REVIEWS Review by Beth (posted on 10-Jul-2008) This movie follows a teenage boy, Donnie Darko, who is severely disturbed mentally (schizophrenia to be exact). He has a history of seeing things that are not actually there and thusly takes medication for that. However, this time is different. He starts to have visions of a large man dressed in an evil looking rabbit costume, named Frank. Donnie narrowly escapes death due to Frank's appearance, causing Donnie to leave his room when disaster strikes. Donnie then finds out, via Frank, that the world will end in approximately 28 days, and only he can fix it. He follows Franks destructive and sometimes violent instructions in order to ensure the world's safety. He discovers a way to travel through time, and with this knowledge comes the burden of fixing the universe. This movie is outstanding. I have yet to see another movie comprable to this one. The dark humor, suspense, and fantasy elements of this movie all work hand and hand to create an orignal masterpiece.
