Jackals Ratings & Reviews
jackmeat
January 16, 2025
My quick rating - 5.2/10. Another home invasion-type movie. This one is a step up from the average though. The idea of an intervention to get a family's son out of a cult for the sake of his own life is new. The crazed son, aptly named Justin (Ben Sullivan) does a fantastic job and makes it much more creepy. His role and the cult itself when they attack moves this up in what without those two things is quite dull and run of the mill. The writers kept the insanity up outside the home in a decent way that kept you watching. So me saying I just wanted more of that tends to me watching until the end which leads right into a possible sequel, so maybe I will be graced with another.

The film's ultimate nihilism makes the whole exercise seem like an annoyingly pointless waste of time-even for a movie that's barely 80 minutes long.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
"Jackals" is a bit of style, almost no substance, and so scanty on the scares it's not worth the price of admission.
Cultured Vultures
Kieran McLoone
It's not quite up there with the invasive horror of The Strangers or You're Next, but Jackals still manages to deliver enough genre-specific beats to make it worth a glance for hardcore horror fans.
Tribune News Service
Rick Bentley
Even if Jackals had been a direct-to-video release, it would have fallen into the category of "rent something else."
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
Though far more elegant in execution than most Rob Zombie-imitating films, Jackals smugly wears its violent tediousness as a badge of honor.
ComingSoon.net
Chris Alexander
Saw VI director Kevin Greutert's lean, mean and rough horror movie Jackals is a dirty little gem.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
Jackals is little more than just a series of violent, familiar events strung together.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
Its run-of-the-mill standoff may appease some hardcore horror buffs, but it offers nothing to the rest of us and will likely be forgotten before the blood on the ground dries.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
The movie does what it sets out to do: stranding the viewer in a dark place, surrounded by remorseless predators. It's an old recipe that can still please a crowd.
Film School Rejects
Rob Hunter
A slick and suspenseful landing until it fails to stick the landing.
