Going Under

About This Movie

Going Under is quite the peculiar entry from 2005, revolving around Dr. Kent Larson and his unconventional approach to helping his patient, Derek Cruz, kick the smoking habit. The narrative takes a sharp left when Dr. Larson's tactics lead to some unexpected and rather risqué behavioral modifications. It’s a blend of dark comedy and psychological exploration that feels, at times, like a fever dream. The performances have a raw, almost improvisational quality that adds to the film's unique vibe. There's a certain boldness in its themes that makes it stand out, though it might not be everyone's cup of tea.

Going Under has had a sporadic release history, primarily existing on obscure DVD prints and some limited streaming options. Its scarcity contributes to growing collector interest, especially among those who appreciate offbeat narratives and experimental storytelling. The film's unusual premise and tone make it a conversation starter, appealing to those who enjoy exploring the less mainstream options in the early 2000s indie scene.
