Shudder's creepy 'Anything for Jackson' trailer is like blend of 'Misery' and 'Hereditary'
Watch Next

Exorcisms and kidnap are two themes that aren't particularly uncommon in horror movies — but it's not often that the two get spliced together.

That is exactly the case in Shudder's new trailer for Anything for Jackson, Justin G. Dyck's horror about a creepy couple who kidnap a pregnant woman in an attempt to put the spirit of their dead son into her unborn child. Yep.

If that description makes you wince a bit, the trailer will probably make you wince even more — but if you're a fan of Misery-style suspense or the type of eerie cult action seen in Hereditary and Kill List, this may be one for you.

Anything for Jackson drops on Shudder on Dec. 3.
