“The atmosphere drips with skin-crawling suspense, as the locations bring a tangible sense of realism (and peril) to the weirdness.” – Vodzilla.co

A terrifying nightmare that’s so real, even daylight brings no relief.
Scott and Penny just moved to a remote cabin to escape the pressures of the world and breathe new life into their art. Their only neighbor for miles is a strange hermit who only comes out at night, under the shroud of darkness. He never acknowledges them, never speaks, never does anything except drag his strange, disturbing sculptures deep into the woods, night after night, without rest. As Scott and Penny get deeper into his world, they start to suspect that this man is actually an infamous, reclusive artist known only as “Mr. Jones”, and they’ve stumbled across a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to document his bizarre existence. But this is only the beginning. When Scott and Penny delve too deeply into Mr. Jones’ existence, everything around them turns in on itself – and their only escape is through the realm of their own nightmares…
From the producer of Sundance smash hit The Pact and the writer of Xavier Gens, The Divide, “Mr. Jones” is “Cabin in the Woods” meets “Jacobs Ladder”.
“It’s creepy, it has great acting, a unique storyline, and it is the kind of film you can discuss with people long after it’s over and still find new things to talk about.” – The Blogging Banshee
“It’s best to go into ‘Mr. Jones’ knowing as little as possible. It can only help when watching Mr. Jones, which takes likable characters and distinctly creepy imagery and applies them to a story that becomes quite the head trip. To say much more would spoil the fun.” – Vox
“’Mr. Jones’ will keep you compelled, mainly for Mueller’s excellent direction and ability to build a world mainly out of light, and stark colors. And though the path to uncovering the mystery is quite a task, I found the resolution satisfying. ‘Mr. Jones’ is worth a look for its atmosphere, and valiant attempts at supernatural and meta-storytelling.” – Cinema Crazed
