Disturbing Science Fiction Movies Based on True Stories

hey you movies like us use sci-fi ideas to help ground them in reality however it's when those same movies add the phrase based on a true story that keeps you up at night it's a visceral reminder that the real world can be just as unnerving as movies so it got me thinking which sci-fi horror movie accurately portrays real events best in the movie The Blob a small jelly-like blob falls from space and lands in a small town somewhere in PA this blob is autonomous and begins rolling around absorbing

residents and growing in size however in the real life events a couple state troopers see something fall from the sky so they go and they check it out upon finding the landing site they see the jelly-like blob one of the cops actually takes his bare hands and puts it inside the blob according to the officers it simply evaporated and disappeared that's it not a very accurate portrayal if you ask me so I moved on to the The Mothman Prophecies then I scrubbed the Mothman Prophecies from the list I

determined that it wasn't sci-fi enough luckily I had already found what I was looking for the movie Altered States retells the very true story of Dr John C Lily and his attempts to determine if there are Altered States Of Consciousness the question plaguing Dr Lily is one of the oldest in Psychology is consciousness active or reactive in his pursuit to answer the question he invents the sensory deprivation tank for his experiments a coffin-like pod is filled with water and infused with a th000

pound of epson salt he's lowered into the water his sense of where his arms and legs are in three-dimensional space fade away he's floating he's weightless and just then the LSD kicks in I was doing that work with LSD in the tank in St Thomas and the National Institute of Mental Health on which I had a fellowship when want resarch on of substance one takes it so frequently that outside observers can say you're addicted but uh that's a very bad definition of addiction one could go anywhere that

one could imagine one could go we've all experienced lucid dreams to varying degree for most people the moment they acknowledge to themselves this is a dream they wake up in fact everyone wakes up however Sometimes some people are able to hold on and keep that world intact fly around and manifest anything according to Dr Lily that and even schizophrenia are simply other states of Consciousness to prove this Dr Lily self- experimented extensively with LSD ketamine and other psychoactive substance

s before climbing into the tank Dr John C Lily would remain in these warp sensory deprived States for long periods he pushed further and further upping frequencies and combining multiple substances as Dr Lily delved into the mysteries of Altered States of Consciousness he simultaneously embarked on another Fascination intrigued by the complexities of communication he began studying Dolphins he published several books that detail his attempt to communicate with them coincidentally the US Navy was

also researching mammals the small research program that started in the 60s is still in existence till today the naval information Warfare centers Marine Mammal program trains dolphins and sea lions to sear for and locate undersea mines there is no concrete evidence that the Navy's program was inspired by Dr Lily's work nor did Dr Lily ever find an answer to his Consciousness question before he passed however the answer to what you should watch next is right here
