How Donnie Darko Changed Psychological Horror Movies

[@LaughingLuLu]

I hate how youtube keeps butchering the quality of my videos. I swear I'm gonna have to render my videos in 4k just to get 1080p quality.

I feel like I'm crazy, but I remember this being an action movie when I watched it with family. Then again I wasn't paying much attention.

[@LaughingLuLu]

Interesting lol.

[@Naedlus]

The theatrical cut, and the directors cut, are VERY different films.

[@LaughingLuLu]

@@Naedlus I 100% agree.

I loved this analysis great job 🙏

[@LaughingLuLu]

Thank you.

This movie is positively straightforward in comparison to Southland Tales. Really doesn't help that there is apparently a comic to read first before watching it to "start to get it."

[@LaughingLuLu]

Yeah, I imagine audiences didnt like having to buy a comic to understand the movie.

Did I miss where you say how Donnie Darko Changed Psychological Horror Movies? ( legit question I did skip through the video a bit, not trying to be a dick). I also wouldn't call Donnie Darko a horror movie - psychological or otherwise - by any means.

[@LaughingLuLu]

The video is kinda of just an analysis on the movie, I thought of the title afterwards and I thought it was fitting. I know a lot of people consider Donnie Darko to be a Thriller but I always interpreted it as a psychological horror. I mean yeah, it's not the typical horror movie with blood and gore and jump scares, but I felt like it definitely fit the horror category/definition.

@@LaughingLuLu Fair enough

Ah okay, I actually didn't know that. That makes everything make more sense.
