NY Times: JAKOB’S WIFE one of “Five movies to Stream Now”

‘Jakob’s Wife’

Rent or buy it on Amazon Prime, Google Play, Vudu.

When a mysterious figure attacks Anne (Barbara Crampton), the wife of a conservative small-town pastor (Larry Fessenden), it does more than turn her into a bloodsucking monster. The bite from the Master, as the Nosferatu-looking vampire is known, also awakens in Anne a thirst for the self-determination and sexual confidence she’s kept under wraps her entire marriage. Reinvented as a vamp (sorry), Anne is forced to question what it means to be a wife, a woman and a human.

Travis Stevens’s film layers feminism on top of comedy on top of vampire myth and gross-out splatter. It mostly clicks, and the reason is Crampton. With a decades-long career in out-there films including “Re-Animator,” she’s as close to acting royalty as horror gets. Here she is fearless as a woman discovering her powers within. (Stevens told the horror movie magazine Rue Morgue one of his goals was to give Crampton “her version” of Gena Rowlands’s harrowing performance in the John Cassavetes film “A Woman Under the Influence.”) Crampton’s chemistry with Fessenden, another horror vet, is the film’s activating element.

Director’s Statement:

This was my final project in my junior year video class in college. People always say that scent is the sense that is strongest tied to memory, but I think that sound is up there as well. I thought it might be interesting to compare the idea of a lost memory to the idea of a song being stuck in your head… a song you can’t quite place. I thought that might be similar to the idea of witnessing something horrible – not being able to remember but also not being able to forget. The idea was that the song would build as the memory progressed, until the memory became fully formed. It was also kind of an exploration of the idea called a “memory palace” – in which recollection is envisioned as exploring a physical space.
