I'm no stranger to weird movie drugs, from the homemade hallucinogens created by the cult in "Mandy" to the seriously surreal Soy Sauce of "John Dies at the End," but doing worms is certainly a new one. In the upcoming horror film "All Jacked Up and Full of Worms," the movie's protagonists find their high by ingesting hallucinogenic worms. Check out the exclusive clip below to see exactly what kind of cinematic madness writer and director Alex Phillips has cooked up for fans of freaky films. It's only a tiny taste, but the full film will be coming to the Bloody Disgusting streaming app Screambox and VOD streaming services on November 8, 2022, just in time for everyone to start craving something spooky again after the horrors of Halloween.

Film is arguably the most challenging art form of them all. Seeing something disturbing in, say, a painting is vastly different than seeing something disturbing in motion on film. The way that movies are able to get underneath the skins of viewers is what makes the art form so special, and director Alex Phillips seems to fully understand this if his genre festival darling "All Jacked Up and Full of Worms" is any indication.
Roscoe (Phillip Andre Botello) finds himself stalled in life. His relationship with his girlfriend Samantha (Betsey Brown) has ended because she's taking exotic drugs with a strange guy named Jared (Noah Lepawsky). At the same time, perverted former bigot Benny (Trevor Dawkins) has his plans for fatherhood set back when he realizes the fake baby he ordered online is a sex doll. Their lives intertwine when they meet each other at the love hotel Roscoe works at,...

Back in July, we saw a teaser trailer for writer/director Alex Phillips’ film All Jacked Up and Full of Worms, which Cinedigm was planning to release through their streaming service Screambox sometime this fall. Now Cinedigm has announced that All Jacked Up and Full of Worms‘ Screambox release is scheduled for November 8th – and along with that announcement comes the unveiling of a full trailer for the film! You can check that out in the embed above.
Described as an “avant-gutter psychedelic freakout” and a subversively funny “transgressive splatter comedy”, this is Phillips’ feature debut. All Jacked Up and Full of Worms is
a flamboyant, darkly outrageous new vision that mashes together retro grindhouse thrills with the squirmy depths of underground cinema. Working at a seedy motel, maintenance man Roscoe is always searching for his latest fix. When he stumbles upon a powerfully hallucinogenic worm, his days of dime-store drugs are over.
