If You Love No-Budget, Indie Horror

Mr. Jingles is a pretty good no-budget, indie horror flick that may have holes in the plot that you could drive a truck through but it was an entertaing watch. Parrt of the charm of the film is the rawness, but the sound does need mixed a little better. The gore and kills were satisfying with the exception of the "shooting" of Mr. Jingles and the hatching of the mother in the opening. Following the nudity convintion of the low-budget horror film Mr. Jingles has the two breast shots mandated by gorehounds. For those that complain about the choice of the naked girls they need to realize this wasn't a Hollywood film so your not getting plastic tits but the real thing. Anyways, no one can say when they first saw the character of Mel's (Heather Doba) chest they weren't think that they need to see them. For Jessica Hall's topless sence, may be taking that picture down in the background would have helped. The bird is so distracting it becomes funny as hell. The cast seems to be having a good time and love the film which is important. Is it slick? No. But House of the Dead tryed to be slick and it sucked. Are the kills earth-shattering? No but they aren't CGI crap either. Does a big name star get naked? No big names but who the hell really wants to see some plastic surgery nightmare's boobes any way? Have fun, watch the movie and say, "Hey, it isn't the best but it's not the worse." To the film makers, keep making movies and having fun, you love for low budget horror and the fun you had making the movie is better than Hollywood SFX.

I was actually referring to the original message. I could only decipher about half of it.

They could've gotten more delivering and physically attractive actors and actresses and seeing boobs doesn't make up for--okay, yeah it does. But to their credit and since I'm afraid of clowns, Mr. Jingles started looking creepy towards the middle. And it was hilarious to boot. In the first scene when the mother dies and she drops whatever they used as guts, you can see her un-bloodied tummy. Plus, the guy whose name currently escapes me (played by John Anton, wasn't he?)... the one who yelled everything he said and flipped out on people. I wish I could sound like that.

Awesome.

By the way, is Mr. Jingles supposed to be a pedophile? I don't remember much, but what I do remember is the description of being punished for wetting little panties.

I don't understand why it is so hard to make a good quality movie for a small budget. I understand the poor acting... that's fine. It was probably just the film-maker's friends and family. But a lot of my friends film movies for fun with no budget at all (let alone nearly $800) and they look nearly professional and have graphics. I just feel that if you want to make a movie that should at least be taken sort of seriously, you shouldn't settle for a first take and you should obtain some kind of virtual video editting program. Also, the plot line was hard to follow and the large number of characters were not fully developed and made it harder to know who was who. I understand that this was probably made in a week and was a result of some boredom, but if you're going to bother filming something at least don't make it look tacky. An honest attempt at a movie deserves some sort of honest critique.
