Anything for Jackson

Every one of us has someone for whom they would do anything, move Heaven and Earth, to see again. For Audrey and Henry Walsh (Canadian genre-film royalty Sheila McCarthy and Julian Richings) it's their two-year-old grandson Jackson, who was taken from them in a car accident that also took their beloved daughter. The tenets of their religion tell them that their daughter has moved on, but that that, due to his youth, it's possible to revive Jackson, providing a suitable host can be found. And the Walshes are in an excellent position to find one: Henry is an obstetrician, and his day job brings Becker (Konstantina Mantelos) their way, an soon-to-be single mother who is unsure of her very unexpected pregnancy. With the perfect candidate in place, the stars aligned and their house sound and escape-proofed, the Walshes’ plans to bring Jackson back are all set. What could go wrong? It turns out their lord and master has more than a few surprises in store for this pair of Canadian Satanists. (Fantasia International Film Festival)
