Obliteration is one of those obscure gems from the mid-'80s that really embodies that raw, experimental vibe of the era. The plot, centered around a college student and a professor's twisted exploration of hallucinogenic drugs, is just the beginning. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and the pacing has this odd ebb and flow that keeps you guessing. The practical effects are delightfully crude but manage to evoke a genuine sense of dread. The performances, especially from the professor, have this almost campy intensity that adds to the film's distinctive weirdness. It’s a bizarre mix of horror and sci-fi that doesn’t quite follow the typical formula. You come out feeling something, even if you’re not entirely sure what you just watched.
