Donnie Darko
This movie has a 80% Approval Rating Based on 6 Reviews Read Reviews
Release Date: Monday, January 1st 2001,
The movie is about Donnie (Jake Gyllenhaal) and how one night he wakes up and goes sleep walking with a large man in a sinister bunny outfit. During the time he's gone, a jet engine falls from the sky and crushes his room, which obviously means he would have died.
From then on strange things keep happening and everytime he falls asleep he's doing bad things that might have a meaning, because the night the rabbit spoke to him he told him "Twenty-eight days, six hours, forty-two minutes, twelve seconds. That is when the world will end".
Now we are stuck with the thought, that maybe this disturbed boy might just be making all of this up or there are strange occurences happening around him that can't be explained.
Jake Gyllenhaal leads a star-filled cast as a delusional high school student visited by a demonic rabbit with eerie visions of the past and deadly predictions for the future in this edgy psychological thriller.
