2025 The Jester 2
Directed by: Colin KrawChuk
Written by: Colin KrawChuk
Stars: Michael Sheffield, Kaitlyn Trentham,
Run Time: 1 Hour, 27 Minutes
Trailer:
Spoiler-Free Judgment Zone
The Jester is back, killing people like a magician and entertainer again, with a bit of a different look. There’s much more explanation in this sequel than the first movie, and we both thought that was a step in the right direction. We liked this one better than the first Jester.
Spoilery Synopsis
It’s a big Halloween party, and the guys mock each other for being afraid to talk to Ava. He goes over to her, but she’s more interested in Connor. That goes badly for Eric but suddenly, The Jester appears by crawling out of a box. He then peels his mask off like he’s molting, and we see that he’s got hair now and his face itself looks like the mask. The Jester makes Eric be the pinata, and that’s a mess. Credits roll.
Max and Zoe talk about going out trick or treating, but mom says Max is getting a little too old for this stuff. Meanwhile, the Jester asks a guy on the street to pick a card, and then handcuffs him before ripping out his innards with a card trick.
Max goes to a restaurant alone, and the jerky waiter recognizes her from school. The girls at the next table mock her, but then the Jester sits down across from Max, and at least he’s nice to her. He tries to do a trick with his cards, but she shows him card tricks aren’t going to fool her. When the guy she likes punctures her bicycle tire, she stops and cries.
A trio of troublemakers are out pranking, and they run up against the Jester, who does his thing for them– except his magic no longer works. Instead, he just kills them the old-fashioned way- he attacks them with a knife. He’s lost his mojo and soon figures out that Max has it.
Max goes to the magic shop and tells her friend there about her social problems. He’s really nice and cheers her up. When she leaves, the Jester is waiting for her. As she watches, he walks over to the mean group from earlier and “pantses” the guy, much to his embarrassment. Jester invites Max to go trick or treating with him.
At the first house, Max does a magic trick for the woman inside, but then the Jester does a trick and kills the woman; his magic is back on again. Max runs away, terrified. They come across the remains of the party from the opening sequence, and Max shows him the Ouija board, which he can use to “talk” to her. He’s not going to kill her, he needs her. “You are just like me.” He says he’s a misunderstood entertainer until he met the Great Deceiver, who made him a deal. “I must trick four souls each Hallow’s Eve before a candle burns out.” Since she tricked him, that opens up a whole new rulebook; she has to do the tricks now.
Max picks out one guy in the park; it’s the guy who was mean to her earlier. He’s pretty easy to hate, so she shows him a trick. He apologizes during the trick, but it’s too late by then, and the Jester takes over.
Some police come over to question Max and the Jester, but suddenly, Max can’t speak either. Turns out, Max has called 911 on her phone. The police try to arrest the Jester, but that doesn’t go well for them.
Max runs away and encounters a man on the street who offers to drive her to the police station. They hear about the previous deaths on the radio, but the guy in the car is very weird, weird in a pedophile kind of way. The Jester reappears and solves Max’s problem.
Max has an asthma attack, so the Jester takes her to the fire station for help. The Jester then plays hide and seek with the firemen in the fire station. Max refuses to help him any further and goes home.
Max’s mother is there waiting for her, and she’s surprisingly mean. She finds the Jester in her sister Zoe’s room; he’s already killed the mother, and now he wants Zoe too. He still needs her to do one more trick for a victim.
Max chooses Darren, the waiter from earlier. When he gets off work, Max and the Jester are outside waiting for him. She pulls out her deck of cards and has second thoughts halfway through it. Turns out, she’s sleight-of-handed the Jester himself and performs a trick on him. Suddenly, his candle goes out and he bursts into flames.
The magic shop owner shows up to help Max and Zoe. The police have the whole area covered. He finds that Max has taken the Jester’s hat, and she keeps babbling about “four tricks– four souls. Every year.” Sounds like it’s time for a yearly franchise!
Brian’s Commentary
The character of the Jester looked better in the previous film, with the full-head mask. This time around, he’s just got his face covered, and it’s not as effective. In the first film, he had more of a “street performer” look, but here, it seems he’s trying to look more scary.
One complaint about the previous film was that nothing was explained, and we get everything explained in this one. It’s got a much stronger story, and the pacing is much better as well. I liked this one quite a bit more than the original.
