The Acid House

Three short stories of Scottish depravity. All hilarious and disturbing at the same time. The Granton Star Cause features (fat) Boab, a down on his luck twenty something who loses his place on the football team, his girlfriend and his house in quick succession. What more can go wrong? Well he could be turned into a fly by God....... A Soft Touch sees Jonny being walked all over by his wife and pretty much everyone else in his life. Things take a nasty turn for the worst when the neighbour from hell moves in upstairs. Reminded me of when I lived in a block of flats and had a similar madman living above me. The third instalment, The Acid House, is probably the most laugh out loud, ridiculous and depraved. Coco is a drug taking football hooligan who during a trip is hit by lighting and swaps bodies (but not minds) with a new born baby. This film is not for everyone. If you like Irvine Welsh's novels, chances are you'll like this. If you're easily offended stay well clear. If you're not easily offended, you may well be. Hilarious, disturbing, ludicrous and a whole lot of fun. 8 out of ten....
