    ★★★★

    initially coming into it with low-ish expectations, I came out astounded by this film. at first i was skeptical of its "trippy" and "psychedelic" nature, as well as the title.. and was prepared for a letdown and expected it to be somewhat corny or a poor depiction of drug experiences etc. However, I was definitely proven wrong.

    i have seen a lot of movies that are disturbing just for the point of being disturbing, but this one did it right somehow. it was so unique and i am honestly creatively inspired.
