An avant-gutter psychedelic dream, Anything That Moves is an erotically charged, blood-soaked thriller set in the sticky corridors of Chicago.

“Something approaching the ribald anarchy of John Waters, coming home to Chicago.” – Clint Worthington, RogerEbert.com

“The film’s aesthetic combines 1970s era porn vibes with that decade’s sleazy, gory grindhouse horror gruesomeness.” – Joseph Perry, B&S About Movies

“While a love letter to 1970s adult films, it is also a love letter to cult films from the same era. Its urban fairytale visuals create a dreamlike quality to the film that echoes early Sean Baker.” – Nadia Arain, The Rolling Tape

Shot on fleshy Super 16mm, director Alex Phillips’ rust belt giallo continues on his trajectory of taboo-shattering horror cinema with this tense, funny, and absolutely twisted murder mystery. The film follows nubile sex worker Liam who bikes with his girlfriend—his partner in both business and pleasure—through the city delivering snacks and divine satisfaction to his love-hungry clients. Meanwhile, a serial killer’s gory murders are piling up and all the evidence seems to point back to the lover’s bed. Produced in collaboration with cult home video outfit Vinegar Syndrome, the film features stand-out supporting performances from erotic film legends Ginger Lynn (The Devil’s Rejects) and Nina Hartley (Boogie Nights). With an original instrumental score by Chicago-based artists Cue Shop calling to mind the lush orchestrations of Bruno Nicolai and lurid visuals by acclaimed cinematographer Hunter Zimny (The Scary of Sixty-First, Funny Pages), Anything That Moves provides an immersive throwback to 70s exploitation flicks.
