Looking for something to watch this weekend? The Jester 2 is out now! Written and directed by Colin Krawchuk, the film stars Michael Sheffield as The Jester. The Jester 2 is a DREAD original production, and it promises to be a thrilling and suspenseful addition to the horror genre.

The movie is based on the viral short films by Colin Krawchuk. The first film, The Jester, quickly earned a cult following. In this sequel, the masked killer returns with an even deadlier game. The story follows a teenage magician named Max. She finds herself in a brutal showdown with The Jester on Halloween night. This time, the killer is a nightmarish, supernatural trickster with real dark magic. Max must use her wits and skills to survive as illusions turn lethal and every escape route becomes a trap.

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