The Acid House Movie: The Acid House DVD is available from Bestprices.com A trio of stories adapted by Irvine Welsh (TRAINSPOTTING) from his collection of stories of the same name, THE ACID HOUSE is an absurd and brutal look at life through the eyes of one of the most prominent Scottish authors of the 1990s. The final section of the film is the title story, which stars Ewen Bremner as Coco, a raver who ingests a heroic amount of LSD one night, is struck by lightning, and promptly switches bodies with a newborn infant. The film begins with "The Granton Star Cause," which stars Stephen McCole as Boab, a listless loser who meets god in a bar and is promptly changed into a fly for his lack of ambition. www.bestprices.com /cgi-bin/vlink/795975100434IE   (210 words)

The Acid House price comparison at MSN Shopping And in "The Acid House," a druggie low-life (Bremner) experiences a Freaky Friday-style body switch with the infant son of a pair of self-involved yuppies. The title is a play on the term "acid house," a form of sinister dance music that emerged in Chicago in the mid-'80s and helped fuel the formative years of England's rave culture. After "The Granton Star Cause" was screened separately at the Edinburgh Film Festival, the completed film was shown at Cannes in 1998. shopping.msn.com /prices/shp/?itemId=1916162   (273 words)

The Acid House (1999) However, as taglines are often wont to mislead, The Acid House is not about heroin, and the film itself plays like a diluted version of its fast-paced predecessor. According to McGuigan, he hadn't seen Trainspotting before filming, so The Acid House shouldn't look like its predecessor — though it does. While disjointed, House's stories are filled with animal fear and rage, populated with figures ripe for psychology textbooks were they not prone to fantastic whims of the supernatural. www.reel.com /movie.asp?MID=45656&Tab=reviews&buy=open&CID=13   (595 words)

The DVD Dude - The Acid House DVD I was fortunate enough to first view The Acid House at The Central Florida Film and Video festival followed by a QandA session with director Paul McGuigan. The Acid House (1998) conists of three shorts adapted from a collection of stories of the same title by author Irvine Welsh. I haven't read Welsh's Acid House so I can't vouch for the movie's consistency to the book, but this movie was very deep and real. www.thedvddude.com /forums/showthread.php?p=1044   (310 words)

Amazon.ca: Acid House (Widescreen): DVD One departure, which I actually liked, was that unlike the Coco Bryce in Welsh's short story "The Acid House," the character is portrayed as more of a protagonist in the screen adaptation. Welsh's work is always a study in intensity, but without a breather between laps, The Acid House becomes an endurance test. Visually, The Acid House pops in all the right places, investing the slums of Edinburgh with manic color and rock & roll pizazz. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005R1UG   (933 words)

The Acid House Paul McGuigan's The Acid House is a surreal triptych adapted by Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh from his collection of short stories. Combining a vicious sense of humour with hard-talking drama, the film reaches into the hearts and minds of the chemical generation, casting a dark and unholy light into the hidden corners of the human psyche. www.britfilms.com /britishfilms/catalogue/browse?id=D5FD9B420eeaf2E8F2mRqYCEE9BC   (201 words)

Acid house - Open Encyclopedia Acid house music became a central part of the early rave scene in the U.K., and the yellow smiley became its emblem. Acid house is a variant of house music characterized by the use of simple tone generators with tempo-controlled resonant filters.

House Downloads - Download House Music - Download House MP3s At the same time, house was breaking into the pop charts; it fragmented into a number of subgenres, including hip-house, ambient house, and most significantly, acid house (a subgenre of house with the instantly recognizable squelch of Roland's TB-303 bass-line generator). His trademarked throwback acid house became a hot sound by the end of the decade, and the growing house mecca of Scotland became an early convert, with a raft of singles on Glasgow Underground. Instantly hailed by the dance music press as the work of a new breed of house innovators, the single was followed by "Da Funk," the band's first true hit (the record sold 30,000 copies worldwide and saw thorough rinsings by everyone from Kris Needs to the Chemical Brothers). www.mp3.com /House/genre/263/subgenre.html   (3114 words)

Books at Random House of Canada Trainspotting Film Tie-In by Irvine Welsh He has also written the screenplay for the film of The Acid House. Trainspotting, his first book, reached the last ten for the Booker Prize and has been made into a major film. There is not an advocate, a festival performer or a fur coat in sight as, with bitter passion and rancid humour, Welsh lays bare the lives of this ill-starred bunch of addicts, alcoholics and no-hopers. www.randomhouse.ca /catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780749336509   (100 words)

Fluke: Puppy - PopMatters Music Review Fluke emerged during the British acid house boom of the early 1990s and have been unfairly lumped in with the "electronica" scene ever since, a scene that they were never really part of. When it became very clear that electronica was not the Next Big Thing, Fluke were relegated to cult status, with a cache of loyal fans holding out for a follow-up. Nonetheless, they had success in the British charts; and, ironically, it was the American hype surrounding electronica that led to a contract with Astralwerks and their biggest seller in 1997's Risotto. www.popmatters.com /music/reviews/f/fluke-puppy.shtml   (662 words)

Down House (2000) However, 'Down house' started intensively and promising it turn out to be little wasted by the end.

