Review of Psych-Out

Psych-Out (1968)
5/10
What the Devil was up to in 1968.
23 December 2000
Oh, I love this movie! My 16 yr.old son watched it, in spite of himself...mostly in total disbelief. My 18 yr. old thought it was stupid, but was impressed with Dean Stockwell. But this movie is wonderful in its badness! First, Jack Nicholson with long hair, who plays guitar without moving his fingers, and who can flatten the bad guys with a single punch. And that robe he wears looks a lot like the robe in Witches of Eastwick....in fact, this is what the devil must have been up to in 1968. Bruce Dern chews up the scenery in his short screen time as The Seeker, a long-haired, Manson-eyed Jesus Freak. And Dean Stockwell...charming and handsome hippie-dude, man, who lives on a San Francisco rooftop....both my daughter and I agree that he's the best part of the film. If you want a glimpse in to the silly, hippy-dippy-trippy sixties...rent this movie...and catch reruns of Laugh-In.
