Adrenochrome
A young American Veteran gets involved with a gang of Venice Beach psychos who are killing people to extract a psychedelic compound from their victim's adrenal glands.
Why it matters
A grimy dive into body horror and urban decay, Adrenochrome twists the veteran’s trauma into a visceral, blood-soaked descent through Venice Beach’s underbelly.
- Practical effects bring the adrenal extraction scenes to a gruesome, tactile life that recalls ’80s splatter classics.
- A raw, unpolished indie vibe captures the corrosive energy of street-level psychosis and paranoia.
- For fans of body horror and exploitation’s grittier side, it’s a cult curiosity with teeth.
- Not for the faint-hearted or those expecting narrative polish — this one trades coherence for atmosphere and shock.
