Written and Directed by Travis Stevens. Starring Barbara Crampton, Larry Fessenden, Bonnie Aarons, Sarah Lind, Phillip Jack Brooks, Robert Rusler, Mark Kelly, and Jay DeVon Johnson. SYNOPSIS: Anne, married to a small-town Minister, feels her life has been shrinking over the past 30 years. Encountering “The Master” brings her a new sense of power and an appetite to live bolder. However, the change comes with a heavy body count. It is truly impressive what can be accomplished without a budget as long as there is sincere and thoughtful writing. One could take Jakob’s Wife as a silly movie about small-town residents turning into vampires with buckets galore of blood (perhaps a bit too excessive and comical here), but it’s more intriguingly about the upending of gender dynamics within a religious family and how the vampiric powers obtained by Anne Fedder (genre veteran Barbara Crampton leaning into every bit of zany material given to her) – the eponymous Jakob’s wife – come to serve as a source of female empowerment.
