... 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.