Kevin’s Commentary
This one had all the magical murdering goodness of the first movie with a better script and story. Though I do agree that I preferred the Jester’s look in the first film, overall this was a better movie. If you liked the first time around, you should definitely see this one.
2025 The Man in the White Van
Directed by: Warren Skeels
Written by: Sharon Y. Cobb, Warren Skeels
Stars: Madison Wolfe, Brec Bassinger, Ali Larter, Sean Astin
Run Time: 1 Hour, 45 Minutes
Trailer:
Spoiler-Free Judgment Zone
It’s well-made and based on a real crime situation, which makes it creepy on a fundamental level. But it is rather long and drawn out. It hops around in the early 70s, doing a great job of capturing the look and feel of the decade. The van driver chooses to fixate on one character, rather than just the random attacks, so there’s drama and supporting cast for us to care about.
Spoilery Synopsis
A woman gets into a car and drives away. It’s 1970, and we see a white van following her car. She pulls over, crying about something, and doesn’t see the man from the van until it’s too late. Credits roll.
In 1975, Annie falls off her horse. She goes home, and her mother, Helen, freaks out and tells her to shave her legs. At dinner, her father, Richard, talks business. Margaret and Annie are very competitive sisters. It’s a very strict household.
Back in 1971, we watch a woman go out for the evening. She’s immediately kidnapped by the man in the white van, who we never see.
In 75 again, we watch as the family goes to church. As the preacher talks, we see that the man in the white van is still active out there and he follows the family car back to their home.
In 1972, a woman comes out of a disco and first with a man who drives a white van, and he gives her a ride against her will before killing her with an ax.
Annie likes the new boy at school, Mark Newsome. We see that Annie’s horse is upset by something outside, and when Annie goes out, she sees the van there. When she tells her mother and Margaret, they don’t believe her wild stories. She finally gets to talk to Mark, and they hit it off. On the way home, Annie and Patty see the van, but it’s only a telephone installer.
Little brother Daniel keeps playing with his father’s rifle, which annoys everyone. Annie ends up showing him how to use it.
1973, and a woman at a motel leaves the pool and gets grabbed on the way to her room.
Annie keeps seeing the strange man outside the house. One night, near Halloween, her parents go out for dinner and Annie sneaks away for her boyfriend, leaving Annie and Daniel alone. The van man comes around and terrifies them until they get the gun and shoot at the van. When Helen and Richard come home, the story comes out, and Margaret blames Annie for making it all up. Punishments are disbursed all around.
In 1974, a girl takes her dog out for a walk and things go badly for her. This time, the killer shows the kidnapped girl to an older man who calls him son.
Annie sees the guy outside again and gets Richard to go outside with his real gun. He shoots a possum in the trash can. Annie gets even more paranoid after that, actually going so far as to lock the front door!
The three kids go to a drive-in, and once again, Margaret sneaks off to be with her boyfriend. Annie runs into Mark there, and he’s come with the school slut, Joanna, who is having a Halloween party in a few days.
It’s Halloween, and Annie and Patty go to Joanna’s party. Margaret is actually nice and helps Annie get ready. Mark, it turns out, is more interested in Annie than Joanna, but they can’t stay very long. On the way home, on horseback, the two girls spot the van again, and this time it chases them. Annie falls off her horse and runs. It’s tense, but she eventually loses him.
When she gets home to put her horse away, the man is there waiting for her. The man knocks her out and ties her up, but the horse, on the other hand, kicks the man and knocks him out. It’s a contest of who will recover first, but Annie eventually winds up in the back of that van. She opens the door and jumps out (nobody tried that before?).
Annie runs home, and this time, Margaret sees the bad guy too. They do the cat-and-mouse things in and around the house. They hit the man with his own van just as the policeman arrives.
One month later, both Annie and Margaret have boyfriends, and the family is much more well-adjusted. We cut to someone buying a white van from a car lot. On the radio, the reports talk about the bodies, which have just started to be discovered.
As the closing credits roll, we see that it’s now 1976, and the van is still out there…
Brian’s Commentary
It’s very retro, but this story wouldn’t really work if it were set in the modern day. The cars and the music try hard to make it seem authentic, but it’s the telephone shenanigans that really sell it.
