He has no recollection of who he is, how he got there or if he sliced up the whore in his room. Afraid that he may be a serial killer, the confused but aptly named John flees the scene. The bad men, who have nifty names like Mr. Hand and Mr. Book, are from another world and have come to earth to continuously experiment on us humans so that they can live longer.

Its set design is kind of a cross between The Hudsucker Proxy, Metropolis, City of Lost Children and Batman.

Dark City makes it obvious that Proyas suffers from Attention Deficit Disorder.
