Review by Jason Pitts
Anything For Jackson is a Shudder Original horror film. It stars Julian Richings and Shiela McCarthy as Henry and Audrey Walsh.
The Walshes are in their golden years, dealing with the loss of their daughter, and even more painful, their grandson, Jackson. In their grief, they turned to forces they don’t understand, and get way in over their head trying to bring Jackson back to life.
The film is shot artistically, including a beautiful 4 minute wide opening scene, establishing the uneasiness of the film. Almost every shot is slightly moving, and has spectacular lighting.
The acting is top notch, especially from Julian Richings, who is probably best known as Death from the Supernatural tv show. Konstantina Mantelos also puts in a strong performance.
As the film goes on, things get more and more intense, involving demons, ghosts, and possession. The practical special effects are fantastic, and the scares are well done.
Anything For Jackson is a must see for horror fans. 4/5 stars.
