A visual tour de force, Dark City is a neo-noir in the Hitchcockian mold, “a film so original and exciting, it stirred my imagination like Metropolis and 2001: A Space Odyssey” (Roger Ebert).

In proving he didn’t commit a murder, an amnesiac falls deeper and deeper into a rabbit hole of psychosis and treachery.

Stylish film noir and insane pre-Matrix sci-fi from director Alex Proyas. People weren’t ready for Dark City in ‘98 but like Blade Runner a cult has risen up and now it is almost essential viewing for awesome things to come out of the '90s.

This visually innovative genre mash-up has a man struggling with memories of his past, including a wife he cannot remember, in a nightmarish world with no sun that's run by beings with telekinetic powers who seek the souls of humans.
