The members of a modern dance company party down after a rehearsal, not knowing that somebody has spiked the sangria with LSD. This is more like a situation than a story, like "Suspiria" if you just cut to the part where everybody goes to hell. It isn't nearly as much fun to look at, though, and the fusion of bad acid and characters you don't like to begin with does not lead to a real good time. If these folks all want to trip out and kill each other, it's okay with me. It just seems kind of unfair to ask the rest of us to watch.
