Altered

About This Movie

So, 'Altered' is one of those films that kind of flies under the radar. Directed by Eduardo Sánchez, it’s a blend of horror and science fiction with a gritty, tense atmosphere. The pacing has this relentless quality, keeping you on edge as these four men confront their past. It’s not just about the aliens; it dives deep into themes of trauma and revenge, which gives it a different flavor compared to typical creature features. The practical effects on the alien are pretty solid, which adds a nice touch of realism. The performances feel authentic, especially from the lead guys, who carry that weight of their shared experience. There’s a rawness to it that makes it stand out in the genre.
