An avant-gutter psychedelic dream, ANYTHING THAT MOVES
is an erotically charged, blood-soaked thriller set in the sticky corridors of
Chicago. Shot on fleshy Super 16mm, director Alex Phillips‘ rust
belt giallo continues 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
lovers’ bed.
Produced in collaboration with cult home video outfit Vinegar Syndrome,
the film features standout 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.
