Last night I was searching for something older to watch.
Over the past few days (really weeks), I have been caught up in an extreme
retro mood. After some searching, I stumbled upon something interesting; the
1978 cult classic Blue Sunshine.
Plot/ A bizarre series of murders begins in Los Angeles,
where people start going bald and then become homicidal maniacs. But could the
blame rest on a particularly dangerous form of LSD called Blue Sunshine the
murderers took ten years before?
Every once in a while you stumble upon something that shocks
you with its depth and quality, even from a humble low budget beginning. That
is exactly what you have here with this 1970s drug induced shocker. More of a
thriller/psychological horror than straight up 70s exploitation, this one
featured some solid performances, a building tension, and an amazingly layered and
original storyline. In fact, the only downfall is there are a few predictable
moments mixed in and the ending leaves a bit to be desired. In the end, this
1970s cult classic has aged rather well and is an entertaining trip into that
era. If you have not seen it, give it a shot it is a fun shocker.
