Description

If the B-52s collaborated with Negativland on an alt-Earth version of STAR TREK, it would feel a lot like SUROH: ALIEN HITCHHIKER—a mixed media hallucination from filmmaker Patrick McGuinn. The story follows Paul (Peter Gingerich), a skeptic who embarks on a spiritual, emotional, and sexual metamorphosis with an extraterrestrial named Suroh. Awash in LSD-tinged visuals and a pulsing acid-house soundtrack, this is a beautiful synthesis of experimental video art and queer exploration.

    Wild ride

    Amazing psychedelic release from BS. Like with a lot of their films, I think it is truly hard to say if I have ever seen a film like this. Buckle up for a super weird, super fun, wild ride.

    Perfect for SOV fans!

    This is exactly the kind of deeply strange, shot-on-video oddity that makes Bleeding Skull such a fun label to collect. The packed extras make the whole release feel like far more than just a curiosity on the shelf.

    Nice Alien Vibe

    If you like alien stuff, it’s a worthy addition to the collection. Kinda wish the runtime was longer!

    Brain ***

    This is less a movie and more an experience. Crazy long dialogue sequence, brain ***, and aliens
