Full Plot Details

Renowned stage actress Adriana Roman, the muse of playwright Frederick Lansdale, is retiring to marry tycoon, Charles Winthrop. The marriage does not sit well with Charles' daughter, Lisa Winthrop, who dislikes her new stepmother if only because she is the other woman for her father's affections. However, on her father's urging, Lisa tries to get to know Adriana, to who she slowly warms. Meanwhile, Lisa attracts the attention of Johnny Allen, a womanizing, fortune hunting medical student who uses the school lab to produce and sell acid among the hip, mod crowd he hangs around. He romances naive Lisa who falls under his spell. After an incident with Charles, Johnny, sensing an opportunity to abscond with at least some of the Winthrop fortune by using Lisa's mistrust of Adriana, manipulates Lisa into trying to make Adriana go crazy, in large part through the lacing of her sedatives with acid. Adriana begins to hallucinate that Lisa and Johnny are trying to kill her, which is what they want her to believe through the hallucinations. In reality, Johnny is trying to kill her, of which Lisa is unaware. As Adriana tries to explain what she is going through to among others Frederick, he, who has always loved her himself, eventually believes that all is not that it appears on the surface. With new information at hand, Frederick, using the tools of his trade, tries to help Adriana through her troubled mental state.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzTrashy idiotic hippie psychedelic thriller.
User Review - 8/10 by Jonathan TIf you're looking for camp, you need to rent this movie immediately. It's like Reefer Madness for LSD. You won't believe this movie. For real.
User Review - 6/10 by Tim OThings I learned from watching this movie: - If you take LSD, you will put an ant in your pocket and go crazy. - If you take LSD, you may paint a spiral on your face. - Taking LSD may also lead to: strange accents, wearing lime green pantsuits, and inexplicable stripping. - No wedding is complete without an orgy, loads of booze spiked with LSD, and a few motorcycles in the pool. - Trying to convince your wife to trade partners on your wedding night is likely to result in a fast divorce. All in all, it was gloriously trippy and absolutely hilarious.
User Review - 6/10 by Bill BA fairly melodramatic exploration of 60's culture that sees a step-daughter falling under the spell of her opportunistic hippie lover. Together they plot to dose her stepmother with LSD and drive her mad, clearing the way to the daughter's inheritance. Pretty heavy handed at times, it's got some amusing & fun LSD inspired trippiness to look forward to, give this one a rental if you have the chance.
User Review - 6/10 by Christopher SWhacked-out B-movie is an odd mash-up of old-fashioned melodrama and 60s psychedelia, made into a camp classic by its limited understanding of both. A past-her-prime Lana Turner stars with a cast of young hams in this cheesy, over the top spectacle. Though it does go on a bit too long, it's solid entertainment for cult movie fans.
User Review - 6/10 by Peter HFun trash, the '60s acid version of "Reefer Madness."
User Review - 6/10 by Jeff SWonderful kinda awful. Groovy GASLIGHT. Moral: Never quit the theatre...especially if you're a movie star!
User Review - 4/10 by Russell GLSD will fuck you up, and turn your hot red headed girl friend into an exhibitionist slut. That's the moral of this one, maybe. Wow. That's about all I can say. Don't do LSD.
User Review - 4/10 by jay nBad movie lovers rejoice. Craptastic mess from that unfortunate time period when the studios were trying to connect with a youth audience that just wasn't there. Poor Lana and her terrible two tone hair are stuck in this tripe with nowhere to hide. Her costarring with Dan O'Herlihy reminds the viewer that they were in Imitation of Life together and makes you wonder why you're not watching that instead! The rest of the acting is of the seriously wooden variety and the direction inept.
User Review - 4/10 by Scott R"The Big Cube" is a hoot. Yes, a hoot. I don't often describe something as a hoot, but this film is definitely flush with hootiness. The title refers to the popular mode of taking LSD, but "The Big Cube" is really an old-fashioned soap opera at heart. Lana Turner (older, but still beautiful) stars as a famous stage actress who's retiring to enjoy the good life with a new husband. Tensions build between Turner and the husband's daughter Lisa (newcomer Karis Mossberg, who apparently never acted again after this film). Mossberg's resemblance to the young Turner is mentioned in the plot, and this is probably the only reason she was cast, considering she has a heavy European accent which everyone else conveniently pretends doesn't exist. Lisa becomes smitten with a handsome medical student (named Johnny, inevitably), but what she doesn't know is that he only wants her for her wealth and that he has been bounced out of school for dealing LSD. Then Lisa's father dies in a boating accident, and Turner inherits control of his fortune -- and Lisa's trust fund. That's when Johnny cooks up a plan to secretly dose the stepmother with LSD, so she will be ruled mentally incompetent. And the fun begins. The acid trips are illustrated reasonably well with the usual kaleidoscopic lights and hallucinatory flashes, and Turner doesn't embarrass herself too badly (sorry, no horrible lines worth enshrining). But the contrast between the wanton scenes among Johnny's hippie friends and the sequences in Turner's glamorous world -- persistently shot with wrinkle-hiding soft focus -- is a laugh. The one ingredient the film lacks is an appearance from a legitimate psychedelic band for historical interest. Tsk tsk. It does bless us with a bit of topless nudity, though. Don't worry, it's not Turner.
