Altered Reality

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.

First of all, the story isn't bad (except for the terrible ending), the cast gave a good try.

Well, that is except for the male headrole. Never seen this guy acting before, and there's a good reason to it. He absolutely stinks. Use a display model and it will do a better job.

What brings us to directing. Well, what should have to be directing, because it seems the actors didn't get any directions what so ever.

A movie which could've been good, got messed up in a terrible way. This is an average B-movie, nothing more.

If you have absolutely nothing to watch, then give it a try. But you are warned :-)

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!

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.

I wonder if the filmmaker attempted to make a supposedly unintended cult movie on account of its laughability (ala The Room).

The whole storyline was implausible, confusing, and did not hang together. The acting was completely unconvincing starting by the main actor who was also the director and producer. The only actor whose performance was half way descent was the old man, but I have no clue why they even needed him for the story.

The screenplay attempted to involve too many different things that only convoluted the plot without reason. There were major storyline parts that were missing in order to tell a cohesive story. The worst part was the filmmakers didn't miss a single opportunity to hit all clichés on the way to the dumpster-fire!
