The House That Jack Built is a 2018 psychological horror film written and directed by Lars von Trier. It stars Matt Dillon, Bruno Ganz, Uma Thurman, Siobhan Fallon Hogan, Sofie Gråbøl, Riley Keough, and Jeremy Davies. Its plot follows Jack (Dillon), a serial killer who, over a 12-year period beginning in the late 1970s, commits numerous murders in the U.S. state of Washington.
