00:00 Welcome back to Movie Recaps. Today I will show you a horror movie from 2020,
00:04 called "Anything for Jackson". Spoilers ahead. Watch out and take care.
00:08 An old couple are seen having a casual conversation in their home.
00:12 They are wondering if a woman has arrived already, then they hear her outside and follow after her.
00:17 Suddenly, they're seen dragging a woman inside the house, as the wife says "mind the baby" and
00:23 hits the woman over the head. The husband takes the woman upstairs with the elevator,
00:27 as the wife closes the front door. The woman is seen gauged and a child's hand is touching her
00:32 on the face. She wakes up frantic, seeing a child next to her, greeting her. The wife calls out that
00:37 she's awake and when the husband joins them, she introduces herself as Audrey and him as Henry.
00:42 She tells the woman, Shannon, that they felt this would be the best way for her to go missing.
00:47 Audrey says that they won't hurt her or her baby, then sends Henry off to do the test.
00:51 He's outside, and as the woman starts screaming inside the house, he calls his wife and tells her
00:56 that nothing can be heard outside. Shannon asks what they want from her and Audrey tells her that
01:01 they need to bring their grandson back. When she asks if the boy in the room is the grandson,
01:06 the old woman is surprised that she can see him because he's dead. Audrey puts on some music in
01:11 the room, saying Jackson loves music and leaves her alone with him. Audrey tells Henry that Jackson
01:16 showed himself to the woman, which makes him happy. He leaves for work and on his way out
01:20 runs into Rory. Audrey comes back into the room, bringing vitamins for the woman and going through
01:25 her things, taking her phone out of her pocket, as well as some pills. When she leaves for a moment
01:30 to get her glasses, the woman grabs the phone, but is quickly stopped by Audrey coming back in the
01:35 room. She unlocks her phone and goes on her social media, sending a message to a man to meet her
01:41 later that day. Audrey calls Henry at work and tells him it's done. At his practice, his assistant
01:46 asks about Shannon, who was his patient and if she'll be coming in soon considering she's nearing
01:51 her due date. He lies his way out of the situation. In a flashback, the old couple is seen with an
01:57 ancient book preparing to raise a raven back from the dead. Audrey chants an incantation and the
02:02 raven is brought back. Henry doesn't like what she's doing, but she tells him that she only
02:07 needed proof if the book is real. Back in the present, the two of them walk to a community
02:11 center, trying to keep up appearances and they meet with Ian. He tells them that he couldn't
02:16 find the book they already have and Audrey is upset he might tell someone about it. They walk
02:20 into a Satanist meeting. As everyone puts on their robes and light black candles, the main priestess
02:25 starts the prayer to Satan. In another flashback, Henry is talking to Shannon as her doctor,
02:30 telling her that she's pregnant. She's not happy about it, considering she doesn't even know the
02:35 father's name. As he's trying to calm her, he also texts his wife that he found the right one and
02:40 takes a picture of Shannon for his wife. The same picture is seen on the wall in the room she's
02:44 sleeping in. She coughs up blood, waking up to see that the couple have prepared the room for
02:49 a Satanist ceremony. She begs them not to go through with it, as they are already praying
02:54 and inviting Satan into their home. They both cut their hands to offer their blood and spill it onto
02:59 a heart, when Shannon begins convulsing. They pray in Latin, as everything in the room animates and
03:04 they finally see Jackson in the room. He points toward the woman, as Audrey keeps reading and
03:09 then he disappears. A demon appears next to Shannon for a few moments and when it's gone,
03:14 the couple check to see how she is and hear the baby's heartbeat. Audrey thinks it's Jackson's
03:18 heartbeat, but Henry isn't convinced. The following morning Henry wakes up and Audrey isn't
03:23 next to him. He looks over to the bathroom and a woman is flossing her teeth, as he keeps talking
03:28 to her, thinking it's Audrey. Suddenly, his wife calls him on the phone and he realizes that the
03:33 woman in the bathroom isn't Audrey. She doesn't stop flossing her teeth and they keep falling on
03:37 the ground. She turns and walks toward Henry. Suddenly, Audrey comes in the room and the woman
03:43 disappears. Later, he's working in his office, when a police officer comes to see him. Detective
03:49 Bellows tells him that Shannon is a missing person and that she's tracing her steps. Henry lies that
03:54 she cancelled her appointment, but his assistant reminds him of the lie he told her before,
03:58 that he saw her walking by his house the day she went missing. The detective isn't fooled by his
04:03 shenanigans. He calls Audrey and tells her what happened, but she doesn't take the fact that he
04:07 changed the plan lightly. Suddenly, there's a knock on the door and she goes to answer it.
