Bad Trip

About This Movie

Bad Trip (2017) is this curious blend of dark comedy and crime caper that really plays with the tension of the absurd. You’ve got these four unlikely characters—Tim, Kris, Sebastiaan, and René—who stumble into this wild week where they need to sell a crazy amount of cocaine. The pacing is erratic, mirroring their panic and confusion, which somehow makes the stakes feel both real and comically exaggerated. While the performances are definitely not your standard A-list affair, there's a certain rawness that gives the film its charm. It embraces a sense of chaos that keeps you on your toes, and the practical effects are straightforward yet effective, adding to its gritty aesthetic. There’s something refreshing in its approach to friendship and desperation, something that echoes in the laughter and sighs of those who dare to watch it.

Bad Trip has been something of an underground find among collectors, partly because of its limited release and the niche nature of its humor. The film hasn't seen a wide array of formats, which makes original copies quite sought after, especially those that highlight its raw and unpolished charm. Its scarcity and the unique blend of genuine moments interspersed with chaos definitely pique the interest of those who appreciate quirky, offbeat cinema.
