Altered States (1980)
|
An American researching different states of consciousness with the aid of mind altering drugs and an isolation chamber begins to experience disturbing physical changes in his body that point toward an evolutionary regression
Overall: Based on a Paddy Chayefsky novel, the film is visually stunning. It’s a weird film and keeps your attention but frankly, don’t watch this film to criticize its story. I’m sure the book was much better and in fact I’m sure the film could have been a bit more concise. But this is the sort of film you just gotta watch and enjoy for entertainment value.
