The House that Jack Built

As ‘normal’ serial killing horror can no longer satisfy his appetite for amoral pathology, the outrageous maverick looks to repugnant provocations centred on the aesthetics of murders and the philosophy of the psychopath. Confessing five episodes of murder selected from his killing spree, Matt Dillon’s Jack expressly refers to his atrocities as his art – building the bodies of his victims up as his ‘dream house’ to relieve his architectural frustrations. Unnerved by both its brutality and eerie beauty, we are drawn into the dark heart of this wacko who, led by his internal dialogue with the devilish Verge, is going down to Hell. Repulsive or captivating, it’s two-in-one. Take it or kill it.
