Donnie Darko





(2001)






Alexis says:


4.5 STARS



I am not sure how this film made it into out Halloween stack or if it really belongs, but I'm sure it has something to do with how much I really enjoy this film.
The first time I was a little skeptical because of the description of a demonic bunny rabbit named Frank but the story is actually quite interesting and well thought out, there aren't lots of wholes and the film makes you think.
I really wish everyone would see this movie, I think it is that good and interesting.

This is one of those movies that kind of surprises you with how interesting it actually gets. The story gets a little convoluted, with the whole time travelling-demonic bunny-seeing the future thing going on, but it is still an enjoyable film. A little on the dark and depressing side, but the title should have prepared you for that already.




The characters are great and surprisingly well developed, and the actors do a good job with their parts. The director does such a good job that it is hard to distinguish what is and is not reality anymore, and the story lends itself to a few possible interpretations, which we wont go into here because of spoilers.




All in all, this is a movie that is worth your time. You're guaranteed to be thinking about it the next day.
