    Fantasia 2020 : Anything for Jackson

    Anything for Jackson is a clever, often funny and deliciously petty story about an elderly satanist couple who are literally ready for anything in the name of love.

British filmmaker Neil Marshall is an absolute master of physically intense narratives: The Descent, Dog soldiers, Doomsday, Centurion and his episodes of Game of Thrones, Black Sails, among others, demonstrate his distinctive talent. The Reckoning is a darker and more furious addition to his already hard-hitting filmography, following in the footsteps of provocative classics such as The Witchfinder...
