    this movie was so different from what i was expecting but it was fucking awesome cuz its different. It was like a modern retelling of the wolfman.

    Exhilarating psychological sci-fi about a university professor who encloses himself in a sensory-deprivation chamber and experiments with hallucinogenic drugs with drastic results. Seductively sets up a feeling of anticipation in the first half, then devolves into a rather amusi...( read more)ngly ridiculous horror film in the second half. Filled with dreamlike images, stunning special effects and horrific makeup. Even at its most ludicrous, it is a thrilling roller coaster ride of a film. William Hurt gives a brilliantly unbalanced performance in his film debut.

    The special effects of 2001: a space odyssey, but with a good storyline to go with it. The William Hurt monkey was awesome. I think it's neat to think about how our bodies are made up of elements that have been other people's bodies and minds since the beginning.

    I'm no fan of director Russell but this was a creepy pseudo-scientific movie. The FX were surprisingly good and I enjoyed the trippy moments. It reminded me alot of Cronenberg's early work.

    Truly horrifying and beautiful at the same time. This is one of the most bizarre viewing experiences i've ever had. The plot was smart, well planned and nearly plausible. The creators obviously spent a great amount of time researching the topic. William Hurt gave a really hauntin...( read more)g performance, his best probably.

    Cool idea; but the amateurishly executed effects ruin the otherwise darkly disturbing mood. And Blair Brown is really annoying.

    Amazing. The story is dark but is lightened by well-placed, yet sometimes cheesy, humor.
