Review of Anything That Moves (2026) by screenqueeen: 👍 4/5

so many influences converging to give birth to one of the most original horror art films i think i've ever seen. Phillips still brings his sense of humor well established from ALL JACKED UP AND FULL OF WORMS but it fits perfectly within the dirty 70s aesthetic. everything uniquely compliments each other. there are so many wholesome sexual encounters that leave you feeling fulfilled for all those involved, making it sadder and more impactful when discovering what the killer has done with the obscene juxtaposing defaced dollar bills stuffed into freshly tunneled orifices on those we've seen just recently at peace after ordering a $400 sandwich. this feels like a spiritual sibling to WORMS in how corruption is depicted and how reality becomes that much more malleable based on who holds the authority in any given situation. i also noticed Phillips contributed to the score (at least in the performance of it) lending vocals and conducting the ensemble. that's not an easy role, one which requires an intimate connection with the music to guide musicians through to keep everything feeling like one grand organism. it's a skill not all musicians have and to be the filmmaker behind two of the most provocative exploitation flicks to come out of the revival of shot-on-film indie features, this seems rare and precious. protect Alex Phillips at all costs.
