Never judge a movie by it's cover, that's what I did. I requested this from my library a couple months ago. I took one look at the cover and seen a young guy with an ax over his shoulder and said to myself, 'nope I'm not watching a slasher horror film.' So I never watched it.
But as fate would have it, this movie was discussed here. So once again I requested it. This time I watched it.
Donnie Darko is no horror film, it wasn't even particularly violent, at least in a gory way. This is more of a psychological Sci fi movie, akin to a 21st century Twilight Zone episode...punched up and brought to the big screen.
At the start I had an idea of what the movie might turn out to be. But the ending was completely different than what I had imaged. I liked it.
