    More About "BAD ACID":
    BAD ACID is a wild exploration of the realm where ego, fitness and vanity collide.
    This short film follows Sheila (Kate Hollowell), a self-obsessed aerobics fanatic who accidentally ingests some toxic hair gel while doing her usual morning workout to Aerobisexy vol. 14, transporting her into the world of Aerobics Cult Leader John Flexi (Bonavega). Will Sheila fall victim to chaos and be permanently indoctrinated into FLEXIVM, or did she just take some Bad Acid?
    BAD ACID is the latest collaboration between director/producer Sam Fox and fashion/set designer Candice Molayem. The film is inspired by the upcoming collection from Animal Crackers Clothing, also named BAD ACID, and features wardrobe styling from the brand. Original high-energy disco track “FLEXIVM” by DJ Harvey scores the film. BAD ACID is a visual, psychedelic treat that will take you on an unforgettable trip.

And yeah, it's definitely a deliriant, not a psychedelic getting shown in the video.

    I'm gonna assume the joke is that TaB already had the gross chemical taste from NutraSweet, so she didn't notice the taste of the stuff that was spilling into it. Although some people preferred the taste of TaB to Diet Coke. Then there's the tab of acid double entendre to go with the title. Or I'm over-thinking it.

    I think there is a 80s vibe in this film and there is a mastery of some sort of something that you don’t get other films. So there is an added value to the dancing in the music. and so that’s why I congratulate you for this work of art.

    The thing about acid is, you can't know if it will be bad or good. Just don't drink it when you feel bad, it could trigger something and turn into a horror experience.
    I don't like it's trip down my throat either.
    Oh and, if you mix with other acids, it could be bad too.

    Another “don’t drink the diet culture koolaid” movie I’m guessing? Unless I’m wrong?

    Not really a horror film, unless you count the scary outfits girls wore back then. Wonder how many of your viewers had ever seen a VCR before this.

    I have to agree with some, this wasn’t horror nor was it enjoyable or comprehensible. It really made no sense.
    I’m not being mean or rude, but there’s nothing in this short film that makes me want to know more. Is there something hidden?
