Such a great movie

Rating: 9/10 (31 January 2019)

Don't know if this is exactly a horror film or not but it's close. It's scary for sure, especially when Frank the rabbit appears in a scene.
The mystery and the sense of not really understanding what's going on doesn't take away from the utter enjoyment of watching whats happening. And then somehow everything ties together a makes some sort of sense!
Jake Gyllenhaal is of course brilliant as a sullen Donnie. He's moody and skulks around like a ghost but we care about him and want him to find a way out of the maze this film becomes. Patrick Swayze is brilliant too in his small but important role. But the real star is Richard Kelly the director. He brings everything together and creates a film that feels perfectly balanced - visuals, music, acting, editing, everything just works like a perfectly oiled machine.
