The Acid House
Directed by Paul McGuigan
Produced by Picture Palace North, Umbrella-Rosenblum Film Production
A darkly comic, surreal triptych that plunges into the fractured psyches of drug-addled characters with irreverent humor and existential dread.
A surreal triptych adapted by "Trainspotting" author Irvine Welsh from his acclaimed collection of short stories. Combining a vicious sense of humor with hard-talking drama, the film reaches into the hearts and minds of the chemical generation, casting a dark and unholy light into the hidden corners of the human psyche.
