Anything for Jackson.
Any niche can be very inward-looking. It's as true for horror as any other genre, so when Justin G. Dyck unleased his chilly supernatural thriller
Anything for Jackson, because it was his first horror film a lot of people thought it was his first feature. "It feels like my first film," the director laughed, but that's not the whole story.
Dyck has been planning to make a horror film for his entire filmmaking career, and finally fulfills that ambition with the story of a pleasant older couple - veteran character actors Sheila McCarthy and Julian Richings as Audrey and Henry Walsh - kidnapping a pregnant woman (Konstantina Mantelos). Their aim is not malevolent: they just want to use a black magic ritual to put the soul of their dead grandson into her unborn baby's body. Isn't that what any doting grandparent would do?
