GHETTO FREAKS, originally entitled LOVE COMMUNE, is a psychedelic trip into the hippie underworld of Cleveland, complete with evil drug dealers, communes, and nude dancing. Sonny is a character created to illustrate the corrupt nature of the hippie lifestyle in all its glory. After watching a mother`s attempt to save her daughter from her own inchoate hippiedom, he whisks the girl away for an LSD trip and group sex on the floor of the House of Hippies. The couple then go panhandling and protesting before meeting up with some drug dealers who remind them that reality is not something in which they`re interested in participating. This rare, grungy doper trip was shown in a marathon night of Quentin Tarantino`s favorite exploitation flicks. WAY OUT: This drama about young Puerto Rican heroin addicts living in the Bronx features actual former junkies as actors, and depicts a startlingly realistic picture of street life. Frankie and Jim will do anything for a fix, including stealing a pram and leaving the baby on the sidewalk; their nights of getting high are seemingly endless until Frankie gets nabbed and put in jail, forced to go cold turkey. Jim continues his life of crime, associating with some very sleazy characters, and the outcome looks bad before a very surprising ending, which confirms this film`s tagline: this is a crazy way out world which squares just won`t believe. Director Irvin S. Yeaworth, Jr. also directed the 1950s cult film THE BLOB before moving on to promotionals for Billy Graham.
