Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Laughable dud that makes one long for Joel and the Bots to verbally savage its wall-to-wall aphorisms and plodding hero. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Confessions of an Opium Eater focuses on the slave trade of young Chinese woman in turn of the century San Francisco. We follow an philosophical bantering adventurer (Vincent Price) as he descends into this underground world of trap doors, secret rooms, hidden passages, and lots and lots of opium. Its essentially an early 1930s adventure film meets drug movie and its really original and fascinating exploration into the Chinese slave trade. Vince Price is awesome, per usual, as the adventurer who spews out philosophical ramblings like no other, but its for the most part endearing and timely, although it does come off a little over bearing at times. Although, this philosophical banter does pretty much pay off at the end, which a fantastic closing sequence. The drug sequence and subsequent chase sequence in this film are pretty much perfect. The decision to film the entire chance sequence in slow motion due too our main protagonist being high on opium is beautiful to behold, and really brings the sequence to life. The sound design is very bizarre, yet perfect for this Asian themed tale. As funny as this sounds, it reminded me someone of A BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, and I couldnt help but think.. "I wonder if John Carpenter had watched this before making that". I could definitely see why this film as overlooked during its initial release, but its just so original and different that their is no doubt in my mind of why its become a cult classic. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Amazingly bizarre little 60's gem starring the almost-always amazing Vincent Price. The way he wraps himself around the weird, wordy, philosophy-laden dialogue is phenomenal.
