Devil's Acid

Horrible acting, even worse writing. Plot was absent before the opening credits. Sadly, the opening "Grindhouse" or "planet terror" rip off was the best thing about this movie! Everything else needed to be aborted from the sales pitch to the B-Movie production company.

Do NOT waste your time with this half-pint of a movie. SMDH, I will never get the wasted time back. I could have been popping zits or swabbing the inside of my junk for STD's....

Not made for stone cold sobber people. I watched this on a whole bunch of mushrooms. I was rolling on the floor laughing. I actually need to watch it again but this time on some of the Devils Acid lol.

The story is creative and engaging, especially the set up of a late night storytelling session. The tropes are well founded horror elements that can at times seem overdone and disingenuous. In "Devil's Acid" there are those moments here as well, but for the most part the point of view and heavy humor keeps things balanced out. People hallucinating to the level of psychosis, I mean how could you not be curious.

The acting is iffy, not so much in ability or lack of direction. Mostly the characters seem a little too cliche and overdrawn. A couple of cast members seem to have control of their parts. Still it all is relative, and somewhat debatable, given the gonzo/ grindhouse style both visually and in writing. There is enough here to also enjoy. Some of the acting and some dialog is just to funny and enjoyable to really dismiss "Devil's Acid" completely.

The horror is mostly disappointing. Everything that happens is more gimmicky and restrictive. Budget issues probably explain that, but I really wanted more messier, celebratory violence and gore. Still, "Devil's Acid" has some cool atmospheric moments, recognize situational stuff that compliments the drug induced mayhem. Plus the devil (maybe).

Overall "Devil's Acid" is gonna have a limited fanbase. Mostly ultra low-budget b-movie fans who like dark humor with a touch of horror will get it. The movie does ride wildly close to "so bad it's good" status. It does have some choice moments. Still fans looking for more horror in their humor may be disappointed.

No pun intended - this is not about the running time mind you. It may also not be directly about the main character ... but about the kids listening to the story ... well if you watched the movie you know what I mean. That aside, the movie is ... weird and has many cringe moments. For different and various reasons. Acting is ok, for the low budget effort that it is.

That said, the effects are ok too ... but there is too much nonsense and mayhem going on ... in the wrong sense. And the characters are almost all despicable ... not sure if you can like even one of them ... probably not ... maybe the "devil"? Who knows ... or the acid? Kids do not try this at home ... unless you are the kids from the movie ... no of course not even those little ... well you know what.

Whole this movie has some issues with quality, I still think it has heart and is fun to watch.

I'm not going to critique everything. I just saw it had a bad rating and wanted to say it's worth watching. There's some wtf moments and some pretty funny parts.

I thought the actor who played the main guy was good. Watch the first five minutes on Tubi and tell me you don't at least chuckle after he is yelling at the help and then jumps up from the table. He plays a very hateable character, and does it well.

I liked the way the movie is set up as a story a drunk dad is telling his kids, too. While it didn't add a lot, it didn't take away and it added some levity.

Biggest mistake these losers made was making it about money... that's how you have a bad trip.
