Randy Myers

San Jose Mercury News

Director Justin G. Dyck takes a break from his holiday rom-com gig - he's made an insane amount - and slays it.

Rated: 3/4

A horror film that is not just sickeningly entertaining, but disturbingly relevant.

Justin G. Dyck's very smart movie lures viewers in with its clever concept and instantly strong characters only to present them with the kind of nightmare fuel that would impress Clive Barker.

Vague Visages

Anything for Jackson is a perfect example of wasted potential, as the film contains some solid elements that Dyck fails to build upon.

We Who Walk Here

Hilarious, terrifying, and mournful, Anything for Jackson is a horror-comedy that gets both parts of the equation perfectly right.

Nashville Scene

It's rare to find this kind of tonal mastery in a film in which so much crazy shit happens, and the tiny swirl of deadpan humor is perfect for leavening such an ultimately unsettling story.

Panalo. Nakakagulat un mga jump scares nya. Un title lang na parang pang drama & medyo malayo sa pagka horror nya. Un ending medyo naguluhan lang din ako dun sa nakita nya

Very fresh and original for a Shudder horror film. Deftly blends wit with horror. You find yourself oddly rooting for the satan-worshipping kidnappers to a degree! Unfortunately, it builds to a clumsy and underwhelming finale. Given the strong character development throughout the film, I was hoping for something more poignant at the end but it just devolves into a very poorly staged climax and then ends on a unfinished note. I'd give it more stars if they had just stuck that ending a bit better.
