First, Colin Krawchuk brought us the Jester via a viral short film. Now, in 2025, we’re getting a second feature film starring the terrifying masked madman. But, with The Jester 2, our villain may have met his match…

The official synopsis for the film reads:

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.

In our exclusive clip from the film, watch Max meet the Jester for the first time.

Watch now:

Michael Sheffield (The Jester), Kaitlyn Trentham (Murder Made Me Famous, Within The Woods), Jessica Ambuehl (Becoming, The Dream Motel), and Dingani Beza (23 Minutes to Sunrise, Marshall’s Miracle) star in the sequel.
