All in all, the two-minute-plus trailer does a great job of articulating the movie’s feeling and plot without giving much away. We are introduced to Donnie Darko, then the rest of the trailer oozes with unsettling scenes/suggestions of mental illness, hallucinations, violence, and sci-fi elements such as wormholes in time. The scene and music then rapidly transform to the darkness of a psychological thriller or scary movie.
