Donnie Darko - DVD

Fifteen years before Stranger Things combined science fiction, Spielbergian touches and 80s nostalgia to much acclaim, Richard Kelly set the template - and the high-water mark - with his debut feature, Donnie Darko. Initially beset with distribution problems, it would slowly find it's audience and emerge as arguably the first cult classic of the new millennium. Donnie is a troubled high school student in therapy, prone to sleepwalking and in possession of an imaginary friend, a six-foot rabbit named Frank, who tells him the world is going to end in 28 days, 06 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds. During that time he will navigate teenage life, narrowly avoid death in the form of a falling jet engine, follow Frank's maladjusted instructions and try to maintain the space-time continuum. Described by it's director as InchThe Catcher in the Rye as told by Philip K. DickInch, Donnie Darko combines an eye-catching, eclectic cast - pre-stardom Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal, heartthrob Patrick Swayze, former child star Drew Barrymore, Oscar nominees Mary McDonnell and Katharine Ross, and television favorite Noah Wyle - and an evocative soundtrack of 80s classics by Echo and the Bunnymen, Tears for Fears and Duran Duran. This 4K restoration by Arrow Films allows a modern classic to receive the home video treatment it deserves

In the wee hours one evening in a small Southern town, 17 grade school classmates got up from their beds, left their homes, and ran off into the night. As the stunned community grapples with the inexplicable-from the kids' suspected, fragile teacher (Julia Garner) to the dad (Josh Brolin) for whom the authorities aren't moving fast enough-the truths behind the phenomenon will reveal in jaw-dropping fashion. Zach Cregger's stylish shocker co-stars Alden Ehrenreich, Benedict Wong, Austin Abrams. 128 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks English Dolby Atmos TrueHD, DVS, French Dolby Digital 5.1, Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles English (SDH), French, Spanish; featurettes.
