Altered Reality

Altered Reality caught me off guard in a good way. What starts as a quiet story about a man revisiting a family vacation spot quickly unravels into a supernatural mystery with time travel, ghostly secrets, and the kind of emotional twists you don't see coming.

Oliver's journey from ordinary businessman to the center of a cosmic-level miracle (and disaster) feels both surreal and oddly relatable. It's about what happens when you get everything you thought you wanted... but lose what really matters.

The story is packed with eerie moments and unexpected turns (yes, even a ghost from the 1600s who might know more about the future than you'd expect). And while it was only a brief appearance, seeing Ed Asner on screen brought a quiet, meaningful weight to it all, like a moment of wisdom dropped in at just the right time.

It's definitely quirky. It's heartfelt.

And it leaves you thinking about what you'd do if you could rewrite your own story.

What a brilliant movie full of emotion and action. Charles Agron has put together a thrilling and exciting picture that will keep you on the edge of your seat. This is a must see film that will force you to think out of the box.

After watching such a tremendously dynamic and inspiring movie you will want to see the next production of such a terrific team of filmmakers. Altered Reality shows that imagination is your only limitiation and that you can achieve anything as long as you have a will for it and the focus as well as a solid discipline. The film is now available on multiple platforms in the USA so don't make an excuse and watch it right now!

I'm a sucker for Tobin Bell, his performance is pretty good in this movie.

The premise is a bit convoluted but the cinematography is top notch and its overall a visual delight.

It is a very dark movie however I think that comes with the territory of thrillers like this.

The old man in this movie has a top tier performance without going into spoiling it. It's just a shame that they didn't give too many reasons to keep him relevant throughout.

If you are looking to watch something thought provoking with having to invest too much effort into than this is pretty good popcorn thriller. It might end up as a cult classic!

While I had not heard about this 2024 thriller prior to sitting down and watching it here in 2025, I needed no persuasion to watch it. Why? Well, it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, and the movie had some nice talents on the cast list.

Writer Charles Agron put together a sluggishly paced narrative that failed to capture my interest. And I ended up with my phone in my hand instead of paying attention to the screen. But I just had zero interest in the narrative and the characters on the screen.

The movie does have some good talents on the cast list, with the likes of Lance Henriksen, Tobin Bell and Edward Asner. Despite the fact that the script was rubbish, the acting performances were still fair.

"Altered Reality" was a swing and a miss and it failed to entertain me. It was, hands down, too boring and uneventful. I managed to endure a staggering 36 minutes of absolute nonsense before I tossed the towel in the ring and gave up on the movie.

As for this being a thriller? Well, I suppose is a narrative of absolutely nothing interesting counts as being thrilling, then by all means...

My rating of director Don E. FauntLeRoy's 2024 movie "Altered Reality" lands on a two out of ten stars.

Just watched Altered Reality. It was a genre-bending, emotional rollercoaster that blends ghost stories, time travel, and a cautionary tale about what really matters in life.

What starts as a peaceful family retreat quickly spirals into haunted hotel secrets, miracle drugs, and a mysterious ex-con with a hidden agenda. It's an interesting film that took some time to resonate with me before taking me on a ride about love, loss, and redemption when life takes a surreal turn.

Also, it was touching to see a brief but memorable cameo from the legendary Ed Asner. I believe this was one of his final on-screen appearances, which made it all the more special considering I loved watching him when I was younger.

If you're into supernatural twists, unexpected sci-fi, and stories that pull on your heartstrings, this one might be worth adding to your watchlist if you are looking for something off the beaten commercial path.
