The Acid Sorcerer (2017)

"The Acid Sorcerer" is a slice-of-junkie-life, quasi-'art' film that struck me as a Nick Zedd-styled piece, perhaps for the suburban black metal crowd.

We follow a handful of different lowlifes - most of whom end up crossing paths - like a heroine addicted serial killer who is under the command of a shadowy demon. There's also a meth-hooked pregnant chick who's whored out for drug money by her scumbag boyfriend, their dealer who buys home-made snuff films off of a coke-head drag queen and an HIV positive whore who is the snuff producer's next "star". The drama escalates for the couple when he discovers his ol' lady is whoring HERSELF out and enjoying it.

The film is inter cut with "evil" title cards and satanic captions, as well as psychedelic 'trips' of several characters. The acting isn't very good and there really isn't much of a focal point, though I can't say "The Acid Sorcerer" is a bad "edge lord" indie effort. The scummy, degenerate cast of characters are entertaining enough and don't outstay their welcome as the movie clocks in at under an hour. I also thought it was funny how they're constantly coming across dead animals that they have to angrily kick or stomp. I didn't mind this flick for what it was.
