If I need to believe my movie journal from years ago, I watched this movie in 2011, with my brother. The only thing I penned down about it afterwards was, translated from Dutch:
Bizarre movie with intriguing intro and strange twists. Suitable for whoever likes weird movies...
Looking at the above, I used three different words that have a similar meaning, all pointing to the fact that this is not your average movie. I also use the word 'intriguing'. I am a sucker for these kind of films.
If you like atypical stories and films, if you're into 80s cinema, horror, sci-fi and/ or thrillers, this is a film that you can't miss.
Highly recommended!
Here's its trailer:

Have you seen this film? If so, how did you like it? Does it make you think of any other title?
##### Another Ken Russell movie that I would recommend people to watch is: Women in Love (1969)
If you're interested in more backstory – before or after watching Altered States - I would recommend you read [this great post](https://steemit.com/science/@alexbeyman/john-c-lilly-the-mad-scientist-who-gave-lsd-to-dolphins) by @alexbeyman with plenty of backstory on the scientist whose research inspired this movie and the book that it's apparently adapted from. Thank you, Alex!
