I witnessed this thing go from script to screen and I dreaded seeing it, only because half of the cast and all of the crew were from the local Houston film scene and a bunch of drama monkeys. But it took me several years to finally watch this 'bird that couldn't fly' and there was just so much 'junk' in the film that I was a little surprised I made it through to the end; it has it all, bad acting, bad lighting, bad sound, bad editing, bad this and that, and some terrible performances from actors that I know are far more talented than their performances in this awful, awful film. Somewhere it was boasted as almost being a "million dollar production" and I couldn't comprehend it then and certainly not now. I've had some slow Mondays and I am sure that I played it through several of them just to get through it. But if this is 'Houston's best', then Houston dashed it's dream on the wrong director/writer/editor...However, I will give kudos to the music, it was about the only thing that was original and paid for. There's no way they could have screwed that up.

I can't tell you how many times I've watched this movie.. what I can tell you is that it gets better EVERY time I watch it. I am consistently catching something I missed before. Larry Wade Carrell does an amazing job directing and acting in it. He is going to take Hollywood by storm... I've known men like Otis, he nails the personality, and Billy, You'll just want to take him home...Grace Powell is an up and comer not to be reckoned with & Dylan Horne scared the daylights out of me. Don't just watch this movie once! Trust me. it gets better each time! I love horror flicks, I'm a horror flick junkie.. and now I am a Jacob junkie!!

The concept of this movie wasn't bad. But the acting, I'm pretty sure basically everyone, was just horrible! Whenever Edith had to cry, wow, you could definitely tell she was struggling to get some tears out. Yet I don't remember seeing any. I think she was the worst!Two things I didn't really understand. The first was, what happened with the father? He was hearing voices and seemed to have special powers prior to dying. Obviously Otis was hearing voices too but what was the connection? Number two, why at the end was Otis trying to get Sissy's body to the old house?Thank you for you time.

Jacob is pretty good. There is a demonic insane person named Jacob and his demonic ability comes from his father being killed in a bar killing everybody and then passing the demons on to him. His last hope of sanity and the person who was keeping him sane was his sister or whatever i went on the computer while it was explaining it but her name is Sissy. After Sissy gets killed he goes on a rampage and starts killing everybody in a Graveyard while putting Sissy in a grave. Then there are Otis or whatever and Earl. 2 maybe unnecessary people right? WRONG! Otis is married to ( ??? i forgot. Something that starts with a E ) and is the mother of Sissy. Otis kills Sissy. Who knows what happened to the mother. but there is a haunted house that possesses Jacob's father. Jacob never says a word in the entire movie. Not even in his flashbacks. But it is a bloodbath. Love it.
