Stay
Ok anyone but me seen this movie? It was really good but soooo confusing. I wasn't sure what was going on the whole time. I have heard it compared to Donnie Darko but i didn't see the comparison.
Follow and suggest movies.

Lol yea, I loved that movie 
I just bought the DVD the other day infact. But yea, you and me are probably the only two who have seen it... it bombed royally at the boxoffice and noone else I know has even heard of it.
Anyway, the movie is actually quite simple if you sit and think about it for a little bit and then rewatch it. The movie deffenately benifits from repeated viewings...
The only reason the movie is compared to Donnie Darko is cause
[spoiler]some people see Donnie Darko as Donnie having a dream before he died and the dream was to prepare him for death. So the whole movie they feel is a dream (I don't agree with that but anyway). In Stay, the whole movie IS a dream. Well, actually, the kid is having a NDE. That and they're both confusing the first time you watch it. But thats basically the only connection... personally I think Stay has more in common with Jacobs Ladder than Donnie Darko.[/spoiler]

A psychiatrist who is trying to help this suicidal college student who plans to kill himself in 3 days for some "unknown" reason. As the doctor tries to unravel the kids past and what happened, everything just starts getting real confusing and bizarre till nothing really makes any sense. The visual effects really help with the "what the crap is going on?" feel.
It's really hard to describe any more than that without totally spoiling the whole thing

Yes that statement is dead on. It is way to hard to explain without giving anything away.
