(1976) Blue Sunshine
HORROR
Written and directed by Jeff Lieberman coming up with a confusing beginning, but that can be the result of the film's budget. With Jerry (Zalmon King) having a little party with some friends, until one of them runs amok by going on a killing spree, leaving a few dead. And then for some odd reason, the murders are somehow end up being pinned on Jerry instead of the crazed perpetrator, who was eventually killed by getting hit by an ongoing car. Jerry then ends up going on the run, sought after by a detective by the name of Clay (Charles Siebert). In order for Jerry to clear his name, he seeks the assistance of his girlfriend, Alicia (Deborah Winters). And with Jerry playing detective himself, it turns out that a dangerous LSD/ acid drug called "Blue Sunshine" used to be manufactured by a former student, from some university campus (to be precise, Stanford) and that they were sold to some students that went there. And that this student who used to be selling, to help him finance his political career who happens to be running for congress, by the name of Ed Flemming (Mark Goddard). And the ending doesn't explain very much either as the movie is suggesting that it's based on an actual experimental drug, with one of the main side effects is hair loss. Anyone who's familiar with actor Zalmon King's recent work, will know that this film is a far cry from what he's usually associated with, as a director and creator of "The Red Shoe Diaries" starring David Duchovny, as well as other movies that consist to have adult eroticism. But again, if viewers are willing to put their brains on stun, ignoring total logic such as 'no autopsy performed on the bodies' then this film might work for you, but others such as myself demand better.
