“Jackals” (*1/2 out of four) was a turkey set in the wilderness in which a family (Jonathan Schaech, Deborah Kara Unger, Stephen Dorff) are besieged by a sadistic cult while they are vacationing in their cabin and the cultists (Ben Sullivan) want to take their son as their own. Umpteenth horror movie set in the woods (“Cabin In The Woods”, “Don’t Stop”, “You’re Next”, the list goes on) fails to breathe any new life into these old cliches. Remarkable cast for such tired material. Set for no particular reason in the 1980’s.
