Hot off its Fantasia and Nightstream Film Festival premiere, Bloody Disgusting now has the official trailer for the Super Channel Fuse Original horror feature, Anything for Jackson, which kicked off the 2020 virtual edition of Toronto’s renowned Blood In the Snow Film Festival.
In the film from director Justin G. Dyck, “After losing their only grandson in a car accident, grief-stricken Audrey (Sheila McCarthy) and Henry (Julian Richings), a doctor, kidnaps his pregnant patient with the intentions of performing a “reverse Exorcism”, putting Jackson inside her unborn child. It doesn’t take long to figure out Jackson isn’t the only ghost the grandparents invited into their home. Now it’s a race against time for the couple, as well as the pregnant woman to figure a way out of the haunting they’ve set upon themselves.”
McCarthy appears in Netflix’s “The Umbrella Academy” and Richings in both “Orphan Black” and “Supernatural”.
“McCarthy and Richards deliver great lead performances that – coupled with a creepy ghost design and some genuinely unsettling moments – makes Anything for Jackson a worthwhile twist on the exorcism/possession subgenre,” wrote Joe Lipsett out of the Nightstream premiere.
Konstantina Mantelos (A Christmas Crush), Josh Cruddas (Polar), and Yannick Bisson (Another Wolfcop, Murdoch Mysteries) also star.
Watch for distribution news as it comes in.
