Review of S. Darko

S. Darko (2009)
1/10
Absolutely appalling
3 July 2009
I am a fan of DD. I so loved the original i bought two copies of the DVD because i wore out the first copy through use. Then they released the director's cut, i bought that too and was that ever a disappointment... Now this... thing ? has come out; what is it ? what does it have to do with DD except for sharing the title ? is the presence of his sister supposed to legitimize the use of the Darko moniker ? i truly do not understand how can movie studios approve such appalling material, sequels yes - and there have been quite a few that were much better than the originals, but movies like this are probably worked out over lunch, with sketchy and vaguely defined ideas jotted down on a napkin and passed to the director to be fleshed out as-it-goes. there's no other explanation guys, this is so bad it's unbelievable that in times of recession they'd think people are going to throw away money on such rubbish in any amounts.

Do not buy or rent this DVD, not only it has *nothing whatsoever* to do with Donnie Darko except the title (and were it a good plot I'd forgive them) but it's just bargain-bin garbage. "Plan 9 from outer space" for the 22nd century boys&girls, but this has no hope of becoming even a classic for bad cinematography, it truly is that bad and has no redeeming features.

Finally, in the hope that somebody with weight in the movie industry monitors these boards, please, i beg you, stop. just stop.
