The undisputed champion of camp entertainment! An anti-drug propaganda film from 1936 that has become a worldwide cult hit because of its histrionics concerning marijuana use. Teenagers smoking marijuana quickly go insane, start playing "evil" jazz music, and commit acts of rape, murder and suicide. Meant to be an important and affecting cautionary tale, this dated black-and-white film's true value is in its many moments of unintended hilarity. NOTE: Because of the age of the original movie print, the quality of the video has degraded and you will notice some artifacts (i.e. scratchiness), particularly in the beginning of this movie. We still believe, however, that it is worth watching for those interested in the subject matter.

| Customer Comments | | Reviewer: anonymous on 07/11/06 |  | | Reefer Madness is a film about a drug pusher who lures kids to an apartment party to smoke reefers. A studious friend of one of the regulars winds up getting addicted to the drug and gets caught up in a wild series of marijuana assisted events. Jazz dancing, reckless driving, hit and runs, suicide, murder and sex are all shown as results of smoking reefers in the film. This is a film that is so outdated it becomes good, and it even has a decent plot; the court hearings in the later half of the movie give it a much more serious tone than the first half which is by today?s standards a comic representation of marijuana use. Surprisingly this film is quite entertaining, the 30?s view of marijuana is laughably inaccurate to the truth and the story of the school kids who get caught up with the drug is pretty interesting. This film won?t be winning an awards but it is decent with a unique historical look at how marijuana was perceived seventy years ago. |
| | Reviewer: Anonymous on 01/22/08 |  | | I always liked this movie. For me it's like getting a glimpse of an era gone by and how people felt and thought about things. Although meant to be a cautionary tale then, the material is comedic in it's ridiculous and outdated views of marijuana's effects. My how times have changed... I enjoy it late at night or in the wee hours of the morning while enjoying the dreaded weed myself. It's all the more hilarious... |
