“I’m so grateful to Fathom for having faith in our project by releasing it nationwide.

In the movie, set 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.
The Jester 2 was written and directed by Colin Krawchuk. Michael Sheffield (as the Jester), Kaitlyn Trentham (Murder Made Me Famous, Within The Woods), and Jessica Ambuehl (Becoming, The Dream Motel) star. Dingani Beza (23 Minutes to Sunrise, Marshall’s Miracle) rounds out the cast.
The film is a DREAD original production in association with Traverse Terror. Patrick Ewald, Cole Payne, and Jake Heineke are the producers.
