I’ve mentioned before that I don’t take much notice of ratings. Sure they’re good to give you a rough idea but I’ve seen a lot of films with excellent ratings that were dull and I’ve seen some with bad ratings that were great!
With that in mind, I caught this film on TV late one night a while back and really enjoyed it despite finding it only has a 5.0 rating on IMDb.
Jackals (2017)
It stars Stephen Dorff (Blade) and a few others that you might recognise.
This is what it’s about:
A desperate family hire a specialist deprogrammer (Dorff) to rescue their teenage son from a murderous cult. However, things turn deadly when the cultists surround their cabin and demand the boy back.
Ok so this isn’t the best horror movie you’ll ever see but I think it deserves slightly more recognition that it gets. If I hadn’t bumped into it on TV that night, I wouldn’t even know it existed.
If you’re looking for horror films to watch over Halloween and are bored of the ones you’ve seen a hundred times, why not give this a go?
Seen it? What do you think? 🤔
