Eli Roth’s The Horror Section Releases Unrated Jimmy and Stiggs Trailer Ahead August 2025

Jimmy and Stiggs is an unrated indie horror film directed by Joe Begos, known for his previous works Bliss and Christmas Bloody Christmas, and will be released in theaters on August 15, 2025. The film follows a down-on-his-luck filmmaker who claims alien abduction and prepares for an alien battle alongside his friend, delivering a hallucinatory, neon-soaked gore fest filled with practical effects and intense splatter. Premiering as the first release from Eli Roth's new label, The Horror Section, the movie took Begos four years to complete, with Roth praising its creative camerawork and dedication reminiscent of classics like Evil Dead. Roth highlights that the film embodies the spirit of over-the-top, low-budget splatter fests and represents the kind of fearless filmmaking The Horror Section aims to showcase. The collaboration with genre veterans and the film's unique production process, including shooting on 16mm film and the extensive use of practical effects, contribute to its highly anticipated cult status. Jimmy and Stiggs is positioned as a fresh, anarchic experience for horror fans seeking a wild theatrical event.
