Donnie Darko is a psychological horror-sci-fi cult that defies any definition. A teenager (Jake Gyllenhaal) struggling with his "issues" throughout the 1980s starts seeing apparitions of a strange man in a rabbit suit. Things only get worse from there. The movie deals with time travel, fate, mental illness, and existentialism. At first, it flopped at the box office but gained cult status because of the thought-provoking storyline and eerie atmosphere it had, especially with the unforgettable performance by Gyllenhaal.
