About This Movie

So, if you're diving into the weird world of underground cinema, you've got to check out 'Psychic TV: First Transmission.' It's this bizarre documentary/horror mashup that has lingered in the back alleys of VHS culture for ages. The unsettling atmosphere really grabs you from the start. The pacing is erratic, almost dreamlike, which adds to its disorienting feel. What struck me is how the practical effects are super raw and unsettling—they have this gritty authenticity. And while the performances are a bit off-kilter, it's part of the charm. This film embodies that strange, transgressive spirit of the 80s underground scene, making it a notable piece of the era's mythology.

Not for the faint-hearted or mainstream viewers.A key artifact in the history of VHS trading.Reflects the chaotic aesthetic of the early 80s underground scene.
