I finally saw it last week and it is about drugs but it's also more about how dependent people may get using these drugs and how consequences may occur. The guy lost his arm, his friend stayed in jail, his girl friend may still be hooking and his grandmother is now in  a mental institution.. I believe both guys may learn from their mistakes because they showed that they were withdrawing from the drug and if they can over come it.. then they beat the drug. However, his girl friend just came up with a bag full of coke and hugged it as if it were only lifeline, so she will continue to use it.. sad movie but a very interesting one.. I love the camera effects and mimics the anxiety and paranoia of a real life trip. i'm not sure what kind of pills the grandma took but she hallucinated big time.. scary for an old woman.

it sucked imo. "spun" is more like it. requiem seemed to be just a "drugs are bad" bs. sure some of it was real and drugs CAN be bad but that was just a one sided head trip for them young kids.

You're a joke. It's a movie about drugs destroying lives.

Drugs do that. Even caffeine.

It never puts any angle on it about that being the only possible outcome. It's about one guy and his experience. It's not a propaganda piece at all, obvious from the fact that it doesn't spew bullshit and is fairly realistic.

You know what.. true with what you say.. If someone believes drugs are truly "good" for you.. then that person must be in denial.. Drugs aren't "good," but they can open a door to a new reality/experience.. It's good to try things but it's bad to become dependent on them.. Even shrooms can leave a person psychologically dependent. I was for a while and now I'm taking it slow. i wont chase drugs anymore. I'll let it find me.

I don't think the movie is about drugs being bad specifically.  It's more about how prescription drugs have the same potential for life destruction as illegal drugs do, it doesn't matter what drug you do, its how much you do that's good or bad.

For sure. It's also a lot about dependency, as other have said.
