Exclusive Clip from JACK GOES HOME!

 

Hey guys! Horrorella here...

We've got an exclusive clip from the upcoming thriller from Thomas Dekker, JACK GOES HOME.

Jack Thurlowe (Rory Culkin) is a successful magazine editor with a beautiful fiancée Cleo (Britt Robertson) who is seven months pregnant with their first child.  However, this perfect life is turned upside down when Jack discovers that his parents have suffered a brutal car accident back in his hometown. His beloved father has perished while his mother Teresa (Lin Shaye) has survived. 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.

With the arrival of a mysterious new neighbor, Duncan (Louis Hunter), Jack finds 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 idyllic world he has believed in since infancy is in fact a nightmare playground full of lies, deception, violence and murder. 

This clip shows a darkly comedic, yet wildly uncomfortable scene between Jack and Nancy (Natasha Lyonne), the receptionist at a veterinary clinic. What begins as heartfelt small talk quickly turns into an unnerving conversation about life, death, and finding the impossible lightness in the center of a dark and unforgiving universe.

 

 

I love this clip because it is awkwardly humorous, but yet very unsettling. This film has the potential to go to some pretty dark places, and I am very intrigued.

Plus, it’s got an amazing cast. Culkin and Lyonne are joined by Britt Robertson, Louis Hunter and Daveigh Chase. And did I mention Lin Shaye? Because Lin Shaye. Hells yeah.

JACK GOES HOME hits VOD and Theaters on October 14th.
