Worse than poor - The House That Jack Built review by DW

Cannot believe how awful this film is, it is absolute rubbish.

Matt Dillon must have been desperate for money to take on this film

Switched it off after 15 minutes.

Not an easy watch - The House That Jack Built review by NK

I watched The House That Jack Built in a cinema and it played on my mind for a long time afterward. It is mesmerising in its creative cruelty as we follow the development of a warped serial killer, but I almost felt ashamed of myself for watching it, as if I had willingly partaken in its cruelties, or had at least somehow permitted them to happen. I'm glad now that I watched it, but I wasn't so sure of that for a long time.

Awful - The House That Jack Built review by TD

Terrible film , that bad that we switched it off half way through, I definitely would not recommend this film , awful x

Equal parts frustrating and fascinating - The House That Jack Built review by VG

A chilling, appropriately horrible, interchangeably ghastly and beautiful portrait of our propensity for creativity and cruelty, teetering precariously on the knife edge between profundity and absurdity. Very Lars.

The Charnel House that Jack Built - The House That Jack Built review by porky

Strange trip through the life of a Serial Killer ,From Beginning to End .

Cross between 'American Psycho' ,'Henry,Portrait of a Serial Killer' and 'Man Bites Dog'.

Gruesome , Grim , Blatant and Unapologetic in its Honest Nastiness following close behind a Self Confessed Psychopath .

I Enjoyed it but I wouldn't ever bother watching it again. See it to Experience it. Great and Nightmarishly Believable Effects .

Rubbish - The House That Jack Built review by CP Customer

Weird arty arrogant rubbish. Enjoyed seeing Uma, but should have switched off after that. Very boring and trying to hard to the ‘different’

Really wanted this to be good - The House That Jack Built review by SH

So i saw the trailers for this a while back and was desperate to see this movie and finally i have. I love the twisted violence and the mentality of Jack. I wanted this to be a new Psycho. Unfortunately the film under delivers. It's broken down into several stories that make up the development of Jack but there's no real connectivity between them. It's more like a movie of short stories rather than a developing single story which makes the film feel a bit disjointed. The scenes for the first two thirds of the movie are good in the sense of exploring how he kills his victims but there's a real lack of depth when it comes to how these acts have come about. No real back story, no information about how Jack became Jack, just a few snippets and after a while you start to feel like you can watch the movie without watching it.

At the end, it just gets weird. No spoilers but i got completely lost and so did my housemate who watched it with me and went off to do some washing up instead of watching. Your left with a confused ending and even writing this now i don't really know how to summarise how it ends. There's no conclusion which makes you feel like you've wasted your time.

I will say the sound track suits the movie perfectly! But this is one of those movies where the trailer promises much and the movie under delivers which is a shame. I really wanted this to be an epic, unfortunately it's an art house extravagance that under delivers
