Film Synopsis
Blue Sunshine (1977) follows an aimless man wrongly suspected in a string of brutal killings as bald, former college acquaintances begin erupting into violent psychosis across Los Angeles. As he hunts the root of their transformations and his own innocence, the connection to a dangerous form of LSD taken years before becomes chillingly clear. This unsettling horror mystery blends drug paranoia and low-budget dread in a cult classic nightmare of psychosis and conspiracy.
