Psychedelic visual effects in movies?

Sometimes I want to explain to someone who hasn't tried psychedelics what sort of visual effects he'd get with mushrooms. Do you think any movie depicts hallucinations accurately? Of course the most important effects are not visual, and perhaps the visual effects couldn't be properly appreciated unless you're in a psychedelic state, but I believe my question still makes sense... sort of In any case, I'll appreciate your opinion.
For example, in Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, the scene where they are trying to check in and Hunter is on acid... I think the carpet patterns flowing like liquid is quite accurate (while people turning into reptiles is not).

i would have to say the two movies that depict visuals pretty accurately are "the thief and the cobbler" by disney and "yellow submarine" none actually try to show psychedelic effects, inferred or otherwise, but the various animation styles capture the essense of hallucinations quite beautifully, i think.

Altered States. The Holy Mountain. The Grateful Dead Movie. Alice in Wonderland. Naked Lunch. There are so many. Get some David Lynch if you want to "feel" like a psychedelic experience.
I agree, animation was born from hallucinations. Although that might not be true, just look at the way cartoon characters move. Everything is an exaggeration, if they were not tripping when they came up with early cartoons, they definitely had before.

Apocalypse Now-
the scenes where there are red and green lights slowing revelaing more and more of a scene then fading to black reminds me (due to its accuracy) of more than one acid trip I have had with the lighting and colors changing and what not.

I was going to say the carpet scene in F&LiLV, but you already know about that. Waking Life has some parts that are very similar to tripping visuals (there's this one part I'm thinking of where these 2 guys are talking about a holy moment, look at the one guy's hair). The movie was filmed, then animated over.

Anybody ever seen the movie The Holy Mountain?
It is without a doubt the most trippy movie I have ever seen before. Jesus is a main character and the trip scenes are outta this world. The whole movie is like one big trip, no movie has ever done a better job in portraying what it is like to trip, IMHO. The director even went a week without sleep prior to filming the movie in Mexico.

Oh, I started downloading that movie last night!
I saw other movies by the same director (Alejandro Jodorowsky): El Topo and Santa Sangre. Jodorowsky's work is absolutely amazing, trully from the Other Side.
Last week I saw a session of psicomagia (some sort of healing ritual he performs), downloaded from eMule (search for "Jodorowsky"). He recommended one of the persons in the audience to eat magic mushrooms mixed with honey.

You can also show him the videoclip of the song Black Hole Sun by the band Soundgarden. It is EXACTLY how things looked during my first Shroom trip.

I was gonna say the carpet in FnL, that was pretty good. Also, good point about David Lynch films, they do make you feel like your tripping. Their just too damn weird. There was an episode of Kath n Kim (the American version) where they accidentally drink some hallucinogen in a limo and everyone's faces start morphing ala Black Hole Sun. Think you can watch it on NBC.com. Also. there's a trip scene in SLC Punk that kind of demonstrates how the mind acts, if not visually.

In Waking Life, the way everything floats and move slightly and seems to have it's own gravity-independent existence reminds me a lot of shrooms, obviously there are a lot of differences though.

The only "psychedelic" movies I've seen are Fear and Loathing and Yellow Submarine, but all the TV shows that I've seen where people are on acid do a terrible job of portraying how people act, let alone what they perceive. Fear and Loathing was easy to identify with and Yellow Submarine was a very out-there experience while not explicitly related to tripping. The scene in Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny where Jack Black eats some random mushrooms was pretty much nothing like a shroom trip, although it was funny.

i don't really like the song but there are some parts that do a pretty good job of showing psychedelic hallucinations in the video for Meds by placebo

I'm oftentimes accepting of poor visual effects representing psychedelics in movies. It's impossible to recreate the experience anyway...why worry about such minute differences, relatively.

A Scanner Darkly is pretty weird looking
I really love the matrix when tripping, that movie is all about tripping balls if you ask me. The special effects are still great even though they have been copied by other movies so many times.

Blueberry has an intense DMT trip scene that is very realistic
Shrooms might not give your friends the right idea though since it mostly portrays bad trips, The Tripper is the same way but with LSD

Taking Woodstock has a five minute acid trip scene that was very accurate. It reminded me of the carpet from Fear and Loathing except it continued for longer.
Who ever made that scene received input from someone who had taken psychedelics (or they had taken them themselves). I loved that scene, it was very pretty. Bu the whole movie was just ok.

