The violent “Jackals” finally has a release date

Jackals (2016) is a violent home invasion movie set in the 1980s about an estranged family that hires a cult deprogrammer to take back their teenage son from a murderous cult, but find themselves under siege when the cultists surround their cabin, demanding the boy back. Although the film completion was last year, it’s been recently that Shout! Factory achieved its distribution rights. And finally, we got a release date. It will be the 1st of September this year when the title will be available on Video on Demand and will open in some select theaters.

The movie is written by Jared Rivet and directed by Kevin Greutert, who is better known for being responsible for Saw VI (2009) and Saw 3D (2010). The cast has some popular names like Deborah Kara Unger, Stephen Dorff and Johnathon Schaech, and not so very known faces like Nick Roux, Alyssa Julya Smith, Ben Sullivan, Jason Scott Jenkins or Cassie Hernandez. The film is produced by Tommy Alastra and TAP Inc. Productions.

As the movie press release reads, “Jackals (2016) is a disturbing vision of a fractured family that will do anything to get their estranged son back from a murderous cult, only to find themselves under siege when the cultists surround their cabin. A vicious battle unfolds, testing familial loyalties and unleashing a bloodbath in which there are few survivors”.
