A drug reveals an alien world.
It has undertones which could make it very disturbing, however it is half-tainted by and half-infused with comedy. With a unique universe and being extremely watchable, this is definitely memorable and enjoyable.
I’ve heard it described as Evil Dead II – (1987 movie) meets Naked Lunch – (1991 movie). I think it also has a bit of the spirit of They Live – (1988 movie). If you know and liked those films, you’ll like this one.
A must-watch.

Terrible.

Formerly-partnered magicians become dangerous rivals.
Fair at best; incredibly obvious. It’s comes across as a period piece to me; I don’t find it even remotely intellectually stimulating.
