All Jacked Up and Full of Worms Movie Reviews

All Jacked Up

Roscoe (Phillip Andre Botello) is in a weird place in life. He’s a janitor for a scuzzy love motel ad his girlfriend has brought another man home for strange rituals. But he does have a stash of powerful hallucinogenic worms, visions from a floating worm that is speaking directly to him and perhaps a new friendship with Benny (Trevor Dawkins), a moped enthusiast who is trying to manifest a homunculus baby from a sex doll. Manifest a baby from an inanimate sex doll.

Basically, a Hallmark movie for the kids.

Director and writer Alex Phillips said that this movie is “a meditation on psychosis. The only accurate way to convey insanity is to disregard the literal truth. All Jacked Up and Full of Worms is a dream that is impossible to break from autobiography. It’s about expressionistic maggots born in real wounds – maggots growing into big worms, too fantastical and deranged to be real, despite feeling heavy, wet and alive.”

I found it right up my alley – a gore-filled take on loneliness, connection and love that will make fans of movies like Society stand up and cheer through their tears and normal folk retch in their popcorn. That’s a standing ovation in my world.

I watched the whole thing …

… but I’m not sure why. I guess to get the most out of my ScreamBox free trial? Maybe to support independent film making? Maybe I’m just on worms … I’m really not sure any more.

The plot: a bunch of people start taking earthworms, which are apparently psychedelic, but moreso in a PCP kind of way than a psilocybin kind of way. It all starts when a sex worker offers Benny, who is obsessed with having a child (having ordered a very bizarre and disturbing sex doll), some worms to get high after he fails to perform with her.

He turns them down, but then winds up doing them anyway when his neighbor and motel room cleaner finds them. They run around tripping out, convincing others they know already, or have just met, to do worms until they encounter a murderous couple that are also into to doing worms and join up to … do more worms. And murder.

The rest unfolds in a weirder-than-Lynch series of disjointed trippy, gory imagery. As a hobbyist videographer/editor, I respect the production, effects, and editing, but throughout kept wondering why I was still watching, and even finished watching this. Even though I’m a big horror fan spanning a range from quality to over-looked gems, to campy to avant-garde, this one threw me for a loop.

If you’re still interested after reading this, by all means, press play.

Visually stimulating but offering very little else

While working at a remote hotel, a cleaner and his girlfriend stumble upon a strange batch of psychedelic worms left behind and indulge in the offerings which turn the entire relationship between them and several other residents in the hotel into a bizarre trip no one may come out alive.

This was a weird and generally bizarre effort. That this one offers a near-endless stream of over-the-top images with the outcome of the drugged worms offering the kind of ooze-filled visuals that denote a drug trip is really all it has going for it. The endless amount of times that someone is getting high off the strange worms through the highly unusual methods featured here and then undergoing a series of highly unconventional drug trips that provide the kind of bizarre format that gets a lot of its power through these unconventional concepts by putting those on the forefront of the scene. It gives the scenes a different nature and has the most to like here. Beyond that, though, there’s not much going on with the film. The imagery isn’t overtly scary but rather weird and that makes for the potential to be bored senseless with the endless repetition of different effects being utilized one after another. That’s also due to the lackluster story that never once goes for anything resembling a coherent storyline since what goes on here is played off like a series of illogically connected sketches loosely assembled into a feature-length running time. Very little of this comes off with any kind of foresight or logic and it tends to be incredibly frustrating as a result which all combine together to lower this one significantly.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity, and excessive drug use.
