Liquid Dreams

Loved the movie! Unique, intriguing, and Candace Daly is incredibly hot. Such a shame she died so young.

I was pleasantly surprised by this little ultra low budget sci-fi thriller, the 7ft. tall model of the NeuroVid Complex used in the film was actually a miniature used in "Dick Tracy" that art director Pam Moffat managed to borrow! It's much in the same vein as Videodrome. A young woman is drawn into a seedy underworld in the Neurovid center in the near future as she investigate the death of her sister.

NeuroVid produces erotically titillating videos for special purposes. She is dragged still deeper into this strange world to learn the ultimate secret of NeuroVid. In the NeuroVid world you literary move upwards on the floors when you as entertainer are promoted in the system and higher up the surprises are waiting. The acting is the weak spot of this chiller but Candice Daly is very sexy, great atmosphere and visuals. 7/10

The protagonist tracks down her sister (not brother, as in a comment elsewhere) and finds only a corpse. Following in her footsteps to find out what happened to her, the protagonist is plunged into a confusing world where she seems to be the only one who isn't sure what's what.

Actually, she's not alone. We as the audience are just as muddled, and while we can pick up a clue or two having read the short description on the jacket of the videotape, we wonder whether we would really understand if no one had given a short summary beforehand.

We shouldn't really be disappointed, as this cheap B-movie doesn't promise much and delivers just as little. There are no sex scenes to speak of, and the "mind control" is just headphones and strobe lights. If you don't like the first 15 minutes, stop. There's nothing new in the rest of the movie.

13 October 2017. With colorful film noire atmospherics, this slick, low-budget mystery thriller with Candice Daly, in the lead role, searches for her missing sister in a creepy, non-descript, techno-building. She is led into a world of soft-porn hypnotics that is seductive, alluring, but lethal and dangerous. The agoraphobic set design holds the audience helpless as help from the distant law enforcement is only intermittent and not completely reliable.

Overall, the script is sleazy, but thick with soft erotic appeal. The script does not hold back from a hidden horror-infested sadism. This movie is worth a look, if one isn't totally into X-rated titillation, but in search of a decent creepy mystery thriller.
