Director/Writer: Sam Fox
Seen at the Nightmares Film Festival '22

"Sheila, is a self-obsessed aerobics fanatic who accidentally ingests some toxic hair gel while doing her usual morning workout to Aerobisexy vol. 14, transporting her into the world of Aerobics Cult Leader John Flexi."

OUR SHORT FILM REVIEW:

Sam Fox’s Bad Acid is a neon-dosed short that understands just how insane this trip is going to be from the very beginning. Its energetic 80s style workout routines make for a delightful yet outlandish experience that absorbs you into the poisonous undertaking our lead is “suffering” through. 

 

The set and production design are wonderfully unique and provide a brightly framed nostalgia piece that ultimately feels all the more odd the more you dive in. With a minimum amount of dialogue, Bad Acid makes up for it with its direction and over-the-top acting to make the watch all the more memorable. 

 

Bad Acid is a bizarre, drug-induced trip that takes a phenomenal turn into the world of the odd and unknown. Its brightly neon exterior and relentless energy makes this eerie workout one for the books; this is a must see for anyone looking for a quick escape from reality.
