"Like They Live meet Dead Alive on speed!" Holy whoa! File this trailer under "Omfg!" The Horror Section has launched an official trailer for a totally batshit crazy indie horror film titled Jimmy and Stiggs, the latest creation from the mad mind of horror filmmaker Joe Begos. This premiered at Beyond Fest last year and has played at other genre fests. Practical FX galore in this aliens vs men neon horror movie. Here's a description: "Constantly high & drunk Jimmy gets a visit from some weird little grey men with big eyes & spiky needles. Joe Begos, writer, director and leading actor, brings pure madness to the screen. The brilliantly frenetic production keeps pace with Jimmy's increasing paranoia and the wacky, handmade bloody interludes splatter the screen with hectoliters of neon-colored alien slime." Starring Joe Begos and Matt Mercer – and tons of tiny grey aliens. This looks totally F'ing bonkers! In a good way!

When Joe Begos‘s holiday horror film Christmas Bloody Christmas was released back in December of 2022 (you can read an 8/10 review from our own JimmyO Here), the writer/director let it be known that he was hoping to make two sequels to that movie. But first, he intended to wrap up a horror project he had been working on since the early days of the Covid pandemic lockdowns: an alien invasion horror movie that he stars in, because the alternative would have been to cast someone who was in the Screen Actors Guild, which would have added thousands to the budget. Now we know that his sci-fi horror project is called Jimmy and Stiggs, and it’s going to be released by The Horror Section, a company that was just launched by genre regular Eli Roth a few months ago. The Horror Section is teaming up with Iconic Events to...

The first theatrical release from Eli Roth’s new label The Horror Section is Jimmy and Stiggs, the latest blast of insanity from director Joe Begos (Bliss, Christmas Bloody Christmas).

Jimmy and Stiggs will be released Unrated in theaters on August 15, 2025.

Check out the trailer below, debuted by Collider this afternoon.

Roth tells the outlet, “I realized that now with our new label I can distribute these incredible films, wide, in theaters for fans to experience with a screaming crowd on the big screen, unrated. I also liked the idea of people who have never seen a low budget 16mm insane splatterfest just walking in thinking it’s some normal movie and having their minds melted.”

The indie horror film “follows a down-on-his-luck filmmaker (Begos) who claims he was abducted by aliens, vowing to bring them down alongside his friend (Matt Mercer).”

“Rarely does a film stop me in my...

Media Capital Technologies (McT) and The Horror Section will fully finance and produce “Ice Cream Man,” Eli Roth’s new horror film.

Roth, a master of the genre whose work includes the “Hostel” and “Cabin Fever” franchise, returns with the story of an idyllic summer town descending into madness when an ice cream man serves kids sweet delights with horrifying results. Beyond that sparse teaser, the plot details are being kept under wraps.

Roth wrote the script and will direct from an original idea he has had for over twenty years. He says that the delay is because studios got antsy about financing it. The filmmaker launched The Horror Section earlier this year with the goal of making the kind of independent scary movies that made him famous.

Roth will also produce “Ice Cream Man” alongside McT’s Christopher Woodrow and Raj Singh and Cream’s Kate Harrison. Executive producers...
