Not that long after it was revealed that the sequel to the cult film Donnie Darko called S. Darko is heading straight to DVD shelves, we now have the trailer to finally give us a full feel of just what this pointless sequel is going to be like.
There’s no doubt that they are going to try and capitalize on the quirky, cult-ish nature of the first film by attempting to replicate it in this one. And I hope you’ll join me joyous unison in saying that they have failed…
Check out the trailer below:

Before I get onto how the movie looks I will say wow, is that really the girl who played Donnie’s kid sister in the first film?! Man, she has grown quickly and is no longer as sweet and innocent as Darko fans remember her being.
Now onto the trailer….
Wow, does it look awful. It looks like they’ve watched Donnie Darko multiple times and thought, “Okay -- how can we make another one of those?” It basically looks like Donnie Darko sans the charm, humor, iconic nature and heck, even the original main character.
What’s with what appears to be a meteor strike? The special powers (fire conjuring)? The attempt to use the countdown to the end of the world thing from the first film just comes off as completely lame, and as for the appearance of the Frank rabbit mask….talk about eye-rolling.
The only reason I think anyone will give this film the time of day is out of morbid curiosity -- just how bad will this be? Or will the final film prove all of us wrong and actually be worthwhile? I suspect the former but we won’t know until the DVD hits shelves.
S. Darko is set to come out on DVD on April 28th.

I’m actually somewhat surprised. I was expecting the run-of-the-mill, sci-fi channel schlock.
I honestly must say, this doesn’t look that bad.
@Alex
I have to agree. The only thing I thought looked absolutely horrible was the guy with the psychic arm coming out of his chest (can’t remember what it was called). He can’t act. At all.
really??? I didnt see anything wrong with it, its just all the D. Darko fans who feel raped. But I loved D. Darko, and this didnt look bad at all.
And it certainly doesnt look straight to DVD, it should get a theatre release.
I guess my obsessive love for the first one fuels my anger for wanting to further that. It’s TOTALLY unecessary and I stand by what I said in the post; it looks like crap.
Sure, it’s an unnecessary sequel, but it looks WAY better than it should.
And that Samara girl (look up THE RING if you don’t know what I mean), grew up to be a pretty yummy gal, I must say.
This flick could actually turn out to be kinda interesting.
Sorry, Vic. I will give this thing a chance on DVD.
the actual movie content aside, i must say…the title sucks!
just call it Samantha Darko. S. Darko? wtf
Look, I have no idea what the actual movie is gonna be like…but that had to be the WORST trailer I have ever seen in my ENTIRE LIFE.
That is all.
ALEX YOUR NEAT!!!!! =)
