Altered Minds (2014)

In the chilling landscape of psychological thrillers, 'Altered Minds' delves into the unnerving past, the chaos-ridden present, and the ambiguous future of the Shellner family. Dr. Nathaniel Shellner, a 75-year-old Nobel laureate psychiatrist, has lived a life as extraordinary as it is enigmatic. Together with his wife, Lillian, they birth one child and adopt three more from the camps where Dr. Shellner practiced his craft. The Shellner family, now a composite of five - Tommy, Julie, and Harry - gather around their patriarch, as he teeters on the edge of mortality. However, the farewell takes a chilling turn when Tommy, a writer grappling with the demons of terrifying visions and looming insanity, arrives. The family celebration morphs into a high-stakes confrontation as Tommy accuses his father of a sinister motive. The allegations are as shocking as they are chilling - Dr. Shellner didn't adopt out of love, but rather to use his children as subjects for psychological experiments. The family reunion, once a warm gathering, freezes over with tension as Tommy's allegations send ripples through the family. With a past intertwined with the CIA, Dr. Shellner finds his accolades and accomplishments shadowed by the specter of his alleged transgressions. The family finds itself spiraling into a desperate whirlwind of accusations and denials, the surface of their lives cracking to reveal the disturbing uncertainty beneath. In 'Altered Minds', every smile hides a secret, and every truth may just be a well-designed lie.
