Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Ocrisia I'm going to start this by asking why it seems like most movie writers/directors who make movies about using drugs can't be bothered to take 5 minutes to google how people use the drug their movie is going to be about. As a recovering addict, this kind of stuff drives me crazy. Not every junkie walks around in torn up clothes, and I never once saw a heroin party, where ten or more people all use at the same time. These are addicts, and they wait for a party to all get high together? Again, maybe, but I actually went and googles it myself so I wouldn't do the same thing the writer did. Heroin is NOT a party drug. I know people share needles, but these kids obviously have enough money to buy dope without robbing people, so I would think between the ten of them they could come up with the $2.50 it costs to buy a bag of needles. Heroin addicts don't buy dope and wait until they get to a house with a group of people to do it, and they also don't do"needle graffiti" (in the dope "party" house at the beginning someone tagged a syringe on the wall). Also, there is no point in using a tourniquet unless you're shooting into a vein, which I didn't see any of them do. One of the junkies uses and then kills himself with a butcher knife he happened to have on him, and his friends all run and decide it's time to stop using. OK so besides the unrealistic portrayal of junkies, which easily could have been fixed with 5 minutes of time spent online...there is a doctor who is making a cocktail meant to make junkies kill themselves. The 1st time we see this guy he's talking to a colleague, who tells him that one of the test animals bit off it's own arms and legs, to which is the result they want, but another test animal has killed all the others. (In response to this the doctor tells his colleague to try a mix of 25mg thorazine with diluted methadone. So the cocktail he's using to make junkies kill themselves is what they use in rehabs? Really?) The doctor then gets a call from a shady senator complete with dancing naked chick, complaining that the cocktail is turning junkies into killers, rather than what it's supposed to do, just make them kill themselves (bc they need to win the drug war) so he tells the doc to fix it, & make sure no one can trace it back to the senator. So now the doctor goes on a mission killing all the people he gave the dope to; the dealers, and whoever they sold it to. Because apparently leaving a wake of bloody bodies isn't conspicuous at all. At this point I have to wonder why they would make a drug that makes junkies suicidal in the first place. Just make some dope that kills them! This has been done before, it's not that hard to kill a junkie, just sell him some bad stuff. No need to spend all sorts of $ to come up w a drug to make them suicidal. I'm pretty sure that would be more likely to be investigated than someone just selling a bad batch of dope, because it's pretty obvious it's not an accident.I guess because the whole premise so far wasn't unrealistic enough, the doctor gets a call and shows up at a crime scene. He walks up to a cop, and flashes the cop a card, saying he runs a drug prevention lab. Apparently that will get you clearance into a crime scene, and the doctor tells the cop not to let anyone else in until he's finished in there, bc he needs to rid the place of the bad dope...for whatever reason the cop seems okay with this, and he gets away with it.So these stupid kids lock themselves into a house to get clean, but they have to have one more night of getting messed up. (Btw also these kids are doing dope like it's coke. People don't "need a hit" of heroin every 20 minutes.) They have some of the bad batch, and when one of the guys starts biting a windowsill (in the process breaking his teeth into fangs) and then he attacks one of his friends, and one of the girls says "we've all had bad trips before." No. Just...no. It's not acid. You can think you're going to OD but you don't have a bad trip" no heroin where you bite windowsills and attack people, it just doesn't happen. It's pretty simple to guess where the movie goes from here. Since this drug both makes junkies kill themselves or kill everyone else, one of the chicks actually kills herself with a metal spoon. Chaos ensues, a bunch of kids running around trying to get out of the house they locked themselves in before they're all killed either by the murderous junkie or the crazy doctor.This is NOT a good movie. All the mistakes and unrealistic crap would be forgivable if the movie was at least scary. But the characters aren't likable, even the death scenes, for those of you who watch horror movies for them, aren't very good. The first half interested me because I wanted to see how stupid one movie could actually be, by 35 minutes in I kept drifting off and had to keep backtracking. If you want to be entertained, you should probably look elsewhere. I've seen worse, but that's not saying much. It's not even bad in a way that you could enjoy laughing at it. It's not worth your time.

richyp First of all, I have no idea about what previous reviewer Flow was talking about, probably he has watched another movie or made some mistake, because the words how he describes this movie are totally wrong. Exactly, go on and watch this. I enjoy horror movies and this was no exception. Well, yeah, it's a story of a few people doing drugs and some of them having a bad trip because of some new drug being tested on streets and lab animals to gain control of all drug-addicts, money thing mainly. At least thats how it should be lol. Uhm, yeah, this tripping turned out in bloody mass murders. Most of the stuff is going on in the dark but you can clearly understand whats going on so it's not a big deal. Actors are okay, no pros obviously, but they aren't bad either. All gore scenes were great, lots of blood and very realistic injuries, cuts, etc. Quite a few times something will pop out from darkness, so be prepared for that too. Overall, this movie is definitely worth my and your time.

Flow Maybe when you read this comment things will change a little, but now, as i am writing it down, this movie has a grade of 6.9!! Truly amazing! I only watched it because no one commented on it yet, i am a HUGE horror fan, so i try to help whenever i can. Especially when i see movies that are praised like never before, by people that were involved in the making of them, most likely. OK, so about Psychotica": bad, really really bad. Can't begin to describe it, truly awful! NOT worth at all! If you are too bored, if you are in a bad mood, if you are with some friends, or maybe with your girlfriend and you want to see a horror, look somewhere else! Please do so, do not question me, do not think "hey, one bad comment but such a big grade, it must be good, it's just one guy"! Do not go there, stay away from it!The only movie that i saw and was worse than this is, Porkchop! Hope i was of some use, but, if you do watch it, please post a comment, let the others know i was right. Save a soul or two! Thanks.

J. Davis Don't expect anything special in this, no surprises and a thin plot. A group of heroine addicts decide to lock themselves in an old farm house to all quit cold turkey but first they bring a big stash of dope for one last hoorah, before quitting. I have experience in these things & their idea was a bust before they even left, you know the old I'll quit tomorrow thing (100% failure rate). But to add an element of anguish, the drugs they pick up weren't exactly perfect, they have been chosen randomly by a scientist to act as a test group for his new drug, what better a test group than heroine addicts that shoot up anything with no regard to what else may be mixed in. I've been clean for 7 years and it got me thinking how little one thinks of their health when using, I guess I was lucky in a way. Now back to the film, the scientist's experiment with animals had a very undesirable effect so he tries to saves his ass by collecting the drugs from the dealers he gave them to with bad results, the acting wasn't anything special, the characters were completely underdeveloped & I had no empathy for any of them, A minute didn't go by where I wasn't reminded of how low budget the production was. It was painful at times towards the end as I waited for the credits to roll. I wouldn't recommend this to any hardcore horror-thriller fans, but if you like watching grungy addicts in a disgusting backdrop it may be for you.It's your basic 3 star horror flick. Watch but be warned.
