I respect Lars Von Trier, i don't love him ,but i respect him. Hell he made one of the few films to make me cringe in Antichrist. I would have said Melancholia was my favorite film of his, that is until now. The House that Jack Built is a twist on the slasher genre, a character study that feels like Tony or How to Be A Serial Killer but told with perfection through Von Trier. Moments of super dark humor are tossed in, and it ends with an upbeat vibe....wait what? The closing scene is in hell, the film takes a huge turn in the final act and it is bonkers. This gritty ass slasher with tremendous acting is a weird ass film that truly feels straight from the underground but not cheap. this is true underground, this is true cult, this is true weird, this is true fucked up, this is Lars Von Trier.
