This film begins rather inventively as several different people are shown going about their jobs as time ticks off on the clock, and then it's quitting time and this bunch of people all converge on this building that seems to be some kind of garage, for they all come out dressed differently and on motorcycles and then out into the country side for a weekend of acid tripping and body painting and whatever else may come along. Their quest is seemingly a pyramid of acid (sugar cubes I guess) and it looks not much like a pyramid or cubes, but they go inside and it's like...a psychedelic warehouse or something, complete with a devil and lots of uh, trippy things. The devil wields cubes of LSD and the people approach him one by one to partake (it's obviously chunks of Styrofoam, and you can especially tell when one person takes a bite, because you can HEAR it). Earlier on too, one young lady sinks in quicksand, but she's back later, huh. There's other goofy things like Native Americans appearing here & there, portrayed in less-than politically correct form, plus plenty of other silliness throughout. This is kind of a fun film in a stupid way, nothing too heavy here, maaan. Can't say this is 60's exploitation films at their best though. 6 out of 10.
