I’ve also seen a pair of movies that take place entirely on a Zoom call, and even more that feature Zoom in some way. We’re still quarantining, 12 months later, and I’ve already seen three movies with that premise. And on March 18, it will have been 365 days since I blithely tweeted, after only one delirious week of lockdown, that “No one will be fully prepared for the wave of indie films hitting 18 months from now about people falling in or out of love when they end up stuck together during quarantine.” The joke, it turned out, would be on me. March 10, according to my calendar app, was the date of a friend’s book party, which was the last time I set foot in a bar (I also left reminders for myself to pick up some boneless pork shoulder and my dry cleaning).

I am not sure I knew what the term “”reverse-exorcism” would mean before watching this movie, but the basic idea is that grandparents Audrey and Dr. Dyck, and written by Keith Cooper, Anything For Jackson tells the story of a couple of grandparents who will go to any length to keep the memory of their deceased grandchild alive, and I mean any. That said, Anything For Jackson is a worthy addition and proves that there is still plenty to get out of exorcisms if you are willing to take a different approach to the genre.
I mean, when one of the greatest and most legendary horror movies of all time is literally called The Exorcist, I am not really sure where else you can go. One of the most popular, and at times exhausted, horror movie subgenres is the exorcism movie.
