Synopsis: In this sequel to Richard Kelly’s 2001 cult hit, seven years have passed since the bizarre and tragic death of Donnie Darko. His now-18-year-old sister, Samantha, is traveling down a lonely desert... In this sequel to Richard Kelly’s 2001 cult hit, seven years have passed since the bizarre and tragic death of Donnie Darko. His now-18-year-old sister, Samantha, is traveling down a lonely desert road with her best friend when their car breaks down. Stranded, they take refuge in a nearby small town. But when Samantha begins having visions reminiscent of the ones that visited Donnie so many years ago, is she experiencing the same phenomenon? Or is it something else entirely? Daveigh Chase reprises her role from the original film in this mind-bending sci-fi mystery thriller that once again treads in the sinister abstract. S. DARKO co-stars Ed Westwick (GOSSIP GIRL), Brianna Evigan (STEP UP 2), Jackson Rathbone (TWILIGHT), and Elizabeth Berkley (SHOWGIRLS). [More]
