The late '90s should be cinematically remembered as the years of the new wave drug movie. In the late '80s and the early '90s, the drug movie was nothing more than a simple comic device… there was no meaning behind the cloud of pot smoke produced...read the complete Acid House, The (1998) review at filmcritic.com (James Brundage)

For all that many like to disparage media for bad adaptations of literary
works and call film and tv less sophisticated than the written word, there
are some authors that are in the embarrassing position of owing their...read the complete Acid House, The (1998) review at SF, Horror and Fantasy Film Review

Acid House, per la regia di Paul McGuigan, ma con la supervisione ampiamente pubblicizzata di Irvine Welsh, sceneggiatore dei tre racconti, รจ un trittico, (se era un film italiano sarebbe stato semplicemente un film a episodi), che racconta tre storie...read the complete Acid House, The (1998) review at Tempi Moderni

This movie is excellent. I suggest you read the book before you see the movie though, otherwise you'll really not know what the hell is going on because its very difficult to understand what thoes goddamn people are trying to say even though it has ...

A collection of three films strung together with wildly different results.
The first film (The Granton Star Cause 8/10) is a pleasant surprise and high comedy. It is a take on Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis mixed with God, elderly S and M, and a football ...

Well, ladies and gents. If you are a fan of Scottish cinema or Irvine Welsh or just strange indie flicks you should take a flight on the Acid House airlines. 3 sorted stories to make your skin crawl. The Acid House delivers yet another one of Welsh's ...

The film expressed this atrocious resonance through-out the film. From the first story through the thrid one. It certainly showed lunacy with acid trips and switching of bodies and mind. Some satiric behaviors were inflicted upon two characters. One had ...

if you love irvine welsh, this is a MUST!! trainspotting left a <few> details out to be desired, but the acid house follows every element of the short stories. the scottish accent gets a bit thick at times, but you get use to it eventually. ...

I heard about this movie a few years ago from a friend. What mainly interested me was that it was based on a novel by Irvine Welsh who also wrote Trainspotting. I loved the movie Trainspotting and so i decided to watch this, hoping it would be similar. ...

As I review more and more films they are slowly becoming more and more difficult to review. Why? There are just some films out there that are this solid mix of great and average that it is difficult to give a definitive answer. Did I like it or didn't ...

I hadn't read the Irvine Welsh book from which this movie is based. A friend of mine though said that he thought 'The Granton Star Cause' was one of the best short stories he ever read and of the 3 stories within this film it certainly works the best. I ...
