Superb, unique , should come with repeat viewing necessary on the box!

Rating: 9/10 (1 March 2005)

I must admit i have taken my time to pick this film up from my local DVD shop but a special 2 disk edition was far too much to pass up.Despite my tardiness its the best choice I've made as of late, words cannot really sum up this film but ill try to give my spiel to those have yet to see this film. From the first scene of Donnie waking up on a highway and his cycle through a seemingly average sub urban setting, an off key world is seemingly established. I interpreted Donnie's side to be the chaos to the normality that he passes through.As best as i can ill just say this is not a horror/psychological thriller/sci fi it would be all and more piled into one word which is impossible to even type.All i can say is you should really see this film at least once to get a taster and second time to actually fully understand it! I was a little weary of the idea of a 6 ft demonic bunny rabbit, thought the imaginary rabbit had been done with Harvey?The rabbit frank is no arbitrary character added to create stick out weirdness, he is a character crucial to the plot and its whole flow which when it reaches full circle leaves you speechless. I am not choosing to delve into plot as its been all said before, I'm just putting my thoughts as a new believer in Darko completely recommending it to anyone with a curious/open mind to avoid conformity of recent cinema misfit films.The cast is superb, with plenty of familiar faces lending their weight to the scenes of dialogue.Musically its also very well done, special effects are quite a minimum but when its used its very effective.Again all i can say is if you want a unique experience check this film out asap!!
