Zauber Zerão, die zauberkatze

OK, oh boy. Mr. Jingles. The first thing i should state about this movie is that, if you're expecting a low budget classic where the script showed some heart and is actually a fun, mildly creative horror movie such as Satan's Little Helper, not only will you be disappointed, but you will want to subsequently shoot the TV, take out the DVD, chew it up, and spit it back into the DVD case and then return it to the store. However, if you walk in knowing it's going to be crap and you want a laugh, then this movie is gold. Why? Because mr. jingles is quite possibly one of the cheapest, most poorly made movies i've ever seen in my life. And, what a shocker, it's released by Lionsgate. Once again, i love the misleading cover art. all right, enough intro, let's get onto the plotIn the beginning we're introduced to the backstory of how mr. jingles randomly went through people's houses and killed them. He makes it to this girl's house and kills both of her parents. the father with two axes to the head that look like plastic and horrible editing, and the mother (my favorite in the movie) where she dumps what look like pig sausages out of a hole in her shirt which are supposed to be intestines. now this is hysterical because once she dumps them, you can actually see behind the hole where the intestines were supposed to fall out and you can see her skin, perfectly intact. quality. anyway, apparently this is supposed to be our lead actress as a child being scarred by mr. jingles. the only problem is, they use the actress for when she's grown up. what? they couldn't afford a 10 year old actress? apparently not.The police come, and shoot mr. jingles with the WORST sound effect of a gun i've ever heard. they couldn't even afford a fake prop gun? THE HELL WAS the budget on this movie? two bucks? a cap gun with smoke would have worked better! they cost 2.50 at Walmart! i don't get it! there's no excuse. But it IS hysterical.then we flash forward to the present. apparently the girl has grown up and finished rehab. She is going to live with her cousins and aunt. and of course the cousin and his friends do nothing but have sex and do drugs. now, if i didn't know better, i'd think that people who make movies were NEVER teenagers. We don't all do drugs and have rampant wild sex, we don't bust into a fully choreographed dance number in the halls, and we don't have hierarchies. Get your facts straight. So the cousin's friends feel they have nothing better to do than dress up like mr. jingles and scare the crap out of her.Meanwhile the cop who originally shot mr. jingles meets up with a crazy bum and the mayor (who is by far the worst actor in this movie btw) and the bum tells them how mr. jingles is back and is going to kill more people. he's back because.... i don't even know. he just is. the bum then goes into this whole spiel about how mr. jingles has to be cornered by four candles and trapped in order to send him back to hell, and that the cop who killed him is the only one that can do it, but this side story is quickly forgotten as mr. jingles kills both of them and this is never spoken of again. WHAT THE HELL?! did they just make a way to stop jingles, talk about it for 20 minutes and then kill the guys who had a plan never to speak of it again?! you could have totally cut that whole segment out! it was POINTLESS! So after that, mr. jingles kills two of the drug friends in the woods with horrible editing and a fake dildo, and then we see the main girl's female cousin with the pancake boobs take a shower. and then she gets killed. huzzah. meanwhile the male goth cousin who has been saying that maybe dressing up as the homicidal maniac who killed the girl's parents to scare the hell out of her isn't that smart of an idea (sound advice) but his notions of a conscience are quickly erased as his goth girlfriend seduces him and they get to lovin.Anyways, the girls have decided to throw a party. Even though they promised the aunt they wouldn't. So the goth girl dresses up as mr. jingles and is killed by him. while throwing the party, more stoner friends get killed and finally it's just the main girl and mr. jingles. and here's where the ending makes no sense. Mr. Jingles is holding two axes and stands there. then all of a sudden the girl is holding th axes. So...she's supposed to really have been mr. jingles i guess? but how was she fighting him? i don't know. the police come after the bodies are set up ala 'happy birthday to me' style around the table, and they lead the girl out to the cop car. However, after they do so, mr. jingles pops out. (rubs temple) roll credits.This movie is just awful. If this was actually meant to be scary, i feel bad for whoever wrote this. the special effects are abysmal and the plot just leaves loose ends. whatever happened to the candle thing? is she really not mr. jingles? how did he come back? i don't know, and honestly, i don't care.The acting, if you can call it that is something you'd expect from a car mechanic trying out for a shakespearean play. do yourself a favor. skip this one. unless you want to laugh your butt off. cause you will. with lots of loose ends, terrible everything, Mr. Jingles gets 1 shirtful of pig intestines, out of 10

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.
