Have I ever mentioned how much I love Home Invasion flicks (spoiler: yes)? Historically, I’ve always stated that the sub genre holds a special place in my heart due to the “plausibility” of it all–and I stand by that. But then a movie like JACKALS comes along and fucks that whole theory up. I wouldn’t call a crazed cult in Jackal masks showing up to steal your baby “plausible”, but I’ll be dammed if it doesn’t look entertaining.

All that to say: I have no clue why I like this shit as much as I do. All I know is that I’m in and that JACKALS hits limited theaters and VOD platforms on September 1st. Check out the official plot synopsis and trailer while you wait.

Plot Synopsis
Jackals is a disturbing vision of a fractured family that will do anything to get their estranged son back from a murderous cult, but find themselves under siege when the cultists surround their cabin. A vicious battle unfolds, testing familial loyalties and unleashing a bloodbath in which there are few survivors.
