Psychedelic film is a film genre characterized by the influence of psychedelia and the experiences of psychedelic drugs. Psychedelic films typically contain visual distortion and experimental narratives, often emphasizing psychedelic imagery. They might reference drugs directly, or merely present a distorted reality resembling the effects of psychedelic drugs. Their experimental narratives often purposefully try to distort the viewers' understanding of reality or normality.[1][2]

Subgenres[edit]

  • Acid Western adapts tropes of the Western genre popular in the 1960s and 1970s, augmented with psychedelic imagery or allusions.[3]
  • Psychodrama may complement dramatic elements of the film with psychedelic imagery based on psychological expansion or exploration.
  • Stoner film exploits the comic potential of recreational cannabis, often punctuated with exaggerated psychedelia.[4]
