This short film takes us back to the hellscape of the ‘80s aerobics craze.
An accidental bad trip takes us down a rabbit hole of self-indulgence and neon spandex in this short film from Sam Fox and Candice Molayem. The Heathers-esque accidental ingestions and cult-like antics of ‘80s aerobics leader turn the neon assault of a teen girl’s bedroom into an inescapable hellscape.
BAD ACID is Fox’s latest project to receive the filmmaker’s eccentric style of psychedelic visual horror. Influenced by frequent collaborator Molayme’s clothing company, Animal Crackers Clothing, the NXIVM documentary series on HBO Max, and the copious amounts of at-home pilates videos Fox worked out with during the COVID-19 pandemic, the short film focuses on the cult-like nature of brands the promotes the capitalistic nature of wellness.
