The film centers around Jacob, who is weird and defensive and maybe a jerk or maybe a misunderstood, damaged soul. Jacob's girlfriend is pregnant and then he gets a call that his father has died in an accident. So Jacob goes home. Rory Culkin as Jacob is in almost every scene and that's a good thing. Even though this film was disturbing and ultimately disappointing, I watched all of it. It kept me on the edge of my seat, wanting to know what the hell was going on. Which is part of this movie's problem: too much was going on. Had the story been stripped to its bones and had the film been cut back in length, it would've been better. As it is, it's atmospheric but frustrating and messy. It's beautifully shot and Rory Culkin was pretty amazing. I read another review saying he was basically a block of ice but I completely disagree. The leads (especially Culkin) made what otherwise would've been crappy dialogue sound natural and all round I thought the cast was decent to very good. What I don't get is why anyone would hire Natasha Lyonne or Nikki Reed to then only give them one short scene. Makes me suspect scenes were cut and somebody hadn't figured out beforehand what do storywise.

Shocked at the low rating which is the only reason I am making this review. Thought this was a brilliant film, wasn't exactly scary in like the jump value but that's such a pre 2k10 thing and overdone. The psychological aspect to it was brilliantly done, was a mindf**k for sure. Love Rory, really the best actor for the job and would and have recommended it to friends and family.

This film tells the story of a young man who receives a phone call to inform him that his father died in a car accident, when his mother was at the wheels. He goes home, discovers strange happenings at present concerning his mother and the house. To compound with the grief, he discovers evidence of his secret traumatic past that he has no memory about. "Jack Goes Home" may sound interesting on paper, but I think it does not work for me. I think that the film cannot decide whether it is a drama or a horror story. There are many things that are touched on briefly but not explored, such as Jack sleepwalking or windows in the lounge breaking. It show a collage of scenes that basically tells how weird the mother and Jack both are. It is not scary, it is just a freak show of two weirdos who are weird in their own ways, with hardly any connection with each other. Actually, the characters all seem to be drowning in their own world, and have poor connection with each other. Even the neighbour Duncan, who tries to seduce Jack, has a poor connection with Jack because Jack looks like he is in another world. I find "Jack Goes Home" quite a disappointment.

Reviews are important to me, they're an essential part of my choosing which movies to watch and which ones to pass over, because having a disability I watch A LOT of movies. And for the last five or so years, I've also been rating every movie I've seen on IMDb, to keep a running list and history of them all. Unfortunately I'm not great at writing reviews, I get too overwhelmed with details and trying to put my thoughts down, so I just wind up rambling on... oh well. My point is, I just hate fake reviews are used to plump up a movie's ratings, and I hate those reviews that make you wonder if the writer actually watched the movie they're reviewing at all or at least the same movie as I did? I say this, because I read so many reviews, by both amateurs and professionals, narratives that are filled with unforgivable mistakes, like the writing the wrong lead character's name for example; how can one watch a 90 min. movie, where the name is spoke many-many times, and still not know what the character's right name is, etc.? This just floors me. Sorry for my rant.

Jack (Rory Culkin) seems cold to the news of his father being decapitated in a car crash. His pregnant girlfriend Cleo (Britt Robertson) is away visiting her parents. His lesbian friend Shanda (Daveigh Chase) finds him disturbingly sleepwalking. He goes home to care for his mother (Lin Shaye) and uncovers hidden family secrets. Shanda joins him. Thomas Dekker is an actor trying to branch out into filmmaking. There is some good creepiness mostly due to Culkin's disturbing acting. This is a psychological horror which is outside the norm. Dekker's work is professional but lacks an excitement. There are moments of tension but it never maintains its intensity. It all adds up to an uneven attempt with some interesting aspects.

The acting is horrific, the dialog is so stilted and stupid I couldn't get past the first 15 minutes.

The downward spiral into madness Jack Goes Home tries to imbue falls short. What's left is a disjointed film wondering what it wants to be. While I do agree we get to see a different side of Lin Shaye from what we see in the Insidious chapters, I felt her performance to be over the top and wrought with cliché moments à la Mommie Dearest. Rory Culkin gets everything thrown at him including the kitchen sink, yet never deviates from the mouth agape, detached look expression he sports throughout the film. His acting skills are far superior to what we see play out during the movie. Natasha Lyonne makes a cameo appearance at a receptionist desk. It makes you wonder if she said her four lines as a favor to Dekker. Fortunately for Lyonne, she can make a desk look good. It's unfortunate for us that we only get a glimpse of her. On a positive note, there were a few creepy scenes any horror fan would enjoy. And it was also a beautifully shot film. There was enough glimmer of hope buried within Jack Goes Home to make me interested in Thomas Dekker's next move as a director and film writer.

There is a list published of the events that cause the most stress and trauma in the human experience. The #1 "event" listed is death of a spouse. Surprisingly, losing a parent is not that high up on the list,although many of us would beg to differ. There are many events not included in the list. Culkin is phenomenal as the snotty hipster turned severely emotionally damaged as he delves into secrets long left behind in his old childhood home that he revisits. I mean, he really was incredible. The mother play equally well, as the Mother From Hell (my words) who has occasional slips of the tongue where you think she may actually be normal. She is not. No one in this movie is normal - no one. Everyone is broken in some way. This movie is incredibly dark - it really was too dark for me, but I can't fault it for that - it did keep my interest and the acting was superb. It did leave me feeling unsettled - I won't soon forget this movie. But I wish I could. Make of that what you will. I do question the retention of memories of trauma, but I am not a mental health professional. However, I obliged for purposes of watching this movie. Oh - and yes, it is a creepy movie. There are fine lines between what a tormented mind can come up with, what really happened and what is happening in the world beyond us. I found this movie had elements of Sybil, Flowers in the Attic and The Changling (the old one with George C. Scott, not the Jolie one which is a different movie of the same name).

I wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm glad I watched this. A guy (Rory Culkin) receives a phone call to say his parents have been involved in a car crash and the film then follows his psychological reaction to the event. I don't usually enjoy slow, emotional dramas, but this had enough bite to it to keep my interest throughout. His lesbian best friend from childhood lends him support and a gay, nineteen year old, male neighbour befriends him, but throughout the film you're left to wonder what is really happening, and if any of it actually is happening. There are enough horror and mystery elements combined here that makes this film quite watchable, but sometimes more than a little uncomfortable. Great acting, great characters and a very well put together production that draws you in and just doesn't let you go until it's over.
