![]() Given that I watch a myriad of low-budget genre films each and every week I’ve taken to measuring their quality on whether or not I actually WANT to keep watching a film or MUST keep watching in order to review it. Plus who doesn’t want to see a bunch of people tripping balls so much that that they enter complete psychosis! Oddball, off-kilter laughs they may be but they’re still laughs! For a horror-comedy Devil’s Acid is low on scares and high (pun intended) on laughs. Though unlike that film this terror trip is more trip and definitely less terror. Insomuch that we have a group of people trapped in a strange locale of their own choosing… well that and like Friedman’s film Devil’s Acid is cheap and cheerful in its execution. Packed with a variety of out-there characters – led by Johnny (Drew Rin Varick), a small man with a huge ego and big mouth – Devil’s Acid feels very much like Doom Asylum, Richard Friedman’s 1988 horror. ![]() Then the devil turns up – which taints the validity of everything! Oh and the guy telling the story is also IN the story… Did he experience it for himself or is he making it up as he goes along? Who knows but it makes for one hell of a film. Then everyone in said story takes acid – which taints the legitimacy of everything they say or do. So, and bear with me on this, we have a guy telling a story to some kids (who later hijack the story themselves) – which straight away taints the legitimacy of the story within. And the devil may or may not actually show up to taunt them all! They then start having problems differentiating between reality and the trip. Stars: Drew Rin Varick, Ashley Dulaney, Jessica Lynn Parsons, Betty Jeune, Eric Gibson, Misty Ormiston, Kim Ormiston, Finch Nissen, Garrett Kruithof, Nina Leon | Written by Eric Gibson, Finch Nissen | Directed by Garrett Kruithofīilled as the trippiest genre film of 2019, Devil’s Acid sees a drunk father (the films director Garrett Kruithof) telling his son a bedtime story about a group of people spending the night at an abandoned, and possibly haunted, prison facility, where they all take “Devil’s Acid”.
