Moviegoers are saying
This neon-soaked alien invasion splatter fest divides audiences between those who embrace its sweaty DIY energy and tactile practical effects, and those exhausted by its self-indulgent cult movie chasing. Shot in director Begos' own apartment with friends, it's either a lovingly crafted labor of love with genuine heart beneath the alien intestines, or an overstretched premise that peaks too early and never recovers.

    When I walked into the AMC theater in Times Square some guy pointed at me and said “I THINK THAT GUY IS IN THE MOVIE!” Needless to say it was a great time.  (I’m not in the movie.)

    Hand-made neon splatter gonzo filmmaking is Begos at his most playful and personal. A true indie labor of love and the strained friendship at the center of the film has a real heart that helps balance all the alien intestines.

    The best movie I’ve ever seen that was shot in an apartment where I’ve watched SPAWN (1997) a dozen times at 2am.

    An alien abduction, home invasion, splatter fest on hard drugs. I’ve never seen anything like it, and I love it for that.  It’s soaked in neon colors and black lights. The practical effects are incredibly impressive. It’s like going through an alien-themed haunted house on…

    Look, I like neon colored gel (black)lighting, scratchy 16mm, practical gore, and grey alien puppets as much as the next guy, and I really wanted to give this some DIY charm points for clearly being shot in his own apartment with his friends. But I can't help that I've…

    as lovingly tactile as it is irrefutably gross, which is the highest compliment I can pay a DIY genre film in 2025

    100 Days Of Halloween #114: Jimmy and Stiggs I went into Jimmy and Stiggs expecting a neon soaked splatter fest with incredibly low budget, DIY practical effects and man does it deliver on that in spades. What I did not expect was the hard hitting (if a bit on the nose)…

    This is a really weird film, but I enjoyed it. It is very bloody yet not bloody at all. The movie is only 80 minutes, but it did feel like it dragged on a little too long at times. My favorite part of this movie are the two fake trailers at the beginning. I was cracking up and would absolutely…
