Jackals
This dramatic story takes place in a time that seems to be the most difficult and powerful in history. That story began in the 1980s, with a single family renting a man to retrieve her teenage son from a deadly cult. After a short while, the same family finds themselves under siege when the chefs surround their compartment and demand the boy.

Though far more elegant in execution than most Rob Zombie-imitating films, Jackals smugly wears its violent tediousness as a badge of honor.

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.