Carnegie International - Programs and Lectures A member of the English rock band The Manic Street Preachers, Deller's music background led him to produce Acid Brass – a series of concerts and a recording by the Williams Fairey Band playing brass band interpretations of classic acid house dance tracks. Acid Brass brought together two distinct sounds that Deller considers "authentic forms of folk art rooted in specific communities," producing a completely new history. The evening continues with a film festival of student-produced videos, more teen bands, artmaking, video scavenger hunts, food and more. www.cmoa.org /international/prog_lect/lectures.asp   (1734 words)

Amazon.co.uk: Vanishing Point: Music Vanishing Point, while not a return to the sun-addled acid house fusion of Screamadelica was another voyage into the Scream's expansive mindscape. Taking its cues from the Richard Sarafian film of the same name 'vanishing point' deals with ambitious themes like freedom versus oppression and, of course, drugs. Vanishing Point seems propelled by demons, with the metallic funk of "If They Move, Kill 'Em" and "Stuka" providing dirty highlights--the latter threatening "If you play with fire, you're gonna get burned / some of my friends are gonna die young". www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/B000024SXR   (1177 words)

Oasis: Living Until the 1950s, when it was replaced by “safety film,” 35 mm motion-picture film was made from cellulose nitrate, a blend of nitric acid and cotton. Of all the 35 mm films produced between 1895 and 1950, as many as 70 percent were lost to fire and decomposition. Another source is the positive prints-on-paper of each frame in a film, required early on by the Library of Congress as proof of copyright. www.vvdailypress.com /living/flicks   (1409 words)

united MANCHESTER present the SPACE MONKEYS The track "Drug Soup" was included in the smash film 'Sliding Doors' and "Acid House Killed Rock'n'Roll" was used as the theme to Irvine Welch's 'Acid House'. As we start the new Millennium, amazingly The Space Monkeys are still without a new contract despite having their music feature on the soundtracks for 'Sliding Doors' and Irvine Welch's 'Acid House'! Their mix of Manc rock, acid house and beautiful ballards on 'The Daddy Of Them All' is unique and has only been surpassed by their recordings for their unreleased second album. www.unitedmanchester.com /music/SpaceMonkeys.htm   (475 words)

RUN STRANGER, RUN Johnny also makes a point of hanging out and spying on the household of Rhodha's eccentric, irascible sister, Cara (Patricia Neal), who shares her house with her son Porgie (Ron Applegate) and his trashy wife Yolanda (Gale Garnett) (who Carla snaps at constantly, spitting out such acid-bon-bons as, "Don't call me Mother, you lazy fart!"). Also living in the house is Cara's strange, child-like daughter, Celia (Tessa Dahl, the real life daughter of Neal and author Roald Dahl, and Mother of the famous English model Sophie Dahl); who seemingly takes pity on the similarly aged Johnny and hides him away in the house. The film's character's are all slightly odd-ball, lending the film a sense of unpredictability. www.hysteria-lives.co.uk /hysterialives/Hysteria/run_stranger_run.htm   (442 words)

DVD Times - Julien Donkey-Boy The film centres around fully blown schizophrenic "Julien" played by Ewen Bremner (TRAINSPOTTING, THE ACID HOUSE) and features amongst others (Korine's real-life girlfriend) Chloe Sevigny as Julien's sister, and the near-legendary director Werner Herzog as his father. However, JULIEN DONKEY-BOY is a film that does not remotely try to look good in the conventional sense so it's difficult to really grade the quality of the picture because it's so strange and purposely cheap and dirty throughout that you tend to become accustomed to its look within a few minutes. JULIEN DONKEY-BOY is a relatively unconventional film that would make most people wonder what the hell they'd wasted their money on. www.dvdtimes.co.uk /content.php?contentid=3521   (442 words)

Electronic music The development of the techno sound in Detroit and house music in Chicago in the early to late 1980s, and the later UK-based acid house movement of the late 1980s and early 1990s all fuelled the development and acceptance of electronic music into the mainstream and to introduce electronic dance music to nightclubs. The theme of the film, the effect electronic music has had on popular culture is explored in the book through a series of essays. He was also 'the film's encyclopedia' according to Lee, so in many ways this is his chance to shine. www.jahsonic.com /ElectronicMusic.html   (442 words)

The Tingler- Directed by William Castle White came up with the idea during production of yet another Castle film "House on Haunted Hill" The idea came to him after seeing one of Jack Dusick's rubber worms he made for "House on Haunted Hill" As you may noticed the Tingler does resemble a large rubber worm with legs! When filming the Tingler William Castle only had enough money to by a couple of cans of Color film. The scene when Vincent Price is injecting himself with Acid is rumoured to be the first time use of LSD on screen. www.angelfire.com /nb/djinn1928/tingler.html   (593 words)

Ewen Bremner Unfortunately, most of these films were an inadequate match for Bremner's talents: The Life of Stuff was hailed as 1997's Great British Film Disaster, while both Mojo (1997) and The Acid House (1998) earned some favorable reviews but were largely shunned by audiences. Bremner, who had originated the role in Edinburgh's Traverse Theatre production of Irvine Welsh's novel, managed to stand out in a film saturated with stand-out performances, earning particular screen immortality for a hilarious scene centering on his character's speed-fueled job interview. Scottish actor Ewen Bremner first attracted international attention with his portrayal of the perpetually unfortunate druggie Spud in Danny Boyle's cult classic Trainspotting (1996). www.tribute.ca /all_actors/bios/5419.htm   (337 words)

Eraserhead "Eraserhead" is like visiting some strange, bizarre haunted acid house. The style of this film foreshadows the eerie quality of "Elephant Man." But "Eraserhead" is 100 times as bizarre.

House on Haunted Hill (1959) Castle just doesn't stop at theatrical gimmickry - the whole film has been constructed as a sort of cinematic equivalent of a fairground haunted house show with heads popping up out of boxes, ghosts out of closets, hanging bodies and acid pools. The plot involves a group being offered $10,000 each if they can survive a night in the titular house and Castle even uses star Vincent Price as a kind of carnival barker at the start of the film, having him turn to the screen to offer the same challenge directly to the audience. The film was given a worthwhile big-budget remake - House on Haunted Hill (1999). www.moria.co.nz /horror/hauntedhill59.htm   (573 words)
