This is a plot by Lars von Trier of the mind of a serial killer called Jack over 12 years. The movie reflects in the form of recounting each of his many murders, forming a basis of his mixed philosophy and rationalization of those acts. Shot on a spate of graphic violence, this is a thought-provoking discussion on some of the themes of art versus morality and what it means to be evil.

Von Trier's provocative style continues to challenge the viewer through its bleak outlook and thought-provoking storyline, bringing them into the discussion on the nature of art and the human condition. The House That Jack Built is a disturbing dive into a fractured mind.
