Reefer Madness (Tell Your Children) (1936)

A film review by Christopher Null - Copyright © 2001 Filmcritic.com

One of the best examples of bad cinema, Reefer Madness is the 1930s cautionary tale regarding the evils of "marihuana," a drug so bad that one hapless smoker is sentenced to life in a mental hospital for what it's done to him! Campy and just plain awful, Ed Wood would have been proud of this masterwork of bad bad bad moviemaking.
