The House That Jack Built

Lars von Trier’s masterpiece. Amazing script, dialogue, cast and performance’s. If you are fascinated by the psychology of a killer than this movie is a must see

BAD AS IT GETS!

I really wanted to like this movie and I kind of did, but there was a scene that made me stop watching and that was when Jack cuts one of the feet off of a duck and then shows the duck trying to swim in the water afterwards. For some reason that scene really bothered me and I wish I never saw it. I just didn’t feel like watching any more after that, perhaps because it looked so real and being cruel to little helpless animals like that really bothers me. Matt Dillon is really good in it, though.

A really different kind of movie and the director takes this story to a whole other level. It’s quite hard to describe. But the story is broken down in different parts all coming to a dramatic and crazy conclusion.

Where is the unrated version at?

If you're looking for something really gore this might not be the movie. Lots of art and beauty through darkness. Absoulety recommended

Why are we only able to rent the movie?! That’s incredibly annoying.

This is a very boring and slow movie. It is not worth watching.

I have a love/hate thing for Lars Von Trier. I give this three stars for a noble effort,

This is a very graphic violent film first off. Queasy need not apply. Considering the structure of the film as a whole, I believe the metaphor that is presented to the viewer is a beautiful representation of the way we lead our lives. We’re all building houses that one day we will have to dwell in after we complete its construction. Matt Dillion was created for this role. If you take this film at face value, it’s a gritty horror film from the perspective of the killer. If you can look into the mind of the director you will see a cautionary tale reminding us the reality we see in our personal lives isn’t the same the human race lives in. I choose a four star rating simply because the frequent camera shifting during points of the movie added nothing for me. Wonderful for the deep thinkers.
