USA in the 1970s. We follow the highly intelligent Jack (Matt Dillon, Crash) over a span of 12 years and are introduced to the murders that define Jack's development as a serial killer. We experience the story from Jack's point of view, while he postulates each murder is an artwork in itself. As the inevitable police intervention is drawing nearer, he is taking greater and greater risks in his attempt to create the ultimate artwork. Along the way we experience Jack's descriptions of his personal condition, problems and thoughts through a recurring conversation with the unknown Verge (Bruno Ganz, Downfall) - a grotesque mixture of sophistry mixed with an almost childlike self-pity and psychopathic explanations. The House That Jack Built is a dark and sinister story, yet presented through a philosophical and occasional humorous tale.

Alright if you're in the mood for sick and twisted. Not so much if you're going to get triggered by violence against women and children.

I don't mind a horror but It just got more and more sick until I turned it off after he started shooting kids

Plenty of sick, no insight. An atrocity that actually deserves burning the print.