04:12 There's a ghost trick or treating on the other side. Audrey dismisses the ghost and closes the
04:17 door, but there's another knock. She opens the back door and the ghost is there too.
04:21 Immediately as she closes that one the ghost knocks on another door, inside the house. She
04:27 walks upstairs to call Henry, but hears running in the house and when she looks down, it's the
04:31 little ghost. She finally reaches Henry on the phone and tells him what is happening, when he
04:36 tells her to give the ghost her soul. She chases after the ghost to the elevator, but it comes out
04:41 of it transformed into a giant version of itself. Later, Shannon asks Audrey why she was screaming
04:46 before and she says that her daughter came to see her. She avoids the question about what happened
04:51 to her daughter. Shannon is left alone in the room and immediately tries to escape, but when she
04:55 reaches to one of her restraints, sees a man suffocating next to her bed. He stands up,
05:00 walks around the room, then notices her and walks back to her, crawling on top of her and biting
05:05 into her pregnant belly as she screams for Audrey. She's at the door and can't get it open,
05:10 but when she finally does, the suffocating ghost runs toward her. Suddenly Henry appears,
05:15 stopping the ghostly manifestation. The couple are getting ready for bed, as Henry tells her
05:20 that he stitched up Shannon and she'll be alright. Audrey doesn't know what they did and wonders if
05:25 they made a mistake. In a flashback, Henry meets with Shannon outside of his house. She's excited
05:31 to be a mom, not afraid anymore. Back in the present, Rory comes back and Henry goes to meet
05:36 him, while Audrey plans to sedate Shannon. The two men talk outside, but the man is persistent
05:41 to clean his driveway. He starts the machine in front of the house, as Audrey and Henry argue
05:46 inside. She's afraid that they did the ritual wrong and Jackson isn't there. Rory calls out to
05:51 them from the front yard and says that they did it right and Jackson is coming back to them,
05:55 then suddenly puts his head inside the machine. Later, Audrey goes inside the room to clean
06:00 Shannon up. She removes the restraints and puts a cozy on the handcuffs. Shannon asks if they'll
06:06 kill her after they get the baby, but Audrey says that their rule was not to harm her. As they talk,
06:11 the door of the room opens and Audrey tells her that she reminds her of her daughter.
06:15 She was in the same accident with Jackson, but didn't die right away. She killed herself in the
06:20 elevator in the house. Meanwhile, Henry is burying Rory in the woods, when his phone rings. It's the
06:26 detective doing a follow-up with him, asking to come and see him. He tries to get some information
06:31 out of her and she avoids his questions. She tells him she'll meet him at the house in an hour.
