Jackals
Set in the 1980s, an estranged family hires a cult deprogrammer to take back their teenage son from a murderous cult, but find themselves under siege when the cultists surround their cabin, demanding the boy back.
Why it matters
A tense, retro-tinged siege thriller that pits family loyalty against cult fanaticism in a claustrophobic cabin showdown.
- Nails ’80s atmosphere with neon-tinted dread and period detail that’s more than window dressing.
- Practical gore and gritty violence fuel the escalating brutality—no gloss, just raw teeth and blood.
- For fans of cult horror and home invasion flicks craving a lean, mean genre mashup with a psychological twist.
- Characters can frustrate with dumb choices, but that unevenness adds to the paranoid, chaotic vibe.
