Have you ever gone into the movie rental place and seen a movie that looked so stupid that you just had to rent it to see how incredibly stupid it was? No? Well I do that, and that is how I happened accross the horrible atrocity that is Mr. Jingles.
Not since Jack Frost 1 or 2, Santa's Slay, or even Pinata Survival Island, have I seen such a bad horror film. It's not quite as awful as Gormet Zombie Chef from Hell, since it is somewhat entertaining to watch, but Mr. Jingles very nearly crossed the line.
Story: Once upon a time, there was a guy who went to jail for no reason, then he got out, decided to dress up like a clown and kill everyone who put him in jail, and their families. The cops kill him, and now some girl who survived is a lot older and trying to get on with her life, however Zombie/Clown mr. Jingles has other plans. (and by the way, Im not giving away any of the movie in describing this, its allll on the back of the box.)
Good: uh... yeah, Im sure there was something good about this movie... what was it... Oh! There's some generic rock band music at the very beginning that sounded ok... yeah! thats it. The movie is strangely hypnotic, you kinda want to see what horrible acting will happen next and what kind of stupid ways the people will die.
Bad: EVErYTHIIIIING!! The actors are all about the same age roughly (Mom looks younger than her daughters!) Not only that but they can't act thier way out of a paper sack. The budget was about $100 all spent on lunch for actors on the 1 day of suposed shooting that took place to film the entire movie. I could have done better with a bottle of ketchup, a few friends and an abandoned farm house. (oh wait..)
What The!?: The "little girl" who is the same actor in the flashback as in the rest of the movie, looks older in the flashback than she does for the rest of the film... TIME TRAAAAAAVEL!!
All in all.. if you want a laughably bad horror flick, you can try watching mr. Jingles.. I mean it was still better than Wolf Creek.
