25th anniversary screening of the cult sci-fi horror classic Donnie Darko, preceded by the short film 'Dummy Run'.
Donnie Darko is back on the big screen at Storyhouse Cinema on Friday 30 and Saturday 31 October, as part of a 25th anniversary screening of the cult sci-fi horror classic. It's a double bill, with the feature preceded by Dummy Run, a 17-minute short directed by Richard Kelly.
For those who haven't seen it, Donnie Darko follows a troubled high-school student who befriends Frank, a six-foot rabbit who tells him the world will end in 28 days. It's Richard Kelly's directorial debut, starring Jake Gyllenhaal in one of his earliest roles alongside Mary McDonnell, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jena Malone and Drew Barrymore. It arrived well ahead of Stranger Things and is described as arguably the first cult classic of the new millennium.
The night runs about 130 minutes in total, and there are no adverts or trailers before the short, so the whole thing gets moving straight away. You've got two dates to choose from: Friday 30 October at 8:15pm and Saturday 31 October at 8pm, which makes it a handy Halloween plan if you're in Chester that weekend.
