Richard Kelly’s Donnie Darko (2001) began as a small, near-unmarketable indie about a troubled teenager who begins seeing visions of a man in a grotesque rabbit suit. Shot in just 28 days, the film mixed suburban malaise with time travel, teenage alienation, and Reagan-era paranoia. Jake Gyllenhaal’s performance walks a fine line between vulnerability and madness, and Frank the Rabbit remains one of the most haunting icons of early 2000s cinema. The movie flopped on release, buried in the shadow