We assumed right off the bat that Sean Astin would be the killer, since he’s the only major star in the film, but it soon became obvious that it wasn’t him. Then we figured it would be Mark, but that wasn’t it either. Turns out, we never do see or know much about the killer; he’s a mystery man. This was all supposedly based on true events, so maybe that’s just the way it worked out in reality.
It’s a pretty slow moving film, and that might be my biggest complaint with it; the kidnapper is way too patient. Annie obviously knows he’s up to something, and she’s told plenty of people, but any kidnapper in their right mind would just move onto a new target. If he was really into Annie for some specific reason, that would make sense, but otherwise, he just seems to grab women who are convenient; Annie was not convenient.
It all looked good, and the acting from the main characters was decent. It is, however, very slow paced, and that may turn off some viewers.
Kevin’s Commentary
It’s set in an alternate 1970s timeline where people attend high school into their 20s, but everything else seems about the same as our 1970s. Seriously though, they had the 70s elements down solid. The acting is good. The story itself seemed thin to me, and stretched out. Which made it feel low stakes and a little on the dull side. As Brian pointed out, the van driver fixating on Annie was out of character for his usual MO of seemingly random abductions. Almost like they needed to lay it out that way to fill up a movie. I’d call it just okay overall.
2025 Monster Island
AKA “Orang Ikan”
Directed by: Mike Wiluan
Written by: Mike Wiluan
Stars: Dean Fujioka, Callum Woodhouse, Alan Maxson
Run Time: 1 Hour, 23 Minutes
Trailer:
Spoiler-Free Judgment Zone
Two men from opposite sides of the war have to work together when they’re stranded on an island with an angry creature. The story is pretty straightforward, but it’s well done. The acting is good, the effects are decent, and the location is beautiful. We thought it was quite good.
Spoilery Synopsis
We hear about Japanese “Hell Ships” during WWII which took Allied POWs to Japanese slave camps and were often targets of the allies themselves.
It’s 1944 on one of these Hell ships. The guard pulls one of the prisoners out of a cell and pushes him away. He’s Japanese, but a traitor, sentenced to death but he has to be kept alive for the mainland execution. They bring in a second prisoner and get a little sadistic with him. They are chained together at the ankle.
Suddenly, the ship is under attack. The two prisoners attack the guards and jump overboard just as the ship explodes. Credits roll.
In the morning, both prisoners wake up on a deserted beach, still chained together. The other prisoner is British, and they fight some more. As they fight, something in the water attacks the Brit, but the Japanese man shoots it and drives it away. Saito and Bronson wonder what it was, but they can’t speak each other’s language, so that’s tough. They scavenge the ship’s wreckage and set up a camp.
They both figure out that they were prisoners, so maybe they can help each other. They work together to get the chain off, but soon it becomes apparent that there’s something out there in the jungle that isn’t friendly. There’s the monster, but there are also two Japanese soldiers and another prisoner. Saito tells Bronson to hide and pretends to be asleep until the soldiers find him.
The soldiers soon figure out that there’s someone else out there besides just Saito. They hear the monster roar out in the jungle, and the new prisoner calls it “Orang Ikan” and looks very afraid. One of the soldiers goes looking for what made the noise and soon finds it. Meanwhile, Bronson dispatches the first soldier. Saito and Bronson watch as the monster comes and finishes off the second soldier and the new prisoner.
The two men run through the jungle, which is nearly as dangerous as the monster, and they both get pretty badly beaten up. It’s a rough night for both of them. In the morning, they are separated and each learns what they can about the island they’re on and the monster they are up against. Saito finds a sword and a pistol.
Both men find the same crashed fighter plane, and one wing has a large unexploded bomb still attached. When they get back together, Saito shows Bronson to a cave with an egg. Saito tries to explain that they’re dealing with a mermaid protecting her egg.
Together, the two men go back out and carry the large bomb into the Mermaid’s cave. It’s got a delayed action fuse, but it’s damaged. Bronson explains that one of them is going to have to go boom with the bomb. They go back out to the plane to get an ax to set off the bomb, and the monster attacks. This time, the men have weapons and manage to run the creature off. Not for long, as it comes back in the cave and messes up Bronson really badly until Saito shoots it in the head and then shoots the egg.
