Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I know this is a direct to video title, but I figured there was enough of a fan following for DONNIE DARKO that at the very least a morbid curiosity exists for seeing what a follow-up will look like.
And I think the trailer I'm linking below actually looks well-made. It doesn't look like direct to video crap, but I will say there's a feeling of rrreeeaaalllyyy trying to be like Richard Kelly's original.
But as a kid I always had a soft spot for odd sequels, even if they were low-rent photocopies of the ones I loved. The fact that they got Donnie's sister from the first, Daveigh Chase, to come back now as a teenager reminds me of those movies... mostly horror movies, actually... that I grew up loving.
So, consider me mixed on this. I'll probably catch it when it hits cable. The trailer makes me at least not want to just blow the whole thing off, so I suppose that means it works. What do you folks think?
