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.

Like it's characters, it's smarter than it looks at first glance.

There are lots of films that address the messy tendencies of dude friendships and what happens when they meet unbreachable barriers, but none of them reach down into the bile and hurt and corrosive rage like Jimmy and Stiggs does.

Credit where due for commitment to the bit. But it’s a chaotic, loud bit that is more interesting in yelling, swearing and sliming up the joint at every turn instead of finding new ways to make the bit entertaining.

Rated: 1.5/4

Culture Mix

This neon-drenched, profanity-filled splatterfest (about two friends fighting space aliens in an apartment) becomes tiresome because of the flimsy plot and bad acting. It's an inferior Rob Zombie wannabe horror film starring two Rob Zombie look-alikes.

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.