As the injured-but-not-dead monster wails over the dead baby, mortally-wounded Bronson tells Saito to go; he’ll set off the bomb. Saito runs off as Bronson smacks the bomb with the ax.
As Saito walks off into the jungle, he hears more of the creatures out there. No, it’s the same one again. This sucker is tough. He lures it to the beach, where they fight some more. Eventually, Saito beats the creature, but doesn’t kill it. He lets it go.
Saito gets picked up in 1945 and tells the Americans there about Bronson. They ask Saito what his original crime was, and he says he killed his superior officer to save his comrades.
Zooming back to the island, we see the monster is still out there.
Brian’s Commentary
“Orang Ikan,” is Indonesian for “Mermaid” or “Man-Fish.”
The scenery and locations are pretty amazing. We only get flashes and glimpses of the monster, so we can assume the rubber suit wasn’t too great. It’s essentially the “Creature from the Black Lagoon” with a little CGI enhancement.
We’ve seen the trope of enemies having to work together many times, and it usually works; this one is pretty good.
Kevin’s Commentary
I didn’t think there were many surprises here, but it’s well made and visually impressive with good special effects. If you want to see a quick creature feature action flick, this is a good one.
2012 The Ghastly Love of Johnny X
Directed by Paul Bunnell
Written by Steve Bingen, Paul Bunnell, Mark D. Murphy
Stars Will Keenan, Creed Bratton, De Anna Joy Brooks
Run Time: 1 Hour, 46 Minutes
Trailer:
Spoiler-Free Judgment Zone
This was a movie in black and white that’s a send up of 1950s science fiction and leather-jacket rebel action. With musical numbers. And romance. And an undead rock singer very reminiscent of Roy Orbison. With all that weirdness, it should be more entertaining than it is, but there are too many talky bits that drag things down, especially in the final third or so. If you’re looking for something interesting and unique, you might want to check this one out.
Spoilery Synopsis
Johnny X is brought before the judge, and it all looks very black-and-white Flash-Gordony. He’s accused of not fitting in and following orders in their advanced civilization. Johnny and his followers are exiled to a low-tech planet with no real civilization, a place called “Earth.” Credits roll.
One year later, Johnny leads his people through the desert, all dressed like rejects from a 50s motorcycle gang movie. At the diner, the TV news tells us that Mickey O’Flynn has gone missing, and manager King Clayton is at a loss. Clayton watches a woman walk into the diner; she’s Bliss, and she talks about lizards wanting to lick her. She’s the one Johnny X is searching for.
Bliss tries to talk waiter Chip into leaving his life at the diner behind and going off with her. Johnny’s people all show up, and they know how to make an entrance– a musical entrance. They all hear about Mickey O’Flynn’s disappearance, and Johnny wants to find him. A lot goes on during the musical number, but eventually, Johnny uses his technology to capture Bliss.
Chip and Bliss drive to the drive-in theater, which is closed. She explains about Johnny and “The Ghastly Ones,” his gang. This all leads to another song, and she tells him about where Johnny comes from. He had a Resurrection Suit that allowed Johnny to control anyone. He’s only got one power glove, but she’s got the rest of the suit in her car. She’s got electrodes in her chest that she likes to fondle.
Meanwhile, Clayton and the Ghastlies go to his place, a nearly condemned theater. He’s got Mickey O’Flynn and his entire band there, and they’re rehearsing new music. No, that’s a puppet that looks like O’Flynn. We get a flashback about O’Flynn refusing to perform for an audience anymore. We also see how desperate Clayton is as he finally pursues O’Flynn to perform. Just as he makes his point, the musician dies (probably from boredom). Out of the blue, Bliss and Chip walk in and are captured.
Johnny and Chip go outside and argue. When Bliss gives him the super-suit, they all leave Chip alone. Johnny goes back inside and talks to O’Flynn’s corpse, who we learn was Johnny’s father.
Meanwhile, outside, the gang sings about what’s going on. Can (or will) Johnny use the resurrection suit to revive O’Flynn to save Clayton and the theater?
O’Flynn’s corpse is starting to decompose as the crowd comes into the theater, but someone loaded him with Jasmine. The curtain opens after a brief introduction by Clayton, and we see O’Flynn in a big sarcophagus. Johnny’s suit lights up, and the old rocker becomes a singing, dancing dead puppet.
