A bleak, disturbing and hilariously dark triptych of urban surrealism and the chemical generation in '90s Scotland. This collection of short stories combines a vicious sense of humor with hard talking drama as it plunges the viewer into increasingly bizarre situations: hapless Boab has a chance encounter with a vengeful God; soft-centered Johnny is forced to contend with a psychotic neighbor and a wayward wife; and Coco takes an acid trip that literally takes him back to the womb.
"Acid house se compone de tres historias ambientadas en Escocia. La primera de ellas, "La causa de Granton Star", es una comedia negra sobre venganza, fútbol y religión. La segunda, "Un blandengue", es una historia de amor y traición con un protagonista al que manipulan fácilmente los que le rodean. La tercera, titulada "Acid House", es un relato cómico que se aproxima a lo surreal acerca del matrimonio, los niños y el consumo desmesurado de ácido."@es

"Paul McGuigan's The Acid House combines author-screenwriter Irvine Welsh's characteristicly fierce humor with touching drama, turning three short stories into one powerful, explicit, and savagely funny film. In 'The Granton Star Clause', a young football player (Stephen McCole) meets God - and his day gets worse from there. 'A Soft Touch' stars Kevin McKidd as Johnny, a gentle young man who is pushed to the edge when his psychotic neighbor takes everything from him - including his wife. Finally, 'The Acid House' stars Ewen Bremner as Coco, a ridiculous rave boy who has a bad trip and discovers his mind has been swapped with that of a newborn baby."@en
