Why watch this? Are there boundaries within the human brain that should never be crossed?

Plot Summary: A psychology professor experiments with sensory deprivation and hallucinogenic drugs, believing it will unlock different states of consciousness. His experiments succeed at first, but he begins to experience altered physical and mental states. As he continues, his grip on reality weakens.

Dad's Preview: This thought-provoking body horror fiction film examines the theoretical dangers of mixing some potent hallucinatory plants (from deepest Mexico) with a sensory deprivation tank. This film is trippy to watch, and sucks the viewer into its dream-like visions of prophecy, anguish and death. Some are symbolic, while others are graphically violent... and unsettling. This was William Hurt's first film, and it is a psychedelic doosie with some ground-breaking special effects!
