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 tracks the way Jimmy and Stiggs did,” Eli Roth said in a recent statement. “I grew up on Sam Raimi and Peter Jackson’s low budget over the top splatter fests, and very few filmmakers have ever achieved that level of insanity. Horror fans have not had an experience like this in the theaters in a long time and the spirit, anarchy and fun of the movie represents everything I want to bring to the masses in theaters.”
The Horror Section is a just-launched independent studio from Eli Roth, with a focus on making theatrical horror movies without studio interference. Learn more about the venture here.
Roth will be directing two upcoming horror movies under the new umbrella, one the “terrifying” and “insane” Ice Cream Man and the other a Giallo-style movie titled Final Cut.
