Hallucination Generation Blu-ray Movie
Vidcrest Limited Slipcovered Edition | Hallucination
Diabolik DVD | 1966 | 96 min | Not rated | Dec 13, 2022 | Jeffrey Kauffman
A drama set in Spain where a small group of American young adults is living. The leader of the group is a drug dealer. The others are there living carefree lives as beatniks. The leader has more nefarious aims in mind, and uses drugs to lure the others into lives of crime. Most of the film is in black and white, but there is a psychedelic sequence depicting the purported effects of the group using LSD which was filmed in color. Purportedly intended as a warning against the dangers of pill-popping Sixties hedonism along the lines of 1936's Reefer Madness, the film's primary purpose appears to have been titillation, thus landing it in the genre of exploitation cinema.
