The Cocaine Fiends starts off strong, but manages to get derailed at about the halfway mark. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews 10/04/2008

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. Go to Full Review Martin Scribbs Low IQ Canadian 07/07/2004
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

07/16/2016 the cocaine version of 'reefer madness' See more 10/09/2010 wow is this tax payer money at work in the 30's?? See more 01/17/2007 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. See more Read all reviews
