The Jackal (2016) is an interesting piece, a student thesis horror film that leans heavily into atmosphere and tension. The pacing feels deliberate, building unease with each passing minute. It's gritty, raw, and has a certain DIY charm that you don't often see in larger productions. The practical effects, while not overly polished, add a layer of authenticity that enhances its dark themes. Performances are earnest, capturing the desperation and fear of the characters quite effectively. There’s a palpable sense of dread that lingers long after the credits roll. It’s not your typical horror fare; it has that indie vibe that speaks to a specific audience, making it a unique entry in the genre.
