This movie would have been way better without all of the story surrounding the children. This movie follows the trope of most really bad horror movies. They have a really interesting monster, but then needlessly follow the story of some rando people. It was still enjoyable to see the Jester be jester like, so I wouldn't give it a 0/10, but its not a 5/10.
Pros - Jester does not talk Jester kills people with his magic powers We learn nothing about the jester Really good practical effects No CGI Child actors aren't annoying
Cons - Cringey voice acting in some parts (phone part with mother) Slow pacing in some parts
If you find it cheap somewhere or it's on TV, give it a watch, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get it.
