I don't really understand why this movie would be a cult classic.
Yes, the plot sounds pretty wild. A handful of people unexpectedly are going bald, become sensitive to loud noises, and get headaches. Ultimately, they get pretty wild-eyed and kill people. A man who is wrongfully blamed for some of the murders tries to investigate what happened to his friend, who was the one really responsible. It appears that all the people may have taken some bad acid ten years ago.
There is a nice amount of paranoia in the movie, since whenever someone losing their hair, or wearing a wig, or who is bald shows up, they could be dangerous. But ultimately, the problem isn't as widespread as I thought it was going to be, and the cinematography generally isn't more than just competent. The ending wraps things up, but almost seems to indicate they ran out of money.
The picture quality of the Blue Underground DVD does look pretty good, though; I think they did the best they could in restoring it to make it look as good as they could.
