And it's a might good one, at that. The others are both excellent films, as well. I know they're on the creepy side, but I hope you go back to them.

I LOVE An American Werewolf in London and thought of it for this but had used it before. A great blend of humor and horror.<br /><br />This is most definitely not a genre I tend towards but I managed three by including a film that to this day I can't remember why I watched or stuck with once I started but I suppose since I was able to use it today it wasn't a complete waste of time. Still it's include more as a warning to avoid.<br /><br /> Altered States (1980)-Ken Russell directed head trip about a college professor (William Hurt) who uses ancient tribal halogenics and an isolation tank to achieve another level of consciousness eventually devolving to a primordial ooze of energy as his colleagues and estranged wife (Blair Brown) fight to restrain him from destroying himself. Screen bow for both Hurt and Drew Barrymore as one of his daughters.<br /><br />Society (1989)-Bottom of the barrel sludge about a teenage boy (Billy Warlock) who senses that he’s different from the rest of his family who mix with a certain level of society while he is more of an everyday kind of guy. After several disturbing incidents he discovers the truth which is revealed in revolting fashion. Terrible junk.<br /><br />The Fly (1958)-Inventor Andre Delambre (David Hedison) is experimenting with his teleportation device, first with inanimate objects which he’s successful with and eventually animals where he runs into problems. Working on the glitches he decides to try the machine out on himself….but unbeknownst to him a fly gets in before he hits the switch and a melding occurs and he becomes THE FLY!! A big drive-in hit on release this isn’t as technically savvy as the 80’s remake but fun on its own merits and hey it’s got Vincent Price in the cast, always a plus.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.com
