Werner Herzog’s 2016 movie about the internet, Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World, isn’t a horror film, but watch it after ingesting 100 milligrams of pot butter the exact shade of a matcha latte and you might be convinced otherwise. Or at least that’s what happened to me.
Some experiences are enhanced by weed. Doing chores, running errands, taking walks, going to work, and spending time with one’s family all fall into this category. Going to the movies definitely falls into this category, but weed can also evoke rather… atypical responses to film. Lo and Behold was transformed from a typical Herzog production into something dark, confusing, and beyond the bounds of the typical imagination.
