The unlikely genres of sci-fi, horror, romance, and comedy mix bizarrely well in this cult production. The 80s setting makes it almost reminiscent, alhough it feels as if you're right there beside Donnie the whole way through. With such a following, and being such a great thought-provoking film it's surprising that this film is generally sold at low prices, but whatever you do, don't let your curiosity tempt you into seeing the supposed 'sequel' S Darko as Donnie Darko is best left untainted.
