A very DIY, very microbudget movie about depressed thrill-seekers who seek out the exciting new high of… worms.
Director Alex Phillips and a team that includes producer Ben Gojer, who created the film’s unsettling creatures, fills the screen with horrible behavior, but uses all the tools of moviedom — the expectation of catharsis, uplifting music — to make us root for people we know we shouldn’t be rooting for.
It’s easily one of the strangest movies we’ve ever seen, but but also an intoxicating cinematic experiment.
