Nice guy Johnny (Kevin McKidd) marries pregnant near-stranger Catriona (Michelle Gomez), who starts a tawdry affair with their upstairs neighbor (Gary McCormack). On an acid trip, teen hooligan Coco (Ewen Bremner) trades bodies with a fetus.

"The Acid House" makes "Trainspotting" look like a mild-mannered youth comedy. The producers of this British pic have said that they wanted the film to be 100% uncut, undiluted Irvine Welsh, and that's exactly what it is, for better or worse. Should pique the interest of U.S. distribs willing to take a chance on such an edgy offering.

10. The Acid House Trilogy (1998) Movie Review from Eye for Film
Missing: summary | Show results with:summary
Advertised as "100% pure Irvine Welsh", this three-hander implies that John Hodge's adaptation of Trainspotting was a girl's blouse. Make no mistake, undiluted Welsh hurts in a bad way. And there's no fun in that. The Granton Star Cause is coming from somewhere else. It has surreal black humour and a wonderfully witty camera style. Maurice Roeves, as God, in a role Sean Connery turned down, is almost worth the price of a ticket and Welsh's dialogue captures the comic phrasing of Edinburgh's working class to a f***ing tee. My Name Is Joe sounds polite in comparison.

Irvine Welsh's scintillating, disturbing, and altogether outrageous collection of stories—the basis for the 1998 cult movie directed by Paul McGuigan. He is called "the Scottish Celine of the 1990s" (Guardian) and "a mad, postmodern Roald Dahl" (Weekend Scotsman). Using a range of approaches from bitter realism to demented fantasy, Irvine Welsh is able to evoke the essential humanity, well hidden as it is, of his generally depraved, lazy, manipulative, and vicious characters. He specializes particularly in cosmic reversals—God turn a hapless footballer into a fly; an acid head and a newborn infant exchange consciousnesses with sardonically unexpected results—always displaying a corrosive wit and a telling accuracy of language and detail. Irvine Welsh is one hilariously dangerous writer who always creates a sensation.
