Perhaps no 1960's hippie "exploitation" flick has more realism than 1968's AIC feature: "Psych-Out". With it's filming on location during the height of 1967's Haight Ashbury scene, this fictional account of Susan Strasberg as Jenny, a 17 year old runaway who arrives in the Haight looking for her dropped out acid-head guru brother excels as an unintentional documentary of the time. Along Jenny's way she runs into the trio of Jack Nicholson as Stoney, and 2 sidekick charactors played by Adam Roarke and Max Julien. With very explicit scenes of drug use and drug-induced, trippy "hippie revelations", as well as a scene of a bad LSD trip in progress, the film does not take either side of the establishment/anti-establishment debate of the time. The film is both an exceptional period piece of life as it really was in the Haight's heyday, as well as an excellent study of the dissillusionment of the dropped out youth of the Vietnam era. With the one exception of Jack Nicholson being poorly cast as Stoney, the remaining performances by the others in the cast are all excellent. A must see film for any 1960's countercultural buff. It would make a great DVD release.

Interesting historical artifact from the height of the hippie exploitation era. Benefits greatly from on-location shooting in the Haight-Ashbury area in late 1967/early 1968, Both silly and profound, sometines in the same scene, the film tries to take a balanced view of the scene, but eventually the studio enforced straight ending is a detriment to the film. Interesting performances from Jack Nicholson, playing an early version of his disaffected loner from Five Easy Pieces, and Bruce Dern as an out-of-control seeker. However, 30 year old Susan Strasberg is miscast as the 17 year old deaf runaway who drives the plot. She's a fine actress, but not for this role. Max Julien steals the film as the band's perennially wasted drummer.

Some good music and short performances by Strawberry Alarm Clock and The Seeds, however the music from the fictional band, supplied by some faceless/uncredited local S.F. 5th or 6th tier group, is hilariously terrible. It sounds like a high-school band that's just learned to plug in their guitars attempting to play Purple Haze.

The Olive release contains the director's cut which is about 18 minutes longer than the version that released to television. The longest restored scene involves a interesting trippy sequence at the crash house, which contains a considerable amount of female nudity.

Format: DVD
This DVD is an expurgated version of the Dick Clark produced/Richard Rush directed movie, "Psych-Out," from 1968. It begins with a bus travelling from Napa, California, carrying runaway, girl next door type, "Jenny" (Davis)--played by Susan Strasberg ("The Trip"), to Frisco's Haight-Ashbury. She appears open-eyed, ruminating on the meanness of war, both in a home life left behind, and the world, until awakened by a flower child girl passenger who titillates her with the redolent gift of a carnation. Jenny erupts with a smile as she gazes ecstatically out a window and envisions a much kinder kingdom of "flowers in your hair" folk in ubiquitous merriment. All along we hear the film's dulcet theme tune, "Pretty Song From 'Psych-Out'" by legendary Angeleno, psychedelic sextet, the Strawberry Alarm Clock (now back together!)--"I can see you, you can see me as we stand.... And your face I've never seen it/Quite like this before."

Jenny, who is sought by the police, is searching for her artistic, wayward brother, "Steve," aka "The Seeker"--played by Bruce Dern ("The Trip"--Peter Fonda's LSD guide), who was once quoted as saying, "I've played more psychotics and freaks and dopers than anyone." The rednecks of the local junkyard (where he earlier lived in a car that had a painted slogan on it saying: "God is alive and well in a sugar cube") are pursuing him, because of his make love not war spirituality, he had expounded on in the park.

The movie's main man, "Stoney," is a wannabe rock star guitarist in the band "Mumblin' Jim"--played by Jack Nicholson ("Easy Rider," "The Trip" scriptwriter). He charges around in a flower power painted bus with his bandmates, as we hear the Alarm Clock's anthem, "Incense and Peppermints.

Fabulous print. Includes a scene cut from earlier releases. How about WILD IN THE STREETS next?

Best movie ever if you love Jack, Susan, Dean, Bruce, and the 60s counterculture movement. It's something of an acquired taste maybe, but it has a lot of genuine time period charm mixed with a bit of psychedelic cheese. All in all, it's a real trip ("This Owsley's the SHIITE").

This is the best (longest and uncut) version you can currently buy! I look forward to when I can buy it on Blu-ray uncut, but right now this VHS version is more satisfying than the butchered DVD releases available now.

Director Richard Rush (The Stuntman) throws deaf 17 year old runaway Susan Strasberg into the Height Ashbury scene in search of her long lost brother played by Bruce Dern. She meets up with muscians Jack Nicholson, Adam Rourke and Max Julian who look after her and help scour San Fransisco in search of her acid-addled brother. During their search they promote their band, calm down a flipped-out friend with a circular saw, play some tunes with the Strawberry Alarm Clock, fight a bunch of hard-hat types and indulge in some downright hillarious dialogue.
While wallowing in a pile of cliches, this film (unlike many of its era) is more realistic than some and the performances are uniformly excellent. Dean Stockwell playing a groovy guru, Jack Nicholson looking hillarious with a ponytail as he belts out a version of 'Purple Haze', Max Julian conveying an all too realistic chemical state of mind and Bruce Dern as the brother who calls himself 'The Seeker' and lives in a garbage dump. The film also benfits from the cinematography by Lazlo Kovaks and would make a great double feature with Roger Corman's "The Trip".
