Bigger Than Life submitted by lstorc on July 28, 2019, 11:24pm Bigger Than Life was probably groundbreaking when it came out. The ending is unsatisfactory, pollyanna garbage. It's also nearly impossible to suspend disbelief because the "drug" in question does not commonly (or ever really) result in psychosis.
