Altered States
First of all, if this thread was started already, I'm sorry. Secondly, being a films made in 1980, I thought of posting it here. Altered States is one of the most underrated horror movies in history....

Charles Haid is hilarious as the doctor/scientist friend who furiously poo-poos everything about this experiment but tries to cover-up the truth in Dr.Zaius-like fashion. Blair Brown sans clothing...

I've always considered ALTERED STATES a masterpiece. One of the best examples of love over logic, emotion over reason. The ending left me breathless the first time I saw it, and has had tears in my...

Yeah, the BR looks great. Bare bones, but this is such a rich film, I don't mind.

I am going to have to revisit this one. I only saw it once many, many years ago (I think on cable over 30 years ago) and I remember thinking it was really good and then went off the rails and lost...

Being off the rails is why I like it now. It's really great on a drug trip level. And the actual drug trip he has is very authentic to me. And drug trips never are in movies. Kind of like dreams in...

Pretentious B.S. Coulda also been titled "Is this Trip Really Necessary?"We originally watched it in the 80s for the effects which looked AMAZING in the trailers, but left unimpressed. So anyway: A...

Saw a Carson rerun recently, where Blair Brown was guesting. She was just about to begin shooting this mess (I pretty much agree with herm & Rick), and had two comments: 1. She was going to be...

I love it-then and now. It is a Ken Russell film and gets the full Russell treatment. That's what makes the silly premise of the book into something other than the pedestrian sci-fi film most other...
