Description

A double dose of psychotropic anti-time capsules from producer David F. Friedman (Blood Feast) and director Byron Mabe (She Freak)! Billed as "the first Hollywood underground film," The Acid Eaters tells the mind-expanding story of a group of working class swingers (including Pat Barrington, Orgy of the Dead) who drop acid and melt into sex, knife fights, and a literal trip to hell. Then it's time to blast-off with Space Thing, a warped homage to 1960s sci-fi and pulp fiction that follows Col. James Granilla as he hops a flying saucer and enjoys close encounters of every kind with a crew of "space dolls." AGFA and Something Weird are overjoyed to bring these campy Friedman gems to Blu-ray for the first time—"in psychedelic color" and newly restored from their original 35mm camera negatives.

    Space Thing is definitely worth the price of admission

    Acid Eaters was namely dirty hippy humor. Space Thing on the other hand turned out to be rather entertaining. Pulp science fiction with a touch of exploitation. Great stuff

    Kicks ***

    Acid eaters was incredible. Space Thing leans more out of my area, but still enjoyed that one too

    The Acid Eaters + Space Thing

    These are very rare/weird comedies. The booklet is always welcome for the extra information that it supplements.
