Perhaps I will change my rating next time I see this again...but my recollection is that this film is loathsome.

On a technical level this is one of the worst things I've seen but it has the virtue of unpredictability. Made outside of Hollywood censorship, with content which is surprising to see in such an old film, and only to make money, it manages to cram so many entertaining aspects into 50 or so minutes. The result is either a) a barrage of bad taste which is invigorating rather than numbing or b) unintentional anti-cinema, and either way it stands out when terrible films are usually life draining.

It's Lovecraft's Re-Animator meets The Black Cat with sexy results. It's everything you'd want out of 30's horror with mad science, corpses, cellars, flappers in lingerie and even the occasional flashes of nudity. The crew for Reefer Madness must have studied this film frame by frame because they're so similar it's spooky! [Rifftrax had a lot of fun with this one and you know it was a true labor of love and outshines Reefer Madness too! I hope they do Child Brides next.]

I don't toss this term around lightly, but this movie is trippy!

Remains Dwain's most enduring contribution to our bad-cinema archives. One of the strangest sustained hallucinations ever to flicker before grindhouse audiences's disbelieving orbs. As an arresting officer notes at film's end, "Man, you're crazy."

Hilariously improbable. Also, complete garbage.
