I guess I should have done my research ahead of time, because the last thing I wanted to see after watching 'The Gallows,' is yet ANOTHER found footage stinker - These people should have their own genre, seriously.
Well, if you're like me and have absolutely no clue what to expect from 'The Jokesters,' it is indeed another found footage horror film. Now, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't somewhat entertained by the first 35 minutes, and what they were possibly setting up for - but never happened. There's no twist to be found. It's all given away at the wedding. The dialogue is fairly awful here, and could have been written by a 15 year old - I thought the whole 'ur mom,' and 'that's what she said' fad had finally come to a screeching halt. I was wrong, obviously. The term 'gay' popped up several times, as well - probably to slowly reveal the motivation behind the insanity of our killer, or so I thought. Something that would have been a better reveal at the end of the film, if they had actually used that as his motivation. When it's all said and done, after one prank too many, our 'gay' killer turns out to be your run of the mill straight guy, who just wants the pretty lady... Uh, what?
Random Ramblings of a Madman: I'm thinking two different directors were involved in this crap fest, since the first 35 minutes sets up one thing - and the other half of the film just ends up being random nonsense.
P.S. I am thinking about making my own found footage film, of me watching found footage horror films - any takers?
