What is with this movie???

Rating: 6/10 (29 June 2002)

Ok, I was really intrigued by this movie. I thought it was an interesting division between comedy, horror, and just plain drama. One of those movies where the ending keeps you talking about it for days to come. I was surprised by the acting... Jake Gyllenhaal did a superb job as Donnie Darko, and with back-ups like Noah Wyle and Drew Barrymore, the movie drew you in to the characters. I thought that it was a great idea for a horror- type theme, even though the director did not go that route. The bunny was the freakiest thing I have ever seen, and what made it worse was that it didn't DO anything... reminds me of the stuffed animals I used to be scared of when I was a kid, because, in the dark, they looked like monsters. A good film overall, but just slightly strange the way it flip flopped back and forth between happy and just plain scary... 6/10