Suddenly, Sluggo, one of the henchmen, betrays Johnny and cranks the power up to eleven. O’Flynn comes back to undead life for real. He still looks like a zombie though. He then ends the concert, and everyone leaves. He, Sluggo, and a groupie leave, but not before kidnapping Bliss with “The Big Pill.” O’Flynn has plans.
We cut to Cousin Quilty on TV, who interviews a woman who talks about her encounter with a flying saucer. Quilty admits that he personally has been abducted. O’Flynn and his posse arrive outside, and he wants to be on the show. During the interview, pieces of O’Flynn’s face start falling off. He mentions that Sluggo is his adopted son.
Sluggo calls Johnny and demands the suit. He wants to make a whole planet of zombies to do his bidding. O’Flynn starts to realize that Sluggo may be worse than he ever was.
Johnny finds the bad guys, but it’s all a trick. Sluggo gets the suit and forces O’Flynn to try strangling Johnny. Things go badly, and O’Flynn finally talks to his real son, Johnny, before dying again for real.
Bliss attacks Sluggo, but he’s huge. The rest of the gang joins in, and Sluggo falls off the mountain. Chip, on the other hand, is killed accidentally– nope, he just fainted.
Suddenly, the sky lights up and a flying saucer descends. Queen Betty from the homeworld has come, and she’s been watching. He offers to return the resurrection suit, and she recalls them to the homeworld, their crimes forgiven.
Johnny and Bliss come back, they want to make Earth their permanent home. Clayton, his girlfriend, and Chip go to Vegas to get married, which leads to a final song.
Brian’s Commentary
There seems to be one single product that gets a lot of product placement, see if you can spot it.
It certainly makes the most of black-and-white retro-50s imagery. This was Kevin McCarthy’s final film appearance. It was also the lowest-grossing movie of 2012, making only $117 during its one-week run. Mickey O’Flynn, played by Creed Bratton, seems to be a zombified Roy Orbison.
The whole thing seems to be a send-up of the 1950s “Rebel” genre although the trailer plays it up to be more of a mix of sci-fi and horror, but it takes a really long time to get to that part. The songs and musical bits are quite good, but all the talking in-between is just slow and draggy. There’s also a noticeable lack of songs in the second half.
I think it would have been much improved with the second half-hour much compressed. It’s a neat concept with a good look, but it’s extremely uneven. It’s definitely weird though.
Kevin’s Commentary
I was expecting this to be a wilder ride than it was. Instead, once things got underway, I found myself getting a little bored in places as it dragged down. The look and concept was all cool, the cast was good, the songs were fun. It could have used some tightening up. I don’t regret seeing it, and would recommend it for most folks, but once was probably enough.
2005 Land of the Dead
Directed by: George A. Romero
Written by: George A. Romero
Stars: John Leguizamo, Asia Argento, Simon Baker, Dennis Hopper
Run Time: 1 Hour, 33 Minutes
Trailer:
Spoiler-Free Judgment Zone
This was high on action and low on horror since the zombie universe of Romero is well established at this point. An add on at this point is that the undead are getting some of their mental facilities back, making them even more of a threat. There’s a secured area of a city where people are getting by. Folks are still divided into the haves and have nots, but everyone is equal when the undead are chasing them. We both thought it was good overall, not quite great.
Spoilery Synopsis
We are told about the dead rising and killing the living as credits roll. It’s a worldwide phenomenon, but at least the zombies are stupid and slow. Eventually, the dead outnumber the living and most of the world is gone. We cut to a brass band of the dead, all waving instruments around. The man at the gas station comes out to work the pumps.
All the dead are just doing what they did in life. “It’s like they’re pretending to be alive” says one living man to another. The gas station man spots them and starts to follow. Riley is in charge of the group, out scavenging for supplies. Charlie is scarred and not very smart, but he’s Riley’s helper. Riley tells Cholo that the dead seem to be thinking now; they’re smarter. “Things are changing, be careful.” This is Riley’s last night out, and Cholo is scheduled to take over in the future.
The men shoot off fireworks and then shoot the zombies who are mesmerized by the light and noise. The gas station man understands what’s happening and tries to warn the others, but he’s the only smart zombie in the group who figures it out. Big Daddy zombie roars at the “death” of his friends. The fireworks break down, and everyone is now bait. Cholo and his group raid the liquor store, and one of his people gets bitten and shoots himself.
