10 More Sci-Fi Movies That NOBODY Understands
9. Altered States
Should you ever want to annoy a fan of underrated British horror cinema icon/ The Who musical helmer Ken Russell, here's a pair of questions that ought to do the trick:
1. When is Mark Kermode going to convince someone to release the fully-fully untouched edit of The Devils, and...
2. What is Altered States actually about, though?
Following an experimental (emphasis on the mental) scientist’s iconic trip back to the primordial ooze via psychotropics, the film sees its protagonist go from curious man of science to lumbering ape-like missing link to blob of goo and back in the course of its short runtime.
Don't worry, though. You'll be so busy trying to interpret the constant strange symbolism (goat spider headed Jesus included) that you may not even notice his transformation.
Far out.
