Altered States: final hallucination scene

[5jerry]

This is an amazing piece of film.

[MrDeltaforcers]

What the hell? At 4:21, it that Wendy Williams bubble light? That Fucking bitch!!

[OroborusFMA]

This movie begs for a remake with some decent CGI ... this is more goofy than scary or awe inspiring.

[ooOmegaSupremeoo]

@OroborusFMA

Remake with CGI?!? Are you nuts?!? There is no need to remake a classic like this. NO REMAKES!

[ZBone12]

lol in the beginning of the vid he acts like hes constipated.

[unfolding83]

This one's in the CIA's personal video library, along with the Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland.

I WARN ANY OF YOU, those who are choosing to watch this for the first time, if you begin to feel rather mentally uncomfortable in certain scenes of this film, TURN IT OFF IMMEDIATELY. For the novice, This movie is capable of hurting the mind, the realms of unconscious fear imploding itself at many times the level some are used to. This video has been used in mind control projects. Be discreet.

[whiteneptunexyz]

oh my, 4:19

[smdfg15]

tripping balllllllllllz.

[koskorax]

Thats not a halluscination... He actually did divide by zero here

[STRGATE7]

one time, i took 10 hits of acid in 1 nite. for a couple hours, i lay in a fetal position and i couldn't move. all i was able 2 see was a thin line of red/green dots. and all i kept imagining was being a vegetable 4ever....  :S

[tool619]

Now im never gonna do drugs...

[wookie72]

And that, boys and girls, is where babies come from.

[Hootshot112]

@wookie72 hahaha! 

[3SidedSquare]

[dontlaughatmyface]

[onemanarmyasonrip]

[kevinhardy]

kool

[skatingG0d]

I wonder if god likes this movie.

[ifuckenhateyou]

take some shrooms then you will understand what this movie is about

[nakedwaterskier]

Lawnmower Man



[joefederico]

I saw this movie when I was 15 and perhaps never understood it. I think the best parts were where Blair Brown gets nekked.

[SimonCowellAI]

Some scientist took these drugs and this was the 'sensory deprivation' experiments they use on Terrorist in Guantanimo bay right now, the stress of the drugs and the sensory deprivation torture created some sort of psychic phenemona, telekinetic energy on a massive scale, growing more and more conscious, defined.

[rodbaker82]

@SimonCowellAI , Please stop being retarded.

[SimonCowellAI]

This is all based on a true story. this really happened.

[bluerat77]

I absolutely LOVE this movie but I really don't like the epilogue...it is too optimistic, too "my-love-will-save-you". I'd prefer a f**king apocalypse!!

[Hootshot112]

they use the same tank and technology in Fringe

[ivanhidayat]

The ending reminds me of 2001: A Space Odyssey

[redtaperecorder]

'akira' totally stole from this.

[CALAMAR244]

ok, i get every time more convinced that this film or movie or intent of movie or whatever u wanna call this thing, is HORRIBLE i mean, when i watch this for first time on CineMax, i was like W T F is this O . M . F . G is this serioulsy? or is like scary movie a joke of a real movie? but now i realize that this is a real movie and is one of worst movies i ever seen and weird movies i ever seen.. indeed is like watchin some shit to get drug into it.

[straytbusta]

@CALAMAR244 dude your opinion is really not needed. stop dissing the movie on every video. if you dont like it then DONT FUCKING WATCH IT.

[NotSoOldHippy]

There are a lot of frothing loons out there that think this kind of thing actually happens.

[Zardoz70062]

what ever happened to blair brown?

[halfbreed1426]

well, now, kids. i know where anno hideaki got most of his ideas from. jks

[Neurofunkable]

Wow :o Freaking trippy

[frankp7400]

I love this scene when Blair Brown goes into the void and saves Eddie....Now that's love!

[Philly696]

holy shit ,my favorite film +_+

[MissQuade]

Looks like he just divided by zero.

[whitedevil2]

or tried to explain the infield fly rule to a woman

[Grunge00125]

OH GOD NO!

Has he tried being an hero?

[thx291]

What you have just witnessed in this scene was a phen-no-me-non; an inexplicable, physical phen-no-me-non!

[cykcykcykcykbum]

Do you know that feeling when your disappointment turn into a sudden laugh?

Like when you, e.g. got someone to buy you sth in the grocery and he totally misunderstood you?

After great 1st part, where a scientist's trail of a possible schizophrenia medicine leads him to some metaphysical experiences (love 'Blueberry') and some philosophical earlier problems awaits their conclusions, in the 2nd part I'm suddenly finding myself watching a crazy monkey-lab-escape class B horror movie:D

[astralseeker]

man I didn't know my teenage era was influenced by a class b horror movie ... !! :-)

I should have virtually met you 20 years before, I would have saved time and nrj !!! :-) :-) :-)

[getoharmony]

@cykcykcykcykbum dude i just had tht exact same feelin ur describing after i saw this scene... a wtf plus laughter lol

[axisoffeeble]

@cykcykcykcykbum That seems to be how all the "classic" horror movies work. They promise, in the first act, to address urgent philosophical problems of modern life. By the third act they're just about body panic and spewing fluids.

I still love this movie though. (Ape Scientist on the Rampage is a classic movie trope.)

[5jerry]

It's funny, a whirlpool is called an "eddy," and here she is, in a whirlpool, screaming "EDDIE!!!"

hahahaha

[5jerry]

Blair Brown. And, in 1980, she was definitely hot.

