Mind Blowers

About This Movie

Mind Blowers is this odd little gem from 1970 that sits firmly in the realm of corny softcore cinema. It’s got a bizarre mix of hypnotism and sexual escapades, where a shrink named Norman Fields becomes a sort of puppet master to his female patients. The performances, while not exactly award-winning, carry a certain charm that fits the film’s offbeat vibe. The pacing, well, it lingers in moments that really just serve to build a mood rather than advance the plot. And the practical effects? Let’s just say they're as low-budget as you'd expect, but they suit the tone. Overall, it’s just a fun slice of the era’s exploration of sexuality, wrapped in a hypnotic premise that feels a little like a fever dream.

Mind Blowers has a bit of a cult following among collectors for its sheer oddity and the kind of nostalgia it evokes. It’s one of those titles that's not widely available, making original prints a bit scarce and sought after. It’s worth noting that various VHS releases exist, but the more obscure formats like 16mm prints are where the real interest lies for dedicated collectors. The film's blend of camp and earnestness really encapsulates a moment in time that many appreciate.
