Altered States comes to mind. It sort of straddles sci-fi and horror without really being firmly in either. Deals with some fringe psychology research during the 70’s going wrong in unexpected ways.
Brainstorm is more obviously sci-fi / speculative fiction… can’t say to much else without spoiling the surprises.
Neither one of these is going to seriously blow your mind, but there’s still food for thought. Bon appétit. 
I love Altered States. And for some reason I always associate it with Dreamscape and I like watching them together.
Don’t think I’ve ever seen that, I’ll check it out :-)
Hope you like it! Now that I've talked about it I feel an itch for a double bill this weekend haha!
Just found a copy and the cover/synopsis unlocked some dim memories. I love rediscovering something I saw a bit of on TV when I was a kid but never got to finish, thank you :-)
That was it! Awesome :-)
I didn’t remember the whole plot but I definitely remember the cobra-man.
David Patrick Kelly’s character was bugging me right up until the end… such great monologues, his voice is so creepy.
Lolll so great, glad you had fun :) Corba-Man was nightmare fuel for a while when I was a kid. DPK's face was already seared into my brain from The Warriors, I was so afraid of him!
