JACK GOES HOME Trailer: Rory Culkin Copes with Death in This Psychological Thriller

Here's the trailer and creepy-ass poster for Jack Goes Home, a new psychological thriller starring Rory Culkin as a guy who goes back to his hometown to attend his father's funeral and discovers some mysterious tapes in the attic. Just as I was ready to write this off as another haunted house movie, the trailer hints that it's possible there's something more devious going on under the surface: maybe someone is just messing with him and trying to get him to go crazy. It's unclear exactly what's going on here, but that's what makes it a good trailer that doesn't ruin the whole movie for you ahead of time.

The full synopsis is pretty detailed:

Jack Thurlowe (Rory Culkin) is a successful magazine editor with a beautiful fiancée Cleo (Britt Robertson) who is seven months pregnant with their first child. However, this perfect life is turned upside down when Jack discovers that his parents have suffered a brutal car accident back in his hometown. His beloved father has perished while his mother Teresa (Lin Shaye) has survived. Upon returning home for the funeral, the volatile nature of Jack and Teresa's relationship boils to the surface and the constant barrage of sympathy from the town starts to weigh on Jack's grieving process.
With the arrival of a mysterious new neighbor, Duncan (Louis Hunter), Jack finds audio recordings and video tapes left behind by his father that lead him to question childhood memories and the very foundation of his identity. With pressure mounting and sanity crumbling, Jack comes to learn that the idyllic world he has believed in since infancy is in fact a nightmare playground full of lies, deception, violence and murder.

Jack Goes Home hits theaters on October 14. What do you think?
