Psychotropica is a 2009 experimental fantasy film. It was directed by Damien Sage. The film was also written by Damien Sage under the pseudonym Sergio Mauroforte. The cast is composed of mostly unknown actors and actresses from the Raleigh, North Carolina area. The film also features Aeryn Süin of the industrial rock band RIP/TORN in a supporting role. Aeryn Süin and RIP/TORN also provided the score and original songs.

The film is told in a fractured narrative that jumps through different time periods in the lead character's life. It is purposefully unclear as to whether some events shown are real, psychologically distorted or outright fantasy, as the entire movie was conceived to be like a series of hallucinations or interconnected dreams captured on film.

Psychotropica was shot in and around Raleigh, Damien Sage's home town. Some scenes were also shot in the city of Graham, North Carolina. About 40% of the film was shot and produced in 2005; shooting stopped due to various reasons (mostly owing to Damien Sage funding the film out of pocket) then commenced again in 2009. The remaining 60% of the film was shot and produced from July 2008 to July 2009.

The film has so far received unanimous critical acclaim and many positive notices in the independent media.

Synopsis

The film opens with an elderly man (Damien Sage as "The Patient") leaving a rushed and emotional, voice message to his partner of 30 years. The Patient implies that an insidious person from his distant past (a past he never spoke of to his lover) has shown up and this person is very dangerous. The Patient has decided to run out on the good life he has had for so long, to leave his lover and everything they have behind to keep his partner out of harms way. When The Patient finishes his message and prepares to leave he suffers from delirum, and he sees an orange fishtank with devil horns and eats it. In this moment The Patient drifts off into his subconscious mind, into his past. As this happens the "elderly" Patient's apartment fades away into a bright white light that reveals a large ominous building perched on a jagged cliff side, overlooking the sea.
