In 1977, Herb Robins directed The Worm Eaters. It was one of the worst movies ever made. It was so bad that I thought no one would dare to make another film in which worms were ingested ever again. I was wrong.
Forty-five years later, here comes All Jacked Up and Full of Worms. Incredibly enough, it is so monumentally bad that it makes Robins’ film look like Citizen Kane. This is without a doubt one of the most loathsome movies I have seen in quite some time.
The plot (such as it is) follows a bunch of losers who get high from eating worms. That’s about it as far as the plot goes. In fact, I’m not even sure what was going on besides the worm eating as the film is so ineptly and incoherently put together.
If the movie was nothing more than a series of scenes of people getting high from eating worms, it would’ve been stupid, sure. Then, a scene so tasteless came along that I was almost tempted to turn the whole thing off. Said scene involves a guy receiving a sex doll in the mail. That doesn’t sound all that bad, does it? That is, until it’s revealed that the sex doll is in fact, a baby doll. Ugh. What’s worse is that later in the film, we see him having… uh… “relations” with it. Sigh. I guess worm eating alone wasn’t enough shock value. The filmmakers had to drag this disgusting subplot into the mix to further add to the air of griminess.
I think the “filmmakers” (note I put “filmmakers” in quotation marks) were going for a David Lynch Meets Troma vibe. That sounds good in theory, but the rampant unpleasantness and awful acting sinks it before it can even get out of the gate. I don’t want to overhype this by saying that it's the worst film I’ve seen on Tubi after five months of watching movies almost exclusively on the streaming service. If I say that, then I know some of you who read this will be tempted to actually go out and watch it. But yeah. It’s even worse than Bikini Hackers.
This worm will undoubtedly turn your stomach.
eh personally a guy fucking a baby doll isn't my idea of tasteless, stupid yes but i've seen far more offensive shit then that. I thought some the visuals were creative even if the film did drag at times.
