The Acid House

"The Acid House" is a surreal triptych film that explores the darker corners of the human psyche through the lens of Irvine Welsh's acclaimed collection of short stories. Ewen Bremner stars as Coco Bryce, a raver who takes a particularly strong acid and finds himself exchanging bodies with a newborn baby, while Kevin McKidd plays Johnny, a kind-hearted man struggling to care for his baby Chantal amidst his mistreated partner's infidelities. The film, adapted by Welsh himself, delves into themes of marriage, chemical dependency, and the excesses of the chemical generation, set against the vibrant backdrop of Edinburgh.
