Jacked, a horror-suspense thriller directed by John Fucile has been acquired by Indican Pictures for release in the US..
Starring in the film are Marla Robison (Quantum Leap), Anthony Cipriani (The Blacklist), Wynn Reichert (Dark Waters), Kam Perez (Zodiac), and Tom Koch (Olive).
Jacked has screened at multiple festivals, including the Toronto Independent Film Festival and the Oregon Independent Film Festival, and is scheduled for release on June 30, 2026.
Set in the summer of 1987, Jacked follows two small-town teenagers whose day at the lake spirals into a fight for survival after their car breaks down, leaving them stranded on a remote causeway. As night falls, they discover they are being hunted by a relentless stalker who knows the terrain—and has no intention of letting them escape.
The independent film blends nostalgic 1980s atmosphere with a tense, modern survival narrative, delivering a stripped-down thriller driven by panic, terror, and psychological pursuit.
“Jacked taps into the primal fear of being hunted and the vulnerability of isolation,” said Randolph Kret from Indican Pictures.
Director John Fucile added, “We wanted to create something that feels both classic and immediate—drawing from the raw tension of 1980s thrillers while grounding it in a visceral, character-driven story.”
The film was written by Simon Fraser (Versus Valerie) and John Fucile (Elder Island), producers are Luc Montpellier (The Copenhagen Test), Kelsey Howarth, Simon Fraser, composer Michael Lantz, and cinematographer Michael Salvino (Anniversary).
