Hallucination Generation
Hallucination Generation is a 1967 drama film by Edward Mann. Purportedly intended as a warning against the dangers of pill-popping 1960s hedonism
along the lines of 1936's Reefer Madness, the film's primary purpose appears to have been titillation, thus landing it in the genre of exploitation cinema. It is often cited as an example of counterculture cinema.
The main setting is Francoist Spain, where a group of American expatriate beatniks are initially living carefree lives on Ibiza. Their supposed advisor and actual leader uses drugs to lure the group's members into lives of crime. A new recruit takes part in an LSD-induced crime spree which ends in the murder of an antiques dealer. The recruit subsequently seeks refuge in a monastery.
