I don’t think anyone outside of Dekker himself can truly unpack the type of psychological chaos occurring within Jack Goes Home, and I like that notion. This is an artist using his medium as an outlet to exorcise demons without necessarily factoring in audience expectations. Read full review

Jack Goes Home is a swirling storm of emotional ravaging that’s eventually personified by action, but it never comes together as wicked, cohesive storytelling. Give this one a watch, but just know the risks going in. Read full review

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

There might be a good story somewhere deep inside this tangled narrative, but Dekker seems more focused on creating a succession of "scary" images than he is on that. Read full review

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. Read full review

Trimming the film’s manipulations and inessential qualities would only improve it, but judicious editing would leave very little meat on its bones. Read full review

The film veers almost at random from ghost story to family drama to erotic thriller to black comedy. Read full review

Thought it was a good entertaining film. Rory culkin acting was very very good as his character devolops. The woman from insidious was down right chilling. Film contains many twists and turns along the way to keep you guessing.
