New 2K Restoration
Becoming an ironic cult hit in the '70s, this 1936 camp classic hysterically warns the public of the horrors of marijuana and is an early example of the exploitation genre.
One of the greatest cult films of all time, Reefer Madness theatrically dramatizes the sensational dangers of the most frightful assassin of our youth, Public Enemy No. 1: marijuana! Originally produced as Tell Your Children, the film serves as a riotous cautionary tale when one decides to tangle with the Demon Weed. Moral corruption, emotional disturbances, unstoppable laughter, murder, even insanity—these are just some of the dire consequences of a group of high school friends lured into the dark world of cannabis! [66 min; drama; English]
"Deserves its reputation as one of the most entertainingly bad movies ever made." — Keith Phipps, The A.V. Club
"One of the most absurdly earnest exercises in paranoia you'll ever have the good fortune to see." — John Du Cane, Time Out
