Trailer Drop: "Jimmy and Stiggs" – First Look at Debut Film From Eli Roth's The Horror Section Delivers Alien Blood and Mayhem
Joe Begos' Alien Splatterfest Begins Melting Brains Ahead of August 15th Theatrical Release LOS ANGELES, May 28, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The official trailer for Jimmy and Stiggs has landed, offering horror fans their first chaotic peek into the mind-melting debut feature from Eli Roth's new production banner, The Horror Section. Directed, written, and starring indie horror renegade Joe Begos, Jimmy and Stiggs hits theaters nationwide on August 15, 2025. Filmed over the course of four years in Begos' own Los Angeles apartment and shot entirely on 16mm film, Jimmy and Stiggs is more than just a movie – it's a blood-soaked fever dream built from the ground up with zero compromise. In a new behind-the-scenes featurette, Begos and Roth reveal just how hands-on and unhinged the production truly was – from climbing into his closet rafters to rig camera pulleys to operating chainsaws on blood-slicked floors. The trailer showcases the film's signature blend of practical alien effects, neon-drenched visuals, and raw DIY camera work. Every creature in the film was handmade with puppetry, fishing wire, and even a robot hand toy for kids – a Frankenstein toolkit that speaks to the film's scrappy brilliance and commitment to practical effects in an era dominated by CGI. "Very few films stop me in my tracks and make me want to tell everyone I know about it. What better way to do that than by releasing it wide in theaters? I was so obsessed I had to speak to the madman behind it, Joe Begos, and when he told me how he committed four years, 50,000 feet of 16mm film, and did all the effects practical, I loved it even more. I haven't seen a movie like this since the first Evil Dead or Bad Taste," said The Horror Section Founder and Chief Creative Officer Eli Roth. Created with longtime collaborator Josh Ethier under their Channel 83 Films label, Jimmy and Stiggs has already become a word-of-mouth sensation after packed screenings at Beyond Fest and Sitges Film Festival, where audiences and critics hailed it as an instant cult classic. "It's been a long, messy, goopy, explosive, and backbreaking endeavor to get this handmade piece of exploitation to the finish line, and I can't wait to melt brains and sear eyeballs nationwide with this 16mm, cocaine-fueled alien psychedelic splatter fest, the way it was meant to be seen, on a big screen, with a packed audience," said Joe Begos. Jimmy and Stiggs is the first title from The Horror Section, Roth's bold new studio committed to theatrical-first, original horror content backed by Media Capital Technologies (MCT). The film will be distributed by The Horror Section in collaboration with Iconic Events. Upcoming releases include Eli Roth's highly anticipated new film, Ice Cream Man, which is set for a wide theatrical release during the 2nd quarter of 2026. With the trailer now live, Begos and Roth invite fans to join the madness. The countdown to August 15th begins now.

EVIL DEAD BURN Cast Comes Together with Hunter Doohan, Luciane Buchanan, and Tandi Wright — GeekTyrant
Things are heating up for the next installment in the Evil Dead universe. The cast of Evil Dead Burn is coming together, and it's already looking promising. According to Deadline, Hunter Doohan, best known for playing Tyler in Netflix's Wednesday , has signed on to star. He's joined by Luciane Buchanan ( The Night Agent ) and Tandi Wright ( Pearl ), with all three actors set to bring some fresh blood to the Sam Raimi-produced horror project. They'll join previously announced cast member Souheila Yacoub in the film, which is being directed by Infested filmmaker Sébastien Vaniček. He co-wrote the script with Florent Bernard, continuing the collaborative horror streak they started with their 2023 creature feature. We don't know anything about the story, but Vaniček previously said: 'I told the studio that I wanted to make a nasty film, a film that hurts, from which you come away tested. I'm going to put all the horror I have inside, it will be cathartic, and if I haven't ruined my career and I can continue to make films behind it, I will move on to something other than horror!' He is looking to create a film that hits with force and sticks with audiences. He added: 'I want people to feel physically drained when they leave the theater, like they've been through an emotional and intense journey. The ambition remains the same as with Infested: to create a visceral, sensory experience that punches the audience in the gut.' As a fan, that's exactly what I want to hear when it comes to the bone-snapping, soul-swallowing, blood-drenched legacy. Evil Dead Burn will follow the success of Evil Dead Rise , directed by Lee Cronin, which revived the series in 2023 with a grittier, blood-soaked twist. And with another untitled Evil Dead film also on the way from Francis Galluppi, so the Deadites aren't done with us yet! Since Sam Raimi first unleashed the Necronomicon in 1981, The Evil Dead has evolved from a scrappy cabin-in-the-woods shocker into a multi-generational horror juggernaut. With this new lineup and a director hungry to leave a mark (or maybe a scar), Evil Dead Burn is probably going to be a crazy-ass horror movie.
