A shitstorm of bad news sends out of work filmmaker Jimmy Lang (Joe Begos) spiraling into an out of control bender, during which he claims to have been abducted by aliens. Fearing they'll come back, he contacts his old friend Stiggs (Matt Mercer) to help him gear up for war. When the sun sets, the duo are thrown into a hallucinatory explosion of aliens, drugs, booze, and all out carnage. Joe Begos is back! And this time, he's brought his A-game with a drug-fueled, wall-to-wall frenzy that pulls no punches from the moment it begins. Channeling the hectic, chaotic brilliance of Jackson, Raimi, and other masters, Begos infuses his own unique tone and craftsmanship into JIMMY AND STIGGS. This film also showcases Begos's acting chops, delivering a physical performance that's part Keaton and a whole lot of Campbell. A wild and wonderful ride that truly deserves to be seen in the cinema with like-minded lunatics.

The film is a slick wallow into a cranked-up, self-destructive headspace that frequently over-compensates for what it lacks in plot and character development with sheer vigor and volume alone.

A total romp, delivering all thrills and no frills of splattery creature mayhem in a tight runtime.

Jimmy and Stiggs is a chaotic, ferociously gory and wildly inventive descent into madness that’s tough to shake, even once it’s all over.

That Jimmy and Stiggs manages to sustain 80 minutes of this is impressive, and many will find their patience tested by the relentlessness of just about everything Begos chooses to commit to.

Rated: 4/5

Retina scarring neons form the foundation for Joe Begos’ crowd-pleasing juggernaut of midnight anarchy. Watch Jimmy and Stiggs big and loud, and preferably from behind shades.

I have no idea on how to describe this ride by Eli Roth. It’s funny, it’s messy & all over the place in the best way. It’s definitely for those with an acquired taste. Truly a trip on shrooms from start to finish.

This gem was shot on film with intriguing practical effects and is stacked with innovation and technique. It was great at the cinema and will be perfect at a house party.