06:36 Back at the room, Shannon pleads with Audrey to let her be Jackson's mom, along with them,
06:41 to look after him after they die. She says she'll do whatever they want. There's a knock on the
06:46 door, so Audrey gags her again and leaves locking the door behind her, but the door unlocks by
06:50 itself. Henry runs home, but the detective is there already. She's waiting for him inside Shannon's
06:56 room, with Audrey handcuffed next to her. She tells him to get on his knees, as Shannon is begging for
07:02 her to let her out, but the detective turns to her and calmly kills herself. Henry releases Audrey
07:07 from the cuffs and they get the detective's body out of the room. Henry buries her in the same
07:11 place as Rory. The next day, Audrey tries to tell him about Shannon's request, but there's a knock
07:16 on the door. It's Ian, asking for the book. They show him the book and Henry tells him the story
07:22 of how he got it. Audrey asks if he could read it, to which he says that it's been written in
07:26 different languages and dialects, and is possibly the oldest book in the world. They ask about the
07:31 invocation spell and he tells them to show him exactly what they did when they used it. When
07:36 they do, he says that once the door to purgatory is opened, every ghost there will be looking for
07:40 a host. He asks about the host they used and they take him to Shannon. They ask Ian if Jackson is in
07:46 there and he replies that he isn't, but that he can be. They need to finish the ceremony by making
07:51 a sacrifice of the mother. Ian says he can perform the ceremony, if they allow him to keep the book
07:56 and give him $10,000. He will perform the ceremony the next day, but they need to put rock salt
08:01 around Shannon and themselves to keep the other ghosts away. That night, both Henry and Audrey
08:06 are in the room with Shannon, having put salt around the entire thing. Shannon tells Henry
08:11 about her idea for the baby, but he says she can't win a moral argument with him because he already
08:16 made a deal with the devil. He tells her that Audrey was the one driving the car when Jackson
08:20 died, but she couldn't remember. Henry is doing all of it for her. Suddenly, the ghost of the
08:25 detective walks in and kills herself all over again. Ian is in his basement, reading the book,
08:31 when his mom calls him up for lunch. He angrily grabs his stuff and leaves. Then, he arrives at
08:36 the house and as he walks in the bedroom, the detective appears behind him. The others aren't
08:41 surprised by that anymore, saying she's been doing that all night. Ian starts right away,
08:46 giving the couple instructions on what to read. The detective walks in again. He says that salt
08:52 just slows them down, but a sacrifice will stop them. Ian continues with the instructions as the
08:57 detective shows up again, but doesn't shoot herself this time. Him and Henry go outside
09:02 and he measures where certain objects should be placed around the house. He tells Henry that he
09:06 is the one that needs to kill the mother, without hesitation, because if he does hesitate, they will
09:11 all die. Back in the room, Audrey is drawing a pentagram, as Shannon tries to distract her.
09:16 She asks for some food and Audrey goes out to get some. Shannon breaks out from her restraints and
09:22 pours water on herself, pretending she's having the baby. Audrey comes in and calls for Henry.
09:27 She's getting Shannon ready as the two men come in. Ian disturbs the salt as he walks inside.
09:32 He immediately starts reading from the book, as Audrey is worried if Jackson is in there and
09:37 Henry keeps getting messages from the priestess of their cult. The pentagram starts shining and
09:42 Ian says it's working. Henry picks up and it's the priestess telling him that Ian killed his mother
09:46 and drew symbols on his house. He tells Audrey that something is wrong with Ian, but tells him
09:51 to keep going. Shannon gets out of her restraints and grabs Audrey, saying she'll cut her throat if
09:56 Henry doesn't undo her legs. Both Audrey and Ian tell him not to do it. But Henry still does it,
10:02 then Ian kills Audrey saying a mother's a mother. He spills blood at Henry and continues the
10:06 ceremony, while Shannon is trying to get out of the restraints and Audrey dies in Henry's arms.
10:11 Suddenly Shannon stabs Ian and a giggling ghost comes in and grabs him, taking him away. He can
10:16 be heard screaming in the other room, as Shannon tries to get out. Suddenly, the suffocating ghost
10:22 rises behind her and goes toward her. Henry tells her to go and to forgive them. At that moment
10:27 something starts coming out of Audrey's body and scares the other ghost. The same happens to Henry
10:32 and Shannon runs away. She sees the giggling ghost and escapes, then the other two and goes to open
10:37 the door, when the giant ghost appears outside. She slams the door. Meanwhile, from the dead bodies
10:43 of Audrey and Henry, a creature has risen. Shannon is in the kitchen when she sees the keys, but
10:48 suddenly the detective appears and walk up to her, saying she'll protect her. The creature walks out
10:54 of the bedroom. Shannon comes out of the house and sees Rory there, but walks past by him. She
10:59 looks up and sees Jackson in the window, being taken away the next moment. Shannon drives away,
11:04 but as she's driving through the woods she sees something on the road. On a second look she
11:08 notices it's a pregnant woman. She looks down and sees blood on her belly. Make sure to subscribe
