  • Cactus Jack

    Coming 1/22/21...

    Press release!

    When an amateur documentarian sets out to make a film about a man who hasn't left his mother's basement in six months, he discovers the recluse is in fact a vile doomsday hatemonger. The tables are turned when the maniac snaps, imprisons him, and takes control of the cameras to start a vitriolic, venomous podcast—making enemies far and wide and promising violent retribution.

    This challenging, polarizing, partially crowdfunded $20,000 micro-budget feature film written & directed by The Thornton Brothers is their debut feature (shot almost exclusively on iPhones in their own basement with a cast of two and crew of zero). CACTUS JACK may be a found footage horror film treatise on viral hate and the complicity of social media, but it is also a labor love that took almost four years to make—and in doing so has just grown more and more relevant and terrifying given the current state of the country and world in terms of racial injustice, tribalism, xenophobia, misogyny, political partisanship, and the violence associated with “othering” and domestic terrorist hate movements.

    Genre Horror
    Starring R. Michael Gull
    Written & Directed by The Thornton Brothers

    I was thinking Mick Foley was doing a horror movie.

        I'm not even a wrestling guy, haven't been since I was 15, and I thought it was about Mick Foley. I would be very surprised if "Cactus Jack" isn't trademarked by McMahon.

        If they make a sequel will they name it Dude Love?

          A prequel will be named Cactus Jack Manson!

          I bet Mick owns the Cactus Jack name. Since he was using it long before he got to WCW and WWF.

            I could see McMahon co-owning the name. Especially for the merch. Either McMahon will sue, Mick Foley will sue, or the filmmakers found some obscure loophole ala Alien 2: On Earth.

              Usually most wrestlers if they used the name before WWE they own the name and just license it to Vince. Like CM Punk did. That is why when Christian left he got to keep his name.

              Then you got ones like Ultimate Warrior or Ryback where they leave and changed their legal names into their wrestling names so they can use them outside WWE.
