Altered States

"A widescreen anamorphic transfer can be found on this DVD of William Hurt's debut from the novel by Paddy Chayefsky. English and French subtitles are included. The picture is naturally colored, but a bit hazy and dark. Although the remastered Dolby Digital Audio produces rich audio tones, the visual special effects are dated and look rather obviously matted over one another. Included as special features are brief cast biographies/filmographies (text only), two theatrical trailers, two TV spots (TV trailers basically) called ""The Most Dangerous Experiment"" and ""Float Naked,"" and a text-only behind-the-scenes section. A small booklet included with the DVD case offers brief production notes."
