If you're a lover of strange, psychological horror-thrillers, you're in for a treat with this classic 70's film. Dr Jessup (William Hurt) is a research scientist at Cornell Medical College who is fascinated with the various states of human consciousness. He has been studying the effects of isolation on the human psyche by conducting tests with his students and an isolation tank. Intrigued by the results, he decides to place himself in the tank, and with the help of his sidekick, Arthur Rosenburg (Bob Balaban), spends several sessions recording his physiological and psychological changes. Everything seems to be going smoothly enough, until he hears of a tribe in Mexico that uses mind altering 'magic mushrooms' that produce similar sorts of results and decides he must learn more about it all. In Mexico, he partakes of a ceremony and has one incredible 'trip' that both frightens and inspires him. He returns to the States with a large sample of the drug and combines his isolation research with his 'magic mushroom' research and although the results become more and more horrific, and the dangers increase, it is when he finds that his altered consciousness is also resulting in physical alterations that he becomes obsessed with proving that the changes are not just in the mind, but that he physically regresses as well.
