    Unexpectedly very good

    Considering the low quality of a lot of horror output recently I wasn't expecting much from this movie. But what a surprise.

    The story is well written and tight, nicely paced, and with plenty of intrigue so you never really know where it is going.

    The characters are superbly portrayed by the entire cast.

    If you want to see a good horror movie that doesn't involve teens screaming in some remote location - this is a movie to watch.

    A Fresh Spin On A Classic Concept

    A fresh spin on a classic concept, Anything for Jackson follows an elderly couple who kidnap a pregnant woman with the sole intention of putting their deceased grandson's spirit into her unborn child. A wicked yet amusing premise, the film manages to get some mileage out of its reverse exorcism idea only to drop the ball in the final act to finish on an underwhelming note.

    Directed by Justin G. Dyck, the film is a major step-up & a massive departure for its director when compared to his family-friendly filmography. Crafted with care & handled with finesse, the story is gripping from the get-go, brims with a disquieting chill, and packs some effective scares, thanks to the foreboding ambience & ghostly interventions that occur throughout its runtime.

    What inherits the picture its uncanny strength however is the excellent performances from its leading duo. Sheila McCarthy & Julian Richings are fantastic in their Satan-worshipping roles and even add a parental touch to their otherwise despicable characters. The supporting cast fail to match the brilliance of the leads and are serviceable at best. As for the finale, it fails to deliver the desired goods.

    Overall, Anything for Jackson is a fun & fiendish delight that manages to be both hilarious & thrilling and makes for a polished piece of work for a film shot on a low-budget. Certainly an impressive entry in a directorial career that's jam-packed with feel-good Christmas specials, this supernatural horror about loss, grief, remorse & satanism has its merits and will surprise many with its refreshing take on the subgenre.

    Damn

    A pretty fun and wild experience, slightly spoiled by a underwhelming conclusion/ending.

    Silly ending

    Low budget, not all bad, actually interesting horror movie with silly ending. Movie makers should realy stop trying to be smart at the end of movies. Just make the damn ending. Really. Just do it

    Watch This One

    This is a nifty original horror flick that will keep your interest. It's really good.

    Not complicated. Just really good performances and direction. SCript too.

    Don't miss it.

    With all the derivitive garbage out there, this was one refreshing movie.
