Details

A man named Jake Weaver stumbles across an old Jailakung board which he played around with not knowing it would open up the gates of hell. A demonic force latches onto him and takes over his mind slowly, making the good part of him rot away. Almost like a possession by a demon. Only this demon called itself Jengo Hooper. Expect some seriously mentally disturbing scenes, car chases, hot women, explosions, decapitated body parts and cannibalism.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Leofwine_draca JENGO HOOPER is an example of the 'grindhouse' horror film taken to its nadir. A no-budget indie effort that seeks to startle and shock with some explicit gore scenes, this is an unwatchable mess of a movie shot through a blurry filter that makes it look like somebody smeared Vaseline all over the screen. If you're thinking 'style over substance' then you'll be right, this is all about re-creating an old '70s grainy-style cinema effect complete with film clips and a voice-over narration. There's no narrative coherence whatsoever.
jasonjwilson If you do not read the back of the box you will have no idea what this movie is about. The filming style, while artistic, totally distracts you from the story line making it a garbled mess. If you want a movie with plot and substance then do not watch this. If you are high then go ahead and waste your time. The audio is terrible. There is so much background noise you cannot understand what anyone is saying. The video jumps between scenes so much you have no idea what is happening. I watched about 15 minutes of this and turned it off. It should have been more clearly marked as an art house film and not a horror film. Very disappointed with it and if i cannot get my money back i will burn it.
David Stewart I was a little dubious about this title with rumors of extreme gore and violence. Usually low budget films that advertise lots of gore and violence are not worth watching. I was pleasantly surprised when viewing 'Jengo Hooper'. The film is shot in a strange artistic way with lots of weird damaged footage and scrappy cut up shots.The film is done in a story type of way with the lead character doing some narration and explaining how, why and where. The film does have some intense and gory scenes.The acting was for the most part good although there are a few that seemed to taint the film slightly with some cheesy lines and wooden acting but we have to remember this is a low budget Grindhouse movie. I feel the director and producer did a great job recreating the old Grindhouse style of movie and bringing it into the present.Well worth watching, very entertaining and I will be on the look out for more work from the director 'Joe Wheeler' as it seems he is set for a long and successful career especially if he gets funding for projects.
