Lars Von Trier’s The House That Jack Built (2018) movie trailer stars Matt Dillon, Uma Thurman, Bruno Ganz, Riley Keough, and Siobhan Fallon. The House That Jack Built‘s plot synopsis: “USA in the 1970s. We follow the highly intelligent Jack over a span of 12 years and are introduced to the murders that define Jack’s development as a serial killer. We experience the story from Jack’s point of view, while he postulates each murder is an artwork in itself. As the inevitable police intervention is drawing nearer, he is taking greater and greater risks in his attempt to create the ultimate artwork.

Along the way we experience Jack’s descriptions of his personal condition, problems and thoughts through a recurring conversation with the unknown Verge – a grotesque mixture of sophistry mixed with an almost childlike self-pity and psychopathic explanations. The House That Jack Built is a dark and sinister story, yet presented through a philosophical and occasional humorous tale.”

This looks excellent and gruesome, like Dexter but stripped of all the goofiness that soon plagued that serial killer TV show. The Uma Thurman beginning, if that is the beginning of the film, packs one hell of an effective punch.

The House That Jack Built also stars Sofie Gråbøl, Johannes Kuhnke, Marijana Jankovic, Osy Ikhile, Jerker Fahlström, Jeremy Davies, and David Bailie.