[swagled]

I remember seeing this on TV when I was a kid - was pretty scary stuff even edited down. And I don't think this is ALL of the final scene. I remember William Hurt struggling to reclaim human form, banking his deformed arm on the walls ...

[EyelessEntity]

yeah, well that is in the epilogue of the film you could say :)

When that part came up the first time I saw this movie I was like: "NNOOOO not agaaaiin! I thought it was over!" D:

Definietly one of the best films I've seen.

[agustusgaloof]

ha wow i just watched this and its seriously fucked up....

So thats how those geico cavemen came into existence....

[gayspoon]

sit on a sybian

[ZBone12]

O.O

[XxINCHAINSxX]

Me next please! Where does the line start? *Shuffles forward* O.o

[b0grillaz]

willy tickling toothbrush

[psychoticsuperhero]

awesome clip my dear u rock

[wbtarkus]

Ken Russell is great !

[edaines]

PURE FUCKING HORROR

[awesomeon]

this is what happens when you fuck with science

[guerilla1985]

lol its just a movie, i hope you don't ACTUALLY believe 'fucking with science' can have these consequences

[awesomeon]

still though, its fucking werid.

[guerilla1985]

yea it sure is, well some science we shouldn't mess with too much, genetics....if we mess with dna and spawn some kinda freakish new race that wipes us out, heck who knows what secrets dna holds.

[metzgerer]

this is what happens when you fuck with me ;)

[gotgot4242]

This movies insane!

[serkangirell]

thats what happens when you have a small penis

[Markno3]

The screams in the scene where he painfully and horifically devolved into that fucking disgusting looking 'Blob' was haunting and strangely satisfying to see him suffer.

Must have taught him one hell of a lession.

[Adams116]

horrible acting but great movie!

[minztee23]

great movie indeed

[EVM3point0]

i wonder if this is possible lol.

[justinjohnson14]

Ive seen people eaten by sharks, rabid dogs and flesh eating mutants but thats scary

[tommy423]

Great Film. Which depicts not only science fiction, but science fact. Too bad this film wasn't geared more toward science fact, with the drugs of choice. No chance of transgression, maybe in the head, but not physically.

[eltiodeaca]

anyone know more movies like these?

[scootopsy]

in terms of bizarre trippy shit... the holy mountain. but it has a totally different feel, which i don't really like.

[EVM3point0]

i reccomend "the fly" and "the fly 2"

[nicelydestroyed]

@eltiodeaca [mostly] anything by Tsukamoto, Shinya or Miike, Takashi . . .

[mnight08]

@eltiodeaca videodrome?

[pagliaccinodlemantra]

@eltiodeaca I cant tell you the moviez, i gonna tell you the name of the perfect director for you!

STANLEY KUBRICK

the genre you want is Surrealism and Hallucination!

[4everfrankenstein]

@eltiodeaca In terms of sheer weirdness; ERASERHEAD, THE FLY(86) 2001; A SPACE ODYSSEY, SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE, THE HOLY MOUNTAIN, EL TOPO, FIGHT CLUB. THE MASK (1961)

[wookie72]

@eltiodeaca Pretty much anything else by Ken RUssell. A very awesome if strange director.

[gutternugget]

@eltiodeaca anything by Ken Russell. They're all pretty trippy.



[helloofiree]

@eltiodeaca If you end up watching 'Eraserhead' by David Lynch, make sure you watch it on LSD for your first time...i'm telling you, it's meant to be watched on acid.

[keytoothed]

It's based a lot on the work of John C. Lily, who pioneered the isolation tank, use of LSD, communication between humans and dolphins, and "altered states."

[deepseabattles]

many sources soley refer toLilly's work w LSD-25

his entheogen of choice, however, was ketamine--a powerful dissociative psychedelic that can induce complete seperation of mind and body

[darktim99]

i love this film. watched it while really stoned last night. fuckin best film i've ever seen!

[bnbnnbbnbnnbnbnbnbnb]

wut is dis movie about?

[KnowledgeLiberation]

altered states

[VAThrasher]

can you say MINDFUCKED?

[paindoll]

......WHAT!!!!

[Theyellowma]

This happened to me once. Now lasers periodically shoot out of my eyes and the Blue Meanies come over every Tuesday to chill.

[chopin65]

Too bad no one has loaded the whole thing.

[jaybird321]

Cool movie from the very early eighties. This was as cool as it got before CGI.

[ZBone12]

So were the halluciantions becoming real?

[lupine73]

Yeah, basically he was regressing enough that he was basically digging back through time and evolution... and what he was experiencing started externalizing. Very trippy movie. I was a kid when it came out and I remember seeing one scene and it scared the crap outta me heheh.

[Jal8919536]

The guy who did the make-up in this film was the same one who did the make-up in William Friedkin's "The Exorcist" (1973); that is apparent in the scene where Dr. Jessop devolves into a primal human which resembles the make-up Linda Blair wore for a demonically-possessed Regan. ; )

[quintaros]

Dick Smith was the make-up artist. One of the pioneers in the industry and a mentor to those that followed.

[legggomyego]

This movie is like the exorcist for entheogens. I'm not sure how much I trust what kind of view towards psychedelics it's trying to give off here....

[CulturalCritic22]

shit... im bout to smoke in a minute.. then rewatch this... holy shit...

[bernlin2000]

Danger: not a drug free movie :)
