User review:

“Jack Goes Home” is a psychological Thriller (with some horror elements) about a boy named Jack (Rory Culkin) whose dad is killed in a car accident, after hearing the news he returns home to help his mother with the funeral and cope with the whole ordeal. As Jack struggles with the loss of his father he starts to notice strange behavior from his mother while also attempting to uncover possible secrets that his parents have been hiding from him for years.

The movie is essentially about a man’s struggle with the loss of his parent and his own mental instability. I like movies that dig into the human mind and really focus on one individual slowly. Jack’s mother (player by Lin Shaye) is an interesting character and makes for some of the more interesting scenes in the movie, unfortunately she isn’t featured that much.
