Altered States (1980)

I saw this film because it was shown in my college art class. I wasn't expecting much, but it was definitely something. The opening itself was brilliant and got me hooked. The music score was also fantastic and created the perfect tone for the film. the film definitely had many stand out scenes that were actually creepy. Many images put together especially with loud sound created an ominous tone. As the film went on though it became less interesting, and I didn't particularly think it ended strong. I do have to say that the film had a lot of ambition and in that I am grateful for it and am very happy to recommend it. I can't believe I had never heard of it before.
7.5/10
