Before any discussion of this turgid made for TV flick there MUST be the inclusuion of the fact that the book was revealed to be a work of fiction back in the 1980s. It was written by a middle aged therarpist named Beatrice Sparks who was also involved in the satanic cult hysteria of the 1980s. So right off the bat the very origins--or what the book claims to be its origins--are a complete fraud.
This precursor to the After School Special is great for unintentional laughs if you have first imbibed in the very substances that this hysterical screed warns against. After a while though the typical lousy 1970s made for TV melodramatics become wearying. If you want a fun stoner film check out REEFER MADNESS or one of the old DRAGNET shows. Let this fraudulent bummer whither away & die like it deserves to.
