You know movies like this will never happen again. The guy literally wanted to experience what it was like to go back through every life form that came before people & couldn't stop until someone pulled him out of it.

Saw this in the theater when I was fifteen. Years later, when I began experimenting with Psychedelics, I realized just how "experienced" the writer and producer and director must have been. There are parts of this that mimic a DMT (Dimethyltripymine) trip so closely. The film was so far ahead of its time, but I know few people these days who have actually seen it.

Okay, so he's a little "emotionally unavailable".

She just jumps right into that chaos to find him. That girl has some serious stones.

This film is a masterpiece, and THIS is the role that should have won William Hurt a much-deserved Oscar, as well as his outstanding supporting role in 'Dark City.'

The sound crew was nominated for an 1981 Academy Award for their efforts, it's a great feeling.

This movie was a fun date night at the theater back in 1980.  Think I will watch it again.  Wow, his girlfriend rescued his cell and brought him back as a whole man!!  Rest in Peace William Hurt.

80s horror was simply the best.

Better than all the rest.

Well, this will be difficult to explain to the next of kin.  Good news is, he's not technically dead.  Bad news is, he's primordial goop.

RIP William Hurt

What...just....happened. seriously

Tfw you step on a Lego block by accident: 2:09

I was lucky enough to see this when it came out in the theater. The audience was amazed.

Charles Haid in the x-ray lab speaking to George Gaynes about Hurt's neck: "Something looks a little unusual about the architecture around there."  Gaynes (radiologist and speaking with a German accent): " A leetle? Your friend is a fucking gorilla!"

This movie was a masterpiece 👏

The sound design is fucking disturbing as hell, I must say nicely done to the person who did the sound design for this movie.

So not only was he giving off enough energy to glow from INSIDE the sensdep tank, but his awareness of the box's dimensions formed a portal in that shape to...somewhere.

" fight it Eddie fight it " !!

This movie never gets old for me.

R.I.P. William Hurt
