Jessica,
I too like Dark City. Why do you hate it?
'The Killer In Me'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Jessica,
I too like Dark City. Why do you hate it?
I found it smug, pretentious, repetitive and boring.
Gorgeous production design, though.
What makes a movie smug?
Horror movie people--do you know what this is from: [link]
WARNING Disturbing, so don't click the link if you are squeamish.
No idea, Perkins, but scary!
My guess would be "The Ring" or "The Ring 2", but I don't know it for a fact.
I sorta' liked Dark City, but I feel it was somewhat ruined by the voiceover at the beginning that explains the conceit of the film. (Apparently they thought it would be too confusing without it.)
It looks like it could be any of the remakes of Japanese horror movies that hit in the last ten years.
I remember being really startled when Dark City was Ebert's #1 film of the year.
Ebert liked Dark City so much, that on one of the DVD editions, he gets a commentary track all to himself.
