On this day, December 25, 1980, the mind-bending science fiction horror film Altered States was released in the United States. Directed by Ken Russell and based on the novel by Paddy Chayefsky, the film stars William Hurt as Dr. Edward Jessup, a psychologist experimenting with sensory deprivation and hallucinogens. His radical research leads to terrifying physical and psychological transformations that challenge the boundaries of science and reality.

A blend of horror, science fiction, and philosophical exploration, Altered States remains a unique and thought-provoking entry in 80s cinema. Have you seen this trippy classic?
