Review of Altered States (1980) by Kays V — 09 Jan 2008
Altered States is a really mediocre movie that could have been SO good. The acting is great and the effects still hold up today but it has a downfall, the story sets up for something really good and totally lets you down.
I have been told that this is a direct adapatation of the novel (which I have never read) and usually thats great but since the story in the movie becomes so stupid maybe this movie should have deviated from the source.
Hopefully, they will remake this movie and remove the infamous "ape man scene" and show more of Dr. Jessups hallucinations.
