Blu-Ray Giveaway: Altered States

by

Courtesy of BoulevardMovies.com, I have a copy of Altered States for one (1) lucky winner:

Synopsis:
Research scientist Eddie Jessup (William Hurt) believes other states of consciousness are as real as everyday reality. Using sensory deprivation, then adding powerful, hallucinogenic drugs, he explores these altered states and endures experiences that make madness seem a blessing.

Academy award winner William Hurt as Jessup (his film debut) heads a solid cast featuring Blair Brown, Bob Balaban and Charles Haid. Working from Paddy Chayefskys novel, director Ken Russell guides us with a sorcerers skill through Eddie’s magical and horrific journey as Altered States gyrates with dazzling visual bravado and bracing emotional impact.

Contest is open to US residents only. To enter, just fill out the form below. Contest ends February 22. I’ll draw a name on February 23, and notify winner via email.

Good luck!
