I found out about Lars Von Trier's work through social media. People were calling his work so disturbing I just had to check him out. Well, I wouldn't say they're wrong. I don't find serial killer movies too interesting, but this pulled me in, and kept me there. Lars Von Trier's cinematography is just so... different compared to other films. The shakiness of the camera is for some reason so unsettling. It adds a layer of realism, that just bugs me enough to keep me on edge throughout the film. Shortly after watching this, I watched Lars Von Trier's "antichrist" which was disturbing, and unsettling on a whole other level. Don't get me wrong, The house that Jack built is still quite disturbing, but it pales in comparison to Antichrist.
Overall, I'd recommend this film if you're looking for something more in-depth than other films about serial killers.
