Andy Webster

New York Times

The script, by Mr. Dekker, spirals into a muddle of ambiguity, leaving only the imagery and the performances to save the movie. And try as they might, they cannot.

Los Angeles Times

While the movie's artfully made and daringly disturbing, Dekker ultimately overestimates how many sick twists one motion picture needs.

Village Voice

What's more disappointing than the competing storylines is the emotional void created by these joyless characters.

The Wolfman Cometh

Doesn't quite find the right tone between drama and horror, but still offers some effectively unsettling sequences.

Rated: 3/5

Cinema Crazed

The film looks great and has very good performances that grab you and make you want to see what happens next, how it ends.

Rated: 4/5

There is no subtext in Jack Goes Home. It's just text. Nothing is left to the imagination.

Rory Caulkin was interesting enough to make me sit through this dementia patients journal as a screenplay

There is a twist at the end but it makes no sense. The entire story the movie is built on is flawed if this twist is true. The main character wouldn't be at the house. The main character is not likable but his mother was awful so he never really stood a chance of coming out with a great personality. Also, why did they have to hurt the dog and kill him later on? That dog was my favourite character and the best friend. I was pausing this movie like crazy and finding excuses to leave. I made it through but definitely won't be watching it again.

This movie wass most excellent. It was well-acted, and I did not anticipate the ending. Ignore the tasteless ratings. I recommend you view it.
