Altered States (1980)

Directed by Ken Russell.

With William Hurt, Blair Brown, Bob Balaban, Charles Haid

It's the late 1960's. Just for a lark, graduate student Eddie Jessup, known for being unconventional, brilliant and slightly mad, conducts experiments with an isolation chamber, using himself as the subject. His experiences in the chamber cause him to hallucinate, much of the imagery being religious-based despite he not being a religious man.
