One day my friends and I decided to watch this film after seeing at a store for one dollar and fifty cents, I really wish I had held to the money. First off the first death scene was so bad I thought the killer was trying to show how not to kill someone. Also the gore was all over the place, but the gore was black and looked like someone pooped all in the blood supply and then vomited into it. It really is that bad. Dialoge is superb if you consider the phrases of newborns intelligent. I plan on donating this to the feed the Ethiopians fund, but they probably wouldn't even eat it. I guess I'll just set it on fire. But no seriously don't watch this film it really is as bad as every one says and it so bad it really isn't all that funny. Also the nudity is gross can you spell ugly goth chicks I know I can and my mind will be scared forever. The only words to describe how this movie is, is blood orgy. Watch this and you will die I promise.

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

Expected worse. The cemetery owner was the first and last believable character. The clown and makeup were pitiful. The group scenes had to be unscripted a mistake amateurs make.The movie took a dump with the first murder FX. Gratuitous, drugs, sex and foul language. Camera work was terrible there was never enough light. Nude scene was a breast exam. Were they doing a public service announcement?Best to watch as a comedy on horror. The movie is filled with one liners they just don't come close enough together to make a dialog.You have probably read most of the other comments but check this movie out and see if you don't agree with me.

I understand that this was a low-budget movie, but honestly, any movie that sucks that bad, should not be put on a shelf.It looks like my best friends school project, actually, that was better.All I was thinking throughout the entire thing was "why am I still watching this" and "how was this possibly sold."Biggest pile of crap I've ever found on a shelf.Its not worth watching, unless you've got some urge to watch and make fun of the most ridiculous thing you'll ever see.My mom and friend actually fell asleep a little after the insanely long beginning-credits.
