This movie completely stunk. I rented it from Blockbuster today hoping for something wicked cool, but after watching it, all I had to say was "I want my $4.29 back." The acting was horrific, I coulda done better, and I suck, LOL. The death scenes were blah, no real gore, poor direction and Mr. Jingles looked absolutely nothing like the guy on the cover, very misleading and a dang shame too. The flying dildo was hillarious, didn't see that coming.
I think it's safe to say, you never judge a DVD by it's cover, especially a Low-budget slasher flick like Mr. Jingles. The reviews on this movie have got to be bogus, there's no way this movie is a 10, unless this is the only movie the reviewer has literally ever seen in his or her entire life.
I give it a 1/10, and that's pushing it.

I don't care how hard they worked on this. It's still garbage. I rented it and demanded my money back. The lady at the video store took the film off the shelf permanently and trashed it. I blame the filmmakers and I blame Lions Gate for thinking that the public is stupid enough to accept trash like this. I will commend the music. The rest is not even funny. I will look for the names I saw in the credits and avoid ANYTHING they produce in the future. I've also written a letter to lions Gate, knowing it will do no good, but I've done my job to try to keep crap like this out of areas used by professional filmmakers. If you can't do better than that...I'd at least use a fake name in the credits. I don't mean to be nasty but we work for our money and it's a cheat to put something like this on the market. Your hard work means nothing to me...I paid to be entertained, not pissed off at wasting my hard earned money. I work hard too!! Get a day job and leave movie making to someone who knows what they're doing. ...and what's with that stupid clown laugh!!
Ridiculous!!

Yes, a fruitless letter was written, but I'm sure it will be trashed like the hundred others they'll get. Fortunately for the video store I rented from, they only had one copy, and yes, she trashed it after watching the first 7 minutes with me at the counter. I actually felt sorry for her because she has the daunting task of "judging books by their cover". It would be impossible for her to screen every film. It goes back to Lion's Gate. Why purchase something like that and stick it in a slick box for a struggling video store owner to be fooled by. There are plenty of better films that have no distribution at all. Why waste renters money buying something that is obviously not worth $4.00 rentals. Somebody dropped the ball big time! This is the stuff that makes it hard for serious filmmakers to sell their products. I got suckered by the slick trailer, which was excellent, by the way, if you are trying to fool someone into renting the movie.
On a better note, I hope the filmmakers used this movie as a learning tool. I enjoyed the music, especially the final credit music. It was good, and it was well recorded.
