Help!!!   Due to a moment of brief stupidity I cannot remember the title actors or any thing helpful like that. In the movie people are getting hopped up on bug pesticide and in one instance this typewriter turns into this giant beetle thing,but may have been one of the characters hallucinations... Please help !!! I'm starting to think this movie may be my hallucination!!! Directing style similar to terry gilliam but wasn't done by him.(don't think)

Sounds a lot like Naked Lunch.  It's from 1991 and was directed by David Cronenberg.  Great flick.

I've caught bits and pieces of that one on IFC, but I think you have to be on brain altering chemicals yourself to understand it . . .

Doesn't that statement go for almost anything Cronenberg makes?  I love the guy, love his visions and love his creations.....but a lot of it doesn't make sense.

Anyway, watching Naked Lunch while on a mind altering drug might scare the hell out of me.
