Sometimes death can shed new light on the lives of the deceased. Sometimes some things are better left in the darkness. From Momentum Pictures comes Jack Goes Home, the story of Jack Thurlowe (Rory Culkin), a successful magazine editor whose idyllic life is thrown into turmoil following the death of his father. Jack is living the good life and anticipating the birth of his first child with his beautiful fiancée Cleo (Britt Robertson), when he discovers that his parents have been involved in a traumatic car accident that has left his father dead. Upon returning home for the funeral, the volatile nature of Jack and Teresa’s relationship boils to the surface and the constant barrage of sympathy from the town starts to weigh on Jack’s grieving process.
Soon, grief turns to doubt and paranoia as Jack begins to uncover audio recordings and video tapes left behind by his father that lead him to question childhood memories and the very foundation of his identity. With pressure mounting and sanity crumbling, Jack comes to learn that the perfect world he has believed in since infancy is in fact a nightmare playground full of lies, deception, violence and murder. Jack Goes Home is written and directed by Thomas Dekker, and will be the second directorial effort for the 40-year veteran of TV and film, following 2008’s Whore. The film stars an all-star cast of veterans and young talent that should be familiar to horror fans including Rory Culkin, Britt Robertson, Lin Shaye, Louis Hunter, Natasha Lyonne, and Daveigh Chase.
Jack Goes Home will be available in select theaters and VOD starting October 14th. If you can’t wait until then, check out the exciting new trailer for the film below.