As the humans all leave, Big Daddy straps on a machine gun and starts lumbering toward the lit-up tower in the distance. Other zombies follow him.
Back in the city, we see a city block has been sectioned off, and Riley and Charlie unload their loot from last night. Fiddler’s Green plays an ad on the TV, where everything is good for the shiny happy rich people.
Riley and Cholo debate about getting into Fiddler’s Green, but they’re both “the wrong kind.” Cholo goes into the Green which is a high-rise with restaurants, a shopping mall, and all kinds of nice things. Riley goes to the slum-town outside, which is a lot less nice, and way more crowded. We see how the defenses of the town work, and that there’s a lot of resentment against Kaufman and the leaders who relax in Fiddler’s Green.
Cholo runs into a zombie situation withing the Green itself, and he quickly takes care of the it before security arrives. Down in the town, the entertainment is heavily zombie-based, with gambling, target shooting, and even an arena fight. This results in a gunfight, and we see that Charlie’s an excellent shot.
Riley rescues a girl named Slack, and then they all get arrested. They all tell their stories. They also arrest Mulligan, the leader of the resistance. Meanwhile, outside, Big Daddy and his group bang on the walls of the town and can’t get in. He tells the undead butcher to hack through with his knife.
Cholo talks to Kaufman about getting a place inside The Green, but Kaufman gets all exclusionary, making excuses. It’s either racial or classist, probably some of each, but Cholo’s clearly not getting in. Kaufman calls security to get rid of Cholo. Cholo kills the security guard and goes rogue. Cholo, Foxy, Mouse, and some others decide to take the truck out for more supplies.
Suddenly, Big Daddy’s army shows up at the gates. The guards fill them full of lead, but it’s not enough. Instead of defending the place, Cholo’s people take the big truck, Dead Reckoning, right out through the gate that the zombies had already crashed. Big Daddy and his group continue on toward the big tower.
Kaufman listens to Cholo’s demands and calls for Riley. He sends Riley to retrieve Dead Reckoning and kill Cholo. Riley agrees to retrieve the property along with Charlie and Slack. Some soldiers accompany them. Riley tells Kaufman about the walkers, but they can’t get across the river to the town.
Kaufman knows what’s going on, and he’s made evacuation plans for his friends. Outside, Big Daddy and his friends come to the river, and they can’t swim. They do, however, find a unique approach to their problem.
Cholo figures out that Kaufman isn’t going to pay, so he loads missiles to attack the Green. Kaufman starts packing bags full of cash.
Now on the city side of the river, Big Daddy closes in on the survivor’s town; he teaches the zombies to use machine guns. Riley disables Cholo’s missiles and takes the truck back toward the city to let the people trapped inside out.
Cholo has been bitten and returns to Fiddler’s Green to confront Kaufman. Downstairs, the zombies finally get inside the Green itself and eat all the meaty, juicy rich people inside.
Kaufman gets into his limo as Big Daddy traps him inside. Big Daddy remembers the gas station and gives Kaufman a fill-up. Cholo shows up, and he’s already dead, Kaufman’s bullets do nothing. The exploding gasoline, on the other hand, takes care of both of them.
Riley and his group finally make it into town, too late to save anyone. It’s become a Land of the Dead. No, some of the people in the town have survived, and they’re all packed and ready to leave. A small group decides to stay. Riley, Charlie, and Slack decide to drive to Canada. Big Daddy continues to lead his people away, and Riley refuses to shoot him.
Brian’s Commentary
John Leguizamo and Simon Baker are both good here, but Dennis Hopper mostly seemed to phone in his cliched lines. The gore and zombie effects have improved a lot since the original films, and watching the smart zombies take over the town is pretty cool. It’s almost as if they’ve become the good guys.
It’s an “OK” action-horror movie, and it’s got the series’ usual social commentary, but it all feels a little lacking today. What good was all that money going to do anyone outside the city anyway?
Kevin’s Commentary
I liked it more than not, but it wasn’t the best of the series. Dennis Hopper seemed underutilized and a little too low key here, but the rest of the main characters were on point. The effects were excellent, and if you watch closely, effects artist Tom Savini makes a quick cameo as one of the undead. It’s worth a watch if you're a fan of Romero’s work.
