Very well done film focusing on a serial killer named Jack who tells the story of 5 incidents that made him who he is. It's pretty brutal in some parts, but overall a good film. Matt Dillon is great and creepy in the role. Will definitely be watching again.

A tedious picture about a remorseless serial killer, played by Matt Dillon.

The House That Jack Built is kind of a bore. As much as von Trier loves to push our buttons with graphic imagery, he also wants to get under our skin by talking, talking, talking. And while the gore got the headlines, the talk is what sinks the movie.

The House That Jack Built, however, only rarely achieves that level of disturbing poetic awe. The film lopes along in a way that’s grimly absorbing yet, at the same time, falls short of fully immersive.
