About the event

The Burning Question AKA Reefer Madness Presented on 35mm (MA)
The Burning Question AKA Reefer Madness at Revival House Perth

Experience the ultimate "so-bad-it's-good" cult classic! This infamous 1936 propaganda film was originally intended as a serious cautionary tale about the dangers of marijuana use, but has become one of cinema's most unintentionally hilarious experiences. Follow the tragic downfall of clean-cut teenagers who become homicidal maniacs after just one puff of the "devil's lettuce."

What was meant to scare audiences away from cannabis instead became a midnight movie sensation, with its over-the-top performances, melodramatic dialogue, and completely absurd plot twists. From piano-playing frenzies to hit-and-run accidents, every scene escalates the hysteria to ridiculous new heights.

This restoration of the original black-and-white version showcases the film's earnest absurdity in all its unintended glory. The wooden acting, laughable "science," and moral panic make this essential viewing for fans of camp cinema and anyone interested in how propaganda films can become accidental comedy gold.

Perfect for group viewing - audience participation encouraged!

Presented on authentic 35mm film for the true cinematic experience!

When: Saturday, August 30th at 8:20 PM
Where: Revival House Perth
Rating: PG - Dated content and mild themes

The film that launched a thousand midnight movie screenings - a hilariously misguided morality tale that's become a beloved piece of cinema history!
