Watch Jackals For Free

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

This movie had the potential to be better but was really just okay. I didn't like the premise very much and the way the events unfolded was pretty lazy. I think there should have been a little more backstory on the family and the cult itself. Also why make one of the characters a marine and then not utilize it? You would think the Marine would be the bad ass but he was pretty much as easily expendable as the rest of the characters. Spoiler alert: the family was killed off so easily it was borderline boring. It reminded me of so many movies that were better from the obvious You're Next, The Strangers and even The Purge. Also the beginning of the movie was never explained and the ending was just weak. In other words if this movie were a soda it would be watered down and flat.

Another one of those, and while we get a couple of good actors thrown into this, we also know where this is heading. There is a slight nice thing going on in the end (something that is set up earlier by Stephen Dorffs character), which some might miss. Because they don't make a big deal out of it. Actually there is a lot of mystery involved in the (evil) group we get as villains here.So this is based on real cults and things that were going on a couple of decades ago. That alone may appall some people from the get go. If you can overcome this resistance (if there is one), then there is a movie to enjoy. Sort of, because while this isn't really great, it's not really bad either. It's decent and suspenseful enough and warrants one watch

I deserve a pat on my back - watched the entire movie in one go. Having said that, this is a seriously dumb movie.It is a low budget cabin in the woods kind of a flick, but instead of supernatural antagonists, what we have here are a group of men dressed as jackals - and they have absolutely no motive, no background, no character, no nothing - they are just as meaningless as the movie.The acting in the movie is okay, for a change, nothing amazing since the movie doesn't require anything amazing, but, it does seem like the cast can easily do better -> should be signing better movies. The background, cinematography are amateurish (or worse). Screenplay is non-existent. Storyline is intermittent, meaningless, flawed and boring. Character building seems to have been an absolutely no-no, since, even if every single person on screen died a horrible death, it would have absolutely zero effect on the viewer.2/10

It's difficult to make movies this terrible. This is one where you wonder how on earth this was made and does someone have pictures of Steven Dorff doing something very embarrassing? In short, the audience isn't told much about what is really going on because that would ruin any sense of understanding what is going on and why. There is a cult that wears masks when they want to feel scary and they are using knives to slice up people in an awkward "we're in a movie" sort of way. After an opening of senseless violence, you are taken to the cabin in the woods where you learn that a father has grabbed his son and his friend who apparently are now a part of a cult. Dorff plays the deprogrammer.The acting is terrible. Dorff can't save the film and it's clear that they couldn't pay for him to be on screen very long. But not only is the acting terrible but the dialogue is laughably stilted and awkward. The longer it goes on the more you wonder why on earth you're watching because every character acts about as dumb as you'd expect in a bad B-horror movie.And as was asked by the forgettable girl, why didn't this gang just break the windows and bull rush the cabin and kill all of them. Wouldn't be too difficult. But if they did, you would have all this scary imagery going on to prolong the movie for an interminable hour to create something that resembles The Void. "We must have all our cult people stand motionless in the dark with masks on to create a semblance of something scary that could only be explained by a movie director choreographing this charade." Even the scared family is trying to figure out what on earth the father is trying to do since even stupid people wouldn't act the way he is.I actually haven't provided any spoilers. I'll just say that the movie deliberately doesn't provide you what you should know because it needs something to get you to watch until the end. Why? Who cares? This is not just bad. It's spectacularly bad.
