A must see classic!

Rating: Null/10 (15 February 2003)

Donnie Darko is perhaps one of the greatest films of the last decade. Perfectly cast and acted the film portrays the demented life of Donnie Darko. A teenager in high school who is plagued by a bunny rabbit costumed figment of his imagination which encourages him to commit a series of anti-social deeds. This movie is a blend of 80's retro pop culture (but not overbearingly so- an excellent soundtrack really pushes this fact home), sci-fi and suspenseful horror. Don't expect an Evil Dead type gore fest with this film. If you were to compare it to any other film make it The Shining. It many ways I find Donnie Darko to be far superior to The Shining. I would highly recommend this film to anyone and everyone. A must see. I look forward to the directors next film.
