ALL JACKED UP AND
FULL OF WORMS
"I thought the theater might be raided, and we might all be arrested.”
Roscoe, a janitor for a scuzzy love motel, whose girlfriend has brought another man home for strange rituals, drifts through life until he discovers a hidden stash of powerful hallucinogenic worms.
Guided by visions of a giant floating Worm, he encounters Benny, a moped enthusiast trying to manifest a baby from an inanimate sex doll.
They fall in love with doing worms together on a downward spiral into the primordial ooze.

“A EUPHORIA-FUELLED RAMPAGE.”
- VARIETY
“WILD AND DISTINCT”
- ROGER EBERT
“The film took home a special jury mention from Fantasia Festival’s New Flesh competition, a hugely impressive feat for a pandemic-shot debut with a tiny budget. If worms are your movie snack of choice (and no, not the gummy variety), then All Jacked Up will be one freakfest you don’t want to miss.”
- FANGORIA
“TO ‘DO WORMS’ IS SO DUMB IT IS BRILLIANT.”
- PASTE MAGAZINE
“AN UNDERGROUND COMEDY IN THE TABOO-BREAKING SPIRIT OF JOHN WATERS AND HIS ’70S DREAMLANDERS; THE TYPE OF FILM WHERE EVERYONE IS HIGH AND NAKED AND REVELING IN FILTH AND DEGENERACY”
- LETTERBOXD CREW'S TOP TEN
"IT'S A MOVIE THAT WILL BECOME A MANTLEPIECE FOR TRANSGRESSIVE DEBAUCHERY ON FILM."
- COMIC BOOK.COM
“IT’S SURE TO BECOME A GROSS-OUT CLASSIC THAT’LL HAVE AUDIENCES TALKING FOR YEARS TO COME.”
- DREAD CENTRAL
“THIS IS IMMERSIVE FILMMAKING WITH A STRONG OUTSIDER VOICE.”
- EYE FOR FILM
“ALL JACKED UP AND FULL OF WORMS is supremely fucked up, gross out, midnight movie nonsense of the highest degree. Feels like it was written on coke and edited on mushrooms. Incomprehensible madness for all the cult loving mutants out there.”
- C. ROBERT CARGILL (SINISTER, THE BLACK PHONE)
“DISTURBING, DISGUSTING, DEMENTED, AND OCCASIONALLY DELIGHTFUL” - SCREEN ANARCHY
“THE BRAIN STICKINESS OF THE TITLE ALL JACKED UP AND FULL OF WORMS IS ONE OF THE MOST APT IN RECENT CINEMA.”
- NERDIST
“AN EXQUISITE-CORPSE GAME CONSTRUCTED OUT OF SLIMY VISCERA OR A BURROUGHS-ESQUE CUT-UP”
- IN REVIEW
“I can imagine Phillips watching people trying to get at the black heart of his movie and having a laugh once they’ve become as deluded as his characters.”
- CBS NEWS SAN ANTONIO
"ONE OF THE BEST THINGS A CINEPHILE CAN EXPERIENCE WHEN SITTING DOWN TO WATCH A FILM KNOWING NOTHING ABOUT IT, IS WITHIN MINUTES YOU CAN JUST TELL YOU'RE IN AN ASSURED FILMMAKER'S HANDS."
