Rating: 8/10 (19 July 2002)

This film is a relief from all the main-stream movies that are out there. Produced by Drew Barrymore, it tells the story of Donnie Darko who is made to do 'bad' things by an evil (is he?) bunny rabbit. But the actions to which Donnie is forced have a somewhat humorous tint to it and allthough it is in no way a comedy, I was entertained by the colourful script writing: Donnie interacting with his teachers, his shrink, friends..
And since the rabbit is warning Donnie of impending doom, the closer you get to the end of the movie, the more curious you get what that will be, a nice build up!
Jake Gyllenhaal is perfect as a disturbed broody young teenager, the way he looks down and tilts his head up, then shows an evil grin, scarier then the bunny for sure!
