A struggling Hollywood actress haunted by memories of an invasive childhood trauma, Rose is driven to the edge by life-changing news, an upcoming high-pressure audition, and the controlling machinations of her boyfriend's lunatic mother. Escaping to the small mountain town of Idyllwild during a forest fire, Rose hides out in a kitschy honeymoon motel where she soon finds herself trapped in a twisted, magenta-tinged fairytale. The humming halls of the lurid, bizarre Crown Inn become the blood-soaked stage for an epic battle in which Rose's inner demons are made incarnate. Taking various forms, including a deranged bellhop, a pickled proprietress, and the sharp-tongued seductress in the room next door, an intense confrontation with the deepest and darkest sources of Rose's pain looms before her.
The debut feature from director Julie Pacino, I LIVE HERE NOW is a psychosexual thriller told in hyper-saturated hues, boldly exposing pregnancy fears, self-harm, CPTSD, and beyond through a surreal feminist lens. Led by Lucy Fry's fearless performance, the film co-stars Madeline Brewer, Lara Clear, and Sarah Rich as the weird women of the Crown Inn, and features mesmerizing turns from Cara Seymour (American Psycho, The Knick) and Sheryl Lee (Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me). Like a neon-dipped Repulsion, I LIVE HERE NOW was filmed on 16mm and 35mm film, bringing the Pepto pinks and velvet blues to giallo-tinged life. Vinegar Syndrome Pictures is thrilled to bring this daring initial feature from a new, visionary filmmaker to Blu-ray with hours of extras featuring the cast and crew.

"I’ve heard nothing but great things about this movie. The release here is great with a hard slipcase. Also included an essay booklet. Happy to have this in my collection."
— Ant D. (5/5)
Decent indie sexploitation film.
"If this is only Alex Phillips second feature, I'm curious to see what else he can bring to the table. Anything But Moves is a little all over the place in style but the devil is in the details with it."
— Branden Y. (3/5)
Different Enough to be Worth Collecting
"Terrific design and packaging, and the film is sufficiently creative and original for this Vinegar Syndrome box to be a true collector's item that I'm happy to own. The film itself is not funny enough to be a comedy, not sexy enough to be erotic, and not scary enough to be horror, so what is it except a mostly fun adventure built on the literal visualization of a popular saying."
— Robert C. (3/5)
A great blind buy
"Baum is magnetic in the lead role and I’m extremely happy with this blind buy. I’m looking forward to revisiting the film. The Special Features are great with most of the main cast prominently featured in interviews. A great release for a very fun, cool film."
— Charles C. (4/5)
Interesting, odd mix of genre
"An erotic thriller, giallo, slasher, character drama, love story, sex film, horror, police movie. It's a weird one. A lot of it works, but tonally it's a bit of a hard follow. Too surreal and goofy to take entirely seriously, but enough dark tone and gore that it can't really be laughed at most of the time. But that's as much a benefit as a deficiency. It's truly unique. Some of the actors describe the ending as romantic. Not exactly what I got from it. But any great movie is open to interpretation. They raise questions. The main one that occurred to me while watching this film was should I get a toupee? Pick up a copy and see what you think. I have to say most of the new films VinSyn have been releasing through the VSP line are things that no other company would ever release. Isn't that how it should be?"
— Ed K. (4/5)
Gregg Araki Meets William Lustig
"Absolutely loved this sleazy flick. Looks absolutely incredible."
— Tyler M. (5/5)
Feral Joy Ride
"Snatched this up when I saw the director was responsible for All Jacked Up and Full of worms. Alex Phillips is part of what I call the Feral director movement. Like Quentin Dupieux, Damon Packard, Joel Potrykus, directors of A Grand Mockery early John Waters and Harmony Korine, Directors who are not shackled and enslaved to the Hollywood political system. Directors who give us the rare gift of authenticity. I loved the opening character introduction scenes where we meet the door dash 'delivery' guy and his customers. Wish the whole movie focused more on them and the lighthearted lead character who just likes to see people light up. . It went into a horror movie way to fast- with great practical effects-and sprinted to the finish line leaving me wanting more. Favorite quotes; "I can tell, you're a moron just like me, just a vast empty head, a portal to discovery'"and "I don't know how you can deal with kids, don't you know they come out of women" Loved the double slip with essay booklet. So happy Vinegar Syndrome Pictures produced this:)"

Anything That Moves
"Great film and a very worthy blind buy."
— Ryan F. (5/5)
Wild movie!
"Starting up Anything That Moves and then realizing why it was given that title is really funny. Outsider stuff right here -- really weird, gross and lots of fun. Had a blast!"
— Michael W. (4/5)
A thrilling indie
"Filled with some bizarre moments unlike anything I’ve seen before, this is a daring indie project that’s truly one of a kind."
— Joe P. (4/5)
