“If, for some reason, you have yet to see Dark City, do not hesitate … It is one of the finest science fiction films of recent memory.” – Kathi Maio, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction

From the director of The Crow – John Murdoch (Rufus Sewell) awakens alone in a strange hotel to find that he has lost his memory and is wanted for a series of brutal and bizarre murders.  While trying to piece together his past, he stumbles upon a fiendish underworld controlled by a group of beings known as The Strangers who possess the ability to put people to sleep and alter the city and its inhabitants.  Now Murdoch must find a way to stop them before they take control of his mind and destroy him.  With William Hurt as Inspector Frank Bumstead, Kiefer Sutherland as Dr. Daniel P. Schreber, Jennifer Connelly as Emma Murdoch / Anna, and Richard O’Brien as Mr. Hand.

“A nightmare-fueled neo-noir masterpiece. It’s surreal, it’s odd, but it’s also remarkably creative and deserves to be seen.” – Kristy Strouse, Film Inquiry
