Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 3 December 2022

Verified Purchase

With the recent proliferation of paranormal/parapsychological interest, this film is prescient in its promotion of - literally - altered (shamanic) states of consciousness to make some kind of meaning if our existence. One of Ken Russell’s best films and unjustly overlooked.

A Thinking Man's Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde for the 21st Century !

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 26 December 2019

Verified Purchase

Excellent treatment of the old Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde theme, taking it to new levels of quantum physics/nature of reality as a high flying American science professor combines the effects of Ayahuasca with electro magnetism on the human brain using himself as guinea pig much to the consternation of his doubting colleagues. 80% of this film script is scientific, exploring scientific possibilities of quantum realities and how to access them, the drama only coming in at the end, exploring the notion of whether the internal subconscious can be actualised into external reality via dimensional access. Some spectacular filmic druggy imagery similar to Kubrick's "2001 ~ A Space Odyssey". His experiments do go beyond his expectations with reverse time travel merging with the present day. A very interesting treatment of alternate realities for anyone interested in ayahuasca, psy-ops, remote viewing, esp, extra sensory consciousness. parallel universes etc. Thinky thinky as opposed to Hammer Horror. A thinking man's "Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde" .

Fantastic and fast-paced body-horror film about the search for God in man

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 16 January 2020

Verified Purchase

Brilliant Blu-ray version of Ken Russell’s Altered States starring William Hurt, Blair Brown, Charles Haid, Bob Balaban with a first appearance by Drew Barrymore. Frenzied, hallucinogenic and body-morphing results come from disaffected Harvard professor Jessup’s attempts to locate the primordial self via a route of self-deprivation (isolation tank) and sensory augmentation (peyote). His hallucinations build in intensity over time until his very physical structure morphs into an horrific series of proto-human and cellular transformation, while his
family and colleagues reactions escalate into dismay and panic. The answers he gets provide a climactic reunion with the essential and ecstatic glue of the universe, i.e. love. A moral battle between scientific
obsession and human concerns, the pace is breakneck, the horror-fantasy intense and the visuals astounding. Don’t think, just see it.

What a wonderfully brilliant film

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 18 August 2015

Verified Purchase

What a wonderfully brilliant film, sends you back straight to that older and, yes, better world before neoliberalism, when science was still connected to an idea of passion, personal growth and discovery, to the idea that knowledge has something to do with transformation and is real when it springs from a deeply personal, sometimes Faustian, drive. Call me a romantic, but that idea has no cash value in the administered world anymore. The only thing - towards the end the idea that absolute reality is terrible and so there is no other truth than human love is a bit dated perhaps and if you want to see it, a dark foreboding of what the 80s were going to bring. Ultimate reality is not terrible. But the frame, that the encounter with the absolute restores humanity by restoring love was very good. And as a film, technically, cinematographically, iconic - wow!

I wasted time watching this,

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 25 July 2022

Verified Purchase

If I could remember who it was who recommended this movie to me I would have something to say to them. I only watched it to the end because of the faint hope of something interesting happening. Nothing much at all. I will add it to my list of worst movies I have seen.

Good film but dated

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 26 July 2019

Verified Purchase

Enjoyable mad scientist on psychedelic drugs Jeckyll and Hyde caper. The special effects were probably groundbreaking at the time but look more than a little creaky now. Still worth a watch but don't expect to be blown away by the graohics unless you haven't watched any new film in the last 30 years.
