Dark, strange, and haunting

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2003)

I almost stopped watching this film in the first few minutes, assaulted by the brash 80's music and bizarre visions. But I'm glad I stuck in there! Donny is a sweet, bright suburban teenager who just happens to be going completely insane. In fact, the whole world seems to be losing it. Early in the film, Donny's home is hit by a falling jet engine. Unfortunately, the FAA cannot find any record of a plane flying overhead at the time!
Donny is tormented by evil visions, prophesying the End of the World. The film becomes a countdown to that date, as Donny's visions force him into more violent behavior, and the world itself seems to be rushing to some strange end. The film's finale is consistent, satisfying, and haunting.
