This week we watch Altered States from 1980. Directed by Ken Russell and starring William Hurt and Blair Brown.  With mind-bending visuals and a heavy dose of surreal horror, Altered States blends science fiction with psychological terror, leaving audiences questioning the boundaries of reality, the self, and what it truly means to be human. We also discover perhaps, the true origins of the fave SNL character Mr Peepers.
