“ANYTHING FOR JACKSON is a clever, often funny and delightfully mean-spirited tale of elderly Satanists in way over their heads in the name of love.” – Matthew Kiernan, Fantasia International Film Festival

After losing their only grandson in a car accident, grief-stricken Audrey (Sheila McCarthy) and Henry (Julian Richings), a doctor, kidnaps his pregnant patient with the intentions of performing a “reverse Exorcism”, putting Jackson inside her unborn child. It doesn’t take long to figure out Jackson isn’t the only ghost the grandparents invited into their home. Now it’s a race against time for the couple, as well as the pregnant woman to figure a way out of the haunting they’ve set upon themselves.

“I couldn’t be happier to have our film ‘Anything ForJackson’ premiere at Fantasia. To have a festival with such a stellar reputation, right here in Canada has always given me a feeling of pride,” said director Justin G. Dyck. “Now to actually be a part of that festival, is truly a dream come true. We made this film for fans, and this is where they look for the latest and greatest in genre films.”

The film stars Sheila McCarthy (Die Hard 2, The Umbrella Academy), Julian Richings (Orphan Black, Supernatural), – both described by Fantasia as Canadian genre royalty – Konstantina Mantelos (A Christmas Crush), Josh Cruddas (Polar), and Yannick Bisson (Another Wolfcop, Murdoch Mysteries). ANYTHING FOR JACKSON is produced by Bill Marks (Forsaken, Wolfcop), Christopher Giroux (I’ll Take Your Dead, Bite), Keith Cooper and Justin G. Dyck with executive producers Jesse Ikeman (A Perfect Plan, Survival of the Dead), Justin Rebelo (United We Fan, Room For Rent) & Audrey Cummings (She Never Died, Berkshire County).

“Congratulations to the team at Vortex Words + Pictures! We were thrilled to learn that Anything for Jackson will be making its World Premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival,” said Don McDonald, President and CEO, Super Channel. “As long time supporters of Fantasia, we think it’s the perfect place to introduce the film to Canadian horror fans and we look forward to bringing it to our subscribers on Super Channel Fuse later this Fall.”
