This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

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.

Unfortunately, this is my first review I've written here on IMDb. The only thing that compelled me to write one is that this movie was BAD. The make-up was horrible, the acting was atrocious and the story was laughable. The only saving grace in the whole movie was Sissy....the little girl looked like she was the only one that didn't know she was in a bad movie. And how did they get Kyle Reese of 'Treminator" fame to be in this movie ?? Did he lose a bet ?? But really, plenty of other ways to wast 90 minutes of your day....re-arrange your sock drawer, wash your vehicles, clean the bathrooms or wash the dog....twice. I mean, it wasn't even 'horror-comedy', what was the point ???

Just saw the completed edition of JACOB last night at WorldFest Houston last night and I can say that it's definitely worth seeing. The movie is great, the story-line gripping, and the score by Iain Kelso was simply magnificent. Independent horror makes the world stop and take a peek because it's not mainstream and it's work that has a lot of heart in it and that's what makes it worth the while. Dylan Horne did a fantastic job as Jacob and Grace Powell as Sissy. The two together were great together. Jacob for his simple brutal way of seeing things and Sissy for trying to keep him in check. Larry Carrell, Stacy Davidson, Cynthia Lauer, Nick Nicholson, and the rest of the cast and crew did an amazing job.

When we were seated for the Movie the Producer/Writer got up, to introduce the movie and to let everyone know that it was still a work in progress. After viewing I was riveted, it was a hang on ride.. I was relived that a movie filmed completely in Texas, and with such a small budget had the effect and the drama, It represented what could truly be done here in Texas. If you have to see one movie and don't mind the gore then you need to experience this emotional thrill ride. I can't wait to see what Odessy has up their sleeves next... Congrats to Larry Carrell for a fabulously written and unique experience, that I will remember for a very long time to come.....
