Rosalie Kicks MovieJawn The Cocaine Fiends starts off strong, but manages to get derailed at about the halfway mark. Rated: C- Jul 23, 2024 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Its drug of choice really does present dangers to society and its unfortunate an inept film like this is just something to be laughed at or ignored. Rated: C Oct 4, 2008 Full Review Martin Scribbs Low IQ Canadian Some big laughs in this good-kids-go-real-bad-real-fast movie, but muddy visuals make LONG sections of Fiends unwatchable. Don't hold your breath for a Kino transfer. Jul 7, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member the cocaine version of 'reefer madness' Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member wow is this tax payer money at work in the 30's?? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member 5.5/10. The plot is a bit far fetched, but I still found it interesting to watch. What hurts the film the most is the wooden and amateurish acting. It is exagerrated, but it makes it's point loud and clear. Campy fun. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
