I know exactly how bad it can get. This has to do with context. I could pick any random, ineptly made horror or sci-fi film (which would constitute an innumerable amount of the films I've seen) to put in
Blue Sunshine's place. But
Blue Sunshine fits into the same category as
Split: a movie I had to suffer through because it had a tenuous association with drug use. These tend to constitute the worst movie watching experiences for me. You've partaken of illegal substances, resigned to set back and enjoy yourself, and suddenly your fellow mind expanding drug enthusiast friends just have to spring their latest film or music acquisitions upon you. You're trapped. Sure, you can run to the other room, possibly build a pillow fort, or grab the nearest cat and hide in the closet, but usually you just set back and hope that what ever it is you now have to watch is interesting or at least visually stimulating. With
Blue Sunshine, I found neither. I had heard of it, and was aware that it had a bit of a cult following, but what I got was just a boring thriller with bad acid as the culprit and some murderous ex-hippies in bald caps. That last part may sound interesting, but no, not even.
The movie's major crime and why I put it on my list? Because it brought me down, man. It brought me down.
