I saw this at the Popcorn Frights Film Festival and I went in knowing nothing about it. This was case where not having any info ahead of time made the movie more exciting.
Written by Jared Rivet and directed by Kevin Greutert Jackals is a tense thriller that doesn't overstay it's welcome.
I won't spoil the plot because I think going into this film blind really enhances the tension. I will say that I loved the Halloween homage at the beginning and that the "cat joke" was one of my favorite parts of the movie.
The cast includes genre vets Stephen Dorff, Johnathon Schaech, and Deborah Kara Unger. All the cast do a great job of conveying fear and tension. Schaech does a commendable job of showing just how far a father will go to protect his family.
Do yourself a favor and go see Jackals before someone spoils it for you!
