Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …(its) credentials as an offbeat, counter-cultural B movie are impeccable; there’s fights, car-chases and a healthy dose of cynicism… a well-scripted, memorable little film that looks back to the past to portray how we got to a pre-ruined future… Rated: 3/5 Aug 29, 2023 Full Review Jas Keimig The Stranger (Seattle, WA) The plot is honestly a bit murky-but the premise is interesting enough to start making you paranoid.

James W This movie feels like it was made by a couple of conservatives who've never done psychedelics. There's no such thing as "strains of LSD" because its a chemical not a plant. Aside from that comical error and the whole idea that psychedelics make you go bald and kill people it's a very meh movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/08/22 Full Review Matthew D The movie is great; a classic example of a 70's paranoid conspiracy thriller with the added fun of science fiction and horror elements. The DVD also comes with a satiric short called The Ringer that is arguably better than the movie itself! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/28/21 Full Review Audience Member Refreshingly distinctive from beginning to end, Blue Sunshine's unsettling, minimalist score and extremely disturbing bursts of madness and violence are anchored by convincing performances within a relatively believable story. A unique gem to be sure. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review delysid d hilarious movie, LSD can make you go insane and your hair fall out. so watch out! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/10/17 Full Review Audience Member A bit of an underrated classic. It has a dedicated fan base, but it never seems to be mentioned in the company of other late 70's horror classics like "Dawn of the Dead" or "Phantasm". It's perhaps not quite as good as those films. In particular, I don't think Zalman King is quite up to the task here. In all the films I've seen him in, he registers exactly one emotion: scowly brooding. In films where he's a villain, it kind of works. Here it has a tendency to drag the film down a bit.
