Director Justin G. Dyck takes a break from his holiday rom-com gig - he's made an insane amount - and slays it. Go to Full Review

A horror film that is not just sickeningly entertaining, but disturbingly relevant. Go to Full Review

3/4
Justin G. Dyck's very smart movie lures viewers in with its clever concept and instantly strong characters only to present them with the kind of nightmare fuel that would impress Clive Barker. Go to Full Review
Bill Bria Vague Visages Jun 7, 2023
Anything for Jackson is a perfect example of wasted potential, as the film contains some solid elements that Dyck fails to build upon. Go to Full Review
Jessica Scott We Who Walk Here Dec 23, 2022
Hilarious, terrifying, and mournful, Anything for Jackson is a horror-comedy that gets both parts of the equation perfectly right. Go to Full Review
Jason Shawhan Nashville Scene Sep 10, 2021
It's rare to find this kind of tonal mastery in a film in which so much crazy shit happens, and the tiny swirl of deadpan humor is perfect for leavening such an ultimately unsettling story. Go to Full Review

Alex B @AlexBioni 15 hrs ago This Got Out of Hand This movie is excellent. The acting feels genuine and doesn't skip a beat. Audrey and Henry's actors knock it out of the park. They play everyday people forcing themselves into a difficult situation. They're very neighborly, like a stereotypical suburban couple with a big pinch of crazy. The tension is high because of their situation and the mystery surrounding why they're doing this. There are creepy moments, like the woman in the kitchen with the floss and the man in Beckers' room with a bag over his head. That scene was nightmare fuel. The dialogue is well done and funny at times, like the DDF scene. The movie explains what's happening through the characters, which I'm usually not a fan of, but it works here. Sometimes the acting and dialogue feel a little Hallmark, and the pacing can be slow, but it stays engaging. There's also very little music, which I'm not a fan of. I found the ending satisfying and would definitely recommend this to horror fans. See more Kris T @RT26407207 1 day ago One of the better horrors after 2020s. It gives a touch of Where Evil Lurks which is absolute top of horror movies, but with US budget and understanding. The fact that the grandparents came to their minds in the end puts you off a bit. But eventually the ending suggest that the evil did win and that was cool. See more Melissa L @Agent99 Sep 1, 2026 I would have rated this Satanist horror movie higher, but the ending could have been clearer. See more Yusuf R @yuuu061792 Jul 26, 2026 Amazing. Haven’t seen a horror film make me feel I was being punched in the gut and in awe so cleverly and constantly. I was invested in each character and loved being so lost in its unpredictability. See more Dean S. @DeanDFW Apr 18, 2026 A horror movie with a fresh take on the genre: well acted, good dialogue, good actors. See more Marco G @ser0bi1392 Mar 18, 2026 An impressive little horror film that mixes dark humor with the supernatural in a way that entertained. At its core, it’s about grief and how far people are willing to go to see someone they love again. It gets dark and a little absurd at times. With that said, the lore behind the dark magic kept my interest and ending had me feeling satisfied. Hard to say too much without spoiling it, but it definitely keeps you on your toes.
