Catnip: Egress to Oblivion?

Whilst posing as an educational short, warning of the dangers of the powerful narcotic catnip, this movie is currently being hawked around carnivals and sleazy drive-in theatres by it's makers in an obvious ploy to exploit and cash in on this disturbing phenomenon.

Every type of cheap come-on is employed, from bright, distorted visuals meant to replicate the so called 'trip' experienced by users, to 'hip', nausea inducing music, all designed to add to the glamour and allure that the narrative claims to warn against.

And then there are the addicts themselves. A truly rum bunch, one suspects at least one or two of them are just out of work actors, although it is hard to believe that the outré behaviour of others could ever be performed unless under the influence of some kind of substance.

It is sad to note, finally, that cat owners taking their pets to see this film in good conscience, are actually more likely to assist the pushers in their evil practises.

One of the most exploitative films I've sin, this exploits the victims as well as the viewers. The makers of this one should hang their heads in shame.

I only gave it 8/10 because I am off my head on the nip myself.
