Honestly I for one love cult / horror movies. Plots are usually similar but the execution and ending is key. Jackals ticked all the boxes for myself and my friends. We had a movie night and this was my contribution to the roll call. No one was disappointed. Our needs were met. The acting was great and the cinematography was well done. there were no black holes in the plot and it didn't leave you saying "was that it?". Not a cinema release, true. But on a dark night with the lights off this is one to enjoy. And to make it better...... Stephen Dorff. Enough said.
