altered states (1980)

"The purpose of our suffering is only more suffering."
A scientists (William Hurt) researches de-evolution using himself as a guinea pig, resulting in his devolving into a caveman, with all the problems this brings.
A warping of the Jeykll and Hyde story, ramping up the evolution and drugs elements, as Ken Russell puts his stamp on the tale (i.e. drugs and religious imagery).
