Horror movie director Lars von Trier cuts deeper and darker into the horror movie genre. The main issue is his brutality with women and children. A showing at The Cannes Film Festival had over 100 people walking out. For many movies, this could signal an end in sight, but for a horror movie it often sends out signals flares of publicity!
Apparently, this is already working as the just-released trailer (below) has already been viewed nearly 1.5 million times.
The House That Jack Built is about a murder spree of a highly intelligent serial killer over the course of 12 years. It takes place in the 70’s. What evolves are the murders developping Jack into a serial killer.
It stars Matt Dillion and Uma Thurman.
The House That Jack Built is set to be released the in fall of this year.
USA in the 1970s. We follow the highly intelligent Jack over a span of 12 years and are introduced to the murders that define Jack’s development as a serial killer. We experience the story from Jack’s point of view, while he postulates each murder is an artwork in itself. As the inevitable police intervention is drawing nearer, he is taking greater and greater risks in his attempt to create the ultimate artwork. Along the way we experience Jack’s descriptions of his personal condition, problems and thoughts through a recurring conversation with the unknown Verge – a grotesque mixture of sophistry mixed with an almost childlike self-pity and psychopathic explanations. The House That Jack Built is a dark and sinister story, yet presented through a philosophical and occasional humorous tale.