The movie was mediocre. The acid scene was very accurate. I was disappointed when I didnt see rainbow trails though.
Shrooms doesnt come close to accurately depicting psychedelic visuals. How high are you dosing?

Fear and Loathing its fun to watch ,but i dont find it very accurate( the scene whee everybody becomes dinosaurs..please,) There are several movies where the hallucinations are exagerated, but I thinks its because it´s the only way they have to "repoduce" the real deal( that we all know its beyond "seing thinks")
Its impossible to "reproduce" a trip in a 2d screen with stereo , it s waaaay beyond, but how do you put in a screen that you are "listeing" a tree for example. You have to give him voice and and probably a mouth.
For example once I got in to a bar , I was on shrooms, and in a table was this huge lady laughing so loud, she was very fat, and inmediately I get a mental image of her being a pig eating and laughing, but I didnt actually see a pig, just think of her as a pig. I think that was what happend in Fear and Loating dino scene.

I tried to watch that movie with my mom and her idiot boyfriend. Couldn't even pay attention to the movie cuz of him narrating it. Any ways got to part where the people were turning into reptiles and he was like "Ive had times on acid just like that"! OMG thats why I never do acid again! It gets so scary. At that point I wanted to tell him the reason he can't trip is because hes already fucked up in the head and hes a paranoid delusional freak even when hes sober, to bad he doesn't know because he can't stop drinking 12+ beers a day. I didn't say anything though, I just left because it seemed like a funny movie that I did not want to miss and I was .

Enter The Void. It's a movie about a guy who dies, then the remaining 2 hours portray his disembodied spirit exploring his life and related events preceding and following his death. He does DMT early on, and the visual sequence is actually pretty cool.
I watched the movie while shrooming once. God what a horrible experience.
Here is the vid. Watch it at 1080p:

Well, that's not the way you vaporize freebase DMT - and it doesn't burn on its own after you light it...and nobody needs to take that many hits. Plus, who uses their fingers with freebase to put a pinch in a bowl???
A mere one or two hits should produce far more effects than depicted in the scene, whose imagery is far too slow in morphing speed and variety.
If anything, that could be representative of (weak) changa (DMT infused leaf) use.

It looks like some visuals I've had off of 4-AcO-DMT. That sort of organic luminosity. Though I agree, it's lacking a lot..Details, fractals, glyphs, entities..Does look cool though.

i think in fear & loathing the scene w/ the adrenochrome pretty accurately represents the dive into a bad trip from paranoia/surroundings/etc, with respect to hallucinating in general
haven't had lsd but in fear & loathing when they arrive at the hotel and the valet guy's smile gets all warped- that's exactly how normal faces looked on tv during the onset of a cactus trip

i think scene near end of fear and loathing when hunter s thompson is typing his story, giving his thoughts on the world and the camera slowly lifts up and spins looking down on him captures the melon collie feeling you get near the end of a trip perfectly.

the episode of star trek:voyager when chakotay is having to communicate with aliens through a trip. there is a scene when he is looking at the alien and the space around the alien is folding on itself. reminds me of acid there are a few other visuals they depict kinda well in star trek, then some they completely screw up imo
check it on netflix

kennedy said: i don't really like the song but there are some parts that do a pretty good job of showing psychedelic hallucinations in the video for Meds by placebo
I agree with this.
This video captures effects pretty well:

Harvard Man (2001) did a good job, presumably because the director was experienced with LSD:
-- I was 19 years old when I decided to take what in effect perhaps is the largest dose of LSD ever taken to this day [sic], a hundred thousand micrograms. And had one day of ecstasy and rapture; seven days of spiritual catastrophic nightmarish agony. -- James Toback - The Stoned Ages (documentary)

Holy shit! It's stuff like this that makes people scared shitless of acid. The visuals are spot on, but the urge to jump off a building is not it at all. If you're to the point that you need to jump off a building, you probably can't walk and are curled up in the fetal position somewhere.

I've never seen a movie that got it... It's hard to even put into words, let alone into visual perspective.

Fantastic Planet - a classic French psychedelic film from the '70s.
This scene shows the pet human running into its master during meditation. The visuals are definitely inspired from psychedelic experiences, the mannerisms of the changing are so accurate.

Branded is the best movie i ever watched tripping, and a great movie regardless. The last half of the movie has crazy visual effects, but the whole movie is beautiful each screen is perfect and visually fun to watch. The movie flows moment to moment flawlessly with a lot of scene changes that we appeal to people tripping
