I read about Toad Road in an old issue of Fangoria and was intrigued. It only took me 7 years to get around to watching it. Toad Road is, if unintentioanlly, a PSA for how gross drugs are and also an urban legend used a metaphor for the ultimate psychedelic experience. The viewer, like the characters, has to differentiate what is really happening and what is mere hallucination. The answer does not come easy if at all. I found this film enjoyable - an uncomfortable watch with dark whimsy and sadness.

It's certainly entertaining which is all it's pretty much good for. The timeline jumps around too much and there wasn't anything that had me any more convinced than I already was when I first read about the story years ago. The second they tell you the family is working with another agency on a film deal and refused to talk to Zak practically negated their entire story for me. Fun to watch regardless of the obvious bs. Not saying there isn't something to it thought.
