After a two-night theatrical run for The Jester 2, it is now heading home to work up some scares on VOD. Epic Pictures and DREAD present the sequel about the masked killer known as The Jester returns in a deadly game where surviving means outwitting a killer who’s truly magic.

Here’s what the director, Colin Krawchuk had to say about the film.

“In case you missed it in theaters, I’m thrilled to say THE JESTER 2 will be coming to VOD October 17th,” says director Colin Krawchuk. “Fans will have the chance to invite The Jester into their own home, just in time for Halloween. I hope the film can become a new Halloween staple for fans of the franchise and new audiences.” 

Here’s the official synopsis for the film.

On Halloween night, teen magician Max finds herself locked in a brutal showdown with the Jester, a nightmarish and supernatural trickster with real dark magic and a killer act. As illusions turn lethal and every escape is a trap, Max must pull off the ultimate trick: staying alive. On this deadly night, the only escape… is to beat the devil at its own game.

Here’s what I had to say about The Jester 2 in my 85% review.

Max is an intensely relatable protagonist, and the Halloween setting plus nostalgic feelings of the film, make for a fun Halloween season watch. The Jester is a great villain who shines at his brightest in this film.

It’s refreshing to see an original horror movie like this capture so much right and fun about the holiday of Halloween.
